Such a great rafting trip! Mild to Wild in Durango was super organized and the whole process was smooth & so much fun!! Our guide Steve was hilarious, knowledgeable and did a great job of mastering our raft and the River. Besides having a beautiful & fun time on the River, Steve educated us on the history of Durango and the area. I also loved the way all the rafting guides worked together as a team. Highly recommend!

Robby took us out in kayaks (ducks) and was friendly, helpful and proficient. He nailed it and the whole team told some seriously corny jokes. All in all, a great time.
