Everything was perfect: our guide Emma, the watercraft, the weather, the beautiful lower Animas River, and of course, Mild to Wild. Even though the river flow rate is a bit slow in July, it did not matter one little bit. The experience was so much fun with our British family, who were first-time river rafters.

By far the best rafting experience I ever had. The staff is amazing and the guides were top notch. Also the guides from the time you step onto the bus until you get off the bus are very entertaining!! They had us laughing and put everyone at ease. Out guide Kip (Kipper the Skipper) did an amazing job and made it really fun for the kids. His mannerisms on the boat were 1st class. All their gear and boats were in excellent condition as well.
