Is hard to pick just one. The entire experience from when we showed up till we loaded up and headed back was amazing. This was our third rafting trip as a family at three separate locations in Colorado and this was by far the most memorable. Toby did an wonderful job explaining what we were seeing on the shore and in the water. He was truly a joy to raft with, and was very engaging and considerate of our kids. It started to rain as soon as we arrived and it didn’t phase anyone on the staff. We will be returning to Mild To Wild if we come back to Durango and Mancos. Thank you to everyone. And to Toby. I promise our family will try the burger place you suggested. Lol.

Excellent service! Abby was a super guide! She led us through the rapids and was very professional. I loved only having 4 in our boat.
