Corbin and “Mild to Wild” ROCK!!! We are a family of four (kids 10 & 8) and we had such a fun day rafting on the Animas River with our guide Corbin from Mild to Wild. The company’s page and on-site management made booking and set-up super easy. All of the equipment used throughout the day were clean and well maintained. Even though the water levels were lower on the river (normal during the seasonal shifts) Corbin still made the experience super fun by using some cool techniques to get us spinning off of the rocks and flowing through the rocky areas. As a rafting expert who has guided tours on a number of different rivers across the US, you could tell that he knew how to capitalize on what Mother Nature had to offer and it made for a great memory. In the end, I felt that my family and I were in great hands, which to me is priceless.

Thank you so much for your review, we are so happy to hear that you and your family had such a great time out on the river with Corbin! Mother Nature is always tricky this time of year, but we are happy that Corbin still made sure that you all had a wonderful time. River memories are the best memories and we are so happy that we were a part of making them with you and your family!
