We had a fantastic time on the Animas River! Brody our guide made our adventure even better by sharing fun historic facts about Durango and safely guiding us down the river. When he thought we were ready he challenged our level 3 skills and gave us an excellent experience we will never forget. The pics speak for themselves!

Our group of four (3 adults & 1 child) had a great time on our rafting adventure with our guide Nathaniel. First time for me and grandson, and I appreciated the attention to detail in fitting our PFD and helmets, short van trip to the river for the 3 groups floating at the same time, and instruction on how to paddle and navigate and follow Nathaniel's orders. Highly recommend this company and Nathaniel. The other two guides were fun to watch as well!

Thank you so much for your review, we are so happy that you enjoyed the river rafting with Nathaniel as your guide! Comfortable and proper fitting equipment are super important to Mild to Wild's mission of being safety conscious and are so glad you all enjoyed your time out on the river and his thorough instructions! We look forward to seeing you all again soon!
