Rafting through Durango is just as popular with the locals as it is the visitors. It’s the perfect mix of excitement for all ages, with the added charm of floating through an impossibly picturesque town. You’ll catch plenty of splashes while getting to sit back and relax on this free-flowing Rocky Mountain river.
Half Day rafting trips on the Lower Animas are incredibly popular for busy schedules. You'll get a couple hours on the water with the best rapid sections.
Plus, our guides are well-trained and absolutely love what they do. You’ll get a hoot out of them as much as they get a hoot out of running this river.

It was a fun and exciting trip on the river with Sam Cook. He gave excellent instructions while reminding us to relax and enjoy the trip. He pointed out the trees and wildlife of interest. Safety was a priority along with fun. The entire staff at Mild2Wild was friendly and helpful. Very glad that I added this trip on the river to my itinerary while on vacation in Durango.

Joe was our guide. Very cool and friendly. Highly recommend. The pictures from the rafting tour was a true let down. It was $35 for pics of no one’s faces and was not worth the price, unfortunately. But the memories will be forever. Great job.

Our guide was the greatest, several of us had never been rafting and some couldn't even swim, but our guide made this experience so wonderful I'm ready for the next level.

The river flow wasn’t fast compared to our last rafting trip at Kern River, but John (our guide) he did an excellent job to spice it up, go above and beyond to make it so fun and memorable. Our raft was the most excited one going down the river compared to the other four. Overall Mild 2 Wild employed a group of friendly knowledgeable people from the office to the guides at the front line. I definitely will go rafting again with them and highly recommend it to everyone!
