Brought a group of students to Durango and did a half day rafting trip with Mild to Wild. I cannot say enough about how great it was. Students were hesitant at first because if was a rainy day but when they got it the rafts, they had a blast! Everyone at Mild to Wild was helpful, friendly and fun. This is the 10th year I've brought students to Durango and scheduled a rafting trip. I plan on doing this for 10 more years! Mild to Wild is the best!

Fantastic adventure! You will get wet! Our guide Benji, was very knowledgeable about the area and was skilled in directing the raft in a safe yet exciting manner.

We had an excellent tour with Emma. She warned us the river was mostly a lazy one, but for my husband's first time it was a great first trip. Emma had a good conversation with us and was quite knowledgeable about the river, the animals and the local area. We will be coming back earlier in the season next time!!
