This was an amazing trip. My husband and I did the Jeep ride and train combination. We had a wonderful time. Our guides (Marty and Sesh) were amazing and very knowledgeable. The bus ride up was interesting. We arrived at Silverton and were able to walk around the town a little bit before we climbed in the jeep. The drive... More

Hi! Thanks so much for your review of our inflatable kayak trip on Durango's Lower Animas River. We are so glad you liked the way we run the trip with a guide in his/her own kayak along side of you, instead of just using the guides that are in the rafts! Safety is our #1 priority! Thanks again.

Loved our day trip down the Salt......the canyon was gorgeous, the rafting was alternately exciting and serene and Wil was a really great guide with years of experience on rivers all over the country. Great steak at the lunch stop, guys! We chose Mild2Wild again for our raft trip in Arizona because we had such a good experience with them... More

I didn't know that Arizona had a "mini Grand Canyon" rafting trip until we did it ourselves. This rare gem is a tremendous opportunity to enjoy a part of the desert that is deserving of more recognition. Once again, M2W has gone beyond our expectations with an amazing rafting experience. Josh was an awesome guide and was very helpful, friendly,... More

We had a beautiful trip down the Salt with a very friendly and entertaining guide, Dan. We opted for a half day trip since we had 3 kids in range from 7 years old to 14 and it turned out a perfect amount of time on the river. Beautiful part of Arizona.

Took off on the 3-day trip with Josh and James. Wade came along and brought a 2-day crew. I can't thank these guys enough for the great time we had. Everything was awesome...river, scenery, food, camp fires, thrill, and cold beers. Thanks again for everything!!

Went rafting with a group of 6 friends, only 2 had ever been before. Chris was our guide. We had an amazing time. Chris was personable, knowledgeable and a very competent raftsman. Would highly recommend this event, this company and Chris as a guide.

Dear Kellie: Thanks for your review of the Express Trip in AZ's spectacular Salt River Canyon. It is the same trip as the full day, but without lunch.

We do an annual rafting trip and used these guys for the first time. What a great adventure! The guides were great, pointing out local sights and doling out local lore about the river. Lots of fun!
