There were so many reasons that we could have bailed out- it rained, it hailed, we got stuck on rocks but in the strong, capable hands of professional guide Nikki, no one opted out. I would choose this company again based on the quality of their personnel. Nikki is not only a professional river runner, she is an EMT. I felt so comfortable! She knew that river and was fun to talk to. Double thumbs up from Will and Teri.

Thanks Teri and Will. We are so lucky to have Nikki part of our team, as well as all our team members. Feel free to request her for one of the amazing multiday trips she also guides for us: Gates of Lodore, Yampa, Cataract Canyon and Desolation Canyon! She is really amazing on these trips.

This was a first time experience for me and my 17 year old son. It was thrilling, relaxing and entertaining by turns. We always felt safe with our guide, even when we got stuck on rocks! LOL

I take a group to Durango every year and always include a rafting trip with Mild to Wild. Everyone is great! The raft guides are always helpful and fun. Easy to book--great prices. I highly recommend this for your next visit to Durango.
