Amazing trip. Our guide Corben room amazing care to make it an unforgettable first rafting trip for our children (5, 7 and 9). The littler ones had been nervous beforehand but absolutely loved it and have been asking to do it again ever since!

We have been coming to Durango for over 20 years! White seater rafting is a must activity with every trip! We only use Mild to Wild! They are an incredible outfit with highly skilled guides who are so focused/dedicated to creating an individualized ( check on guests and ask what they prefer as far as the kind of ride) perfect experience! We have never had the same guide twice and everyone we feel we got the best guide! ;-)! Love them all! We had Sam this time and he was outstanding!!! We had the best time! As always!

Thank you so much for your review Lisa, and we are so happy that you have trusted Mild to Wild with getting you on the best adventure for so many years. We do all our guide training in-house and are so glad you've had great experiences with all of them thus far, that is so great to hear! Thanks for shouting out Sam, we already are counting down the days until you're back in the Durango area for another round of river rafting!

Our group had a great time on this trip. We’ve done several rafting trips and this was one of the best, thanks to our guide, Slack! The staff was very friendly and a lot of fun. Definitely recommend!
