The entire experience was GREAT, from booking to tour. Booking was simple, no pressure and VERY accommodating to our needs. Lee, our tour guide, felt like a long lost friend by the end of the tour. Best day of our vacation!! He was a great tour guide and very capable driver, which is VERY important on this tour! Will definitely book their Jeep tour next year, it was just a little too late in the season this time. You won't regret booking with this group!

For being my first rafting trip, the half day rafting trip down the Animas River in Durango, CO. was perfect. The river was low but still had plenty of rapids. Joe, our guide, was so personable and friendly. He told us about all the other rafting trips that were available, in CO. and Utah, 3-day, 6-day, etc. and I was ready to sign up. Fun afternoon!

Dillon was an amazing guide! This was our second year rafting with Mild to Wild and we will definitely be back next year.

Fun trip even though the River levels were very low (on the order of 390 something). Guide mostly kept raft from getting stuck on rocks, max the one decent rapid fun and helped us surf the bottom of it.

Rio was awesome. Even though the water was lower than we had hoped it was still a blast! Would totally recommend Mild to Wild.
