Mild to Wild always runs a great trip. We’ve done this one a few times and it never gets old. Perfect half day trip to splash a little and see a slightly different view of Durango.

For my first time rafting with my family I truly had an amazing time! The experience as a whole was the highlight. The tour guide was so kind, fun and interactive and gave us so much to talk about (The tour guide was Emma by the way) She had so much prior knowledge of Durango and made her a perfect tour guide. The adventure itself was so fun and gave us all smiles and thrills. I highly recommend to those who have either never been rafting before or that want to raft again!
