My friend and I went to Durango for a weekend girls trip! I have rafted with Mild to Wild before and was so pleased with the service I chose them again. My friend had NEVER gone white-water rafting before and "Mild" didn't disappoint as a great provider for a novice. We booked a premium half-day trip and wound up being the only guests in our raft. Emmet was our guide and did an amazing job of filling us in on the area as well as making sure we had a "wild" time while still feeling safe and having fun! He was extremely knowledgeable as well as entertaining. Last time I rafted it was with my 9 year old son. We had a similar experience. I highly recommend them while in Durango.

The river is crazy right now with all the snowmelt; we covered more than 20 miles in 3 hours. Sam did a great job explaining everything and leading us down the river. He keeps the slower times entertaining too. Tons of fun!

Amazing time rafting with this group! Our guide Jackson was very knowledgeable, super fun, entertaining, and made our trip! My 13 year old daughter now wants to move to Colorado and become a rafting guide. Highly recommend Mild to Wild in Durango and our guide Jackson!
