Our family booked the half day rafting trip in Durango on July 31st and Robbie was our guide. We do not have enough praise to offer him for his excellent knowledge of the river, directions he provided us and the other family aboard the raft and his personable, friendly nature. Robbie was a blast to have as a guide and if it’s possible to request him as your guide, we highly recommend that you do so. This rafting trip was part of a 2 week RV vacation around Colorado and was the highlight of our trip. The entire staff offered an excellent experience from beginning to end. We will definitely book another rafting trip with Mild 2 Wild when we make our way back to Durango!
