We had a great family reunion trip on the Lower Animas! My husband and I were repeat customers and decided to book our family on the rafting trip. Destiny did a great job guiding our raft. The group booking option that Joe B. sent out made it very easy for everyone in our group to book, pay, and register for their trip.

My only regret is that I don’t live in Durango so I could spend time with these folks regularly! Jenny in booking, Alayna in our briefing, and Alex, Emma, and Hayden on the River made our upper Piedra trip outstanding. We also did a full-day Mesa Verde trip with Marty. Loved every minute. We will return to Durango just to do more trips with these folks!

Thank you so much for your review! We are so, so glad that your entire experience from rafting the Piedra and exploring Mesa Verde was so enjoyable. We are so lucky to have such an amazing staff, and we're happy that they took care of you every step of the way, that's what we're all about. We hope you come back for more adventures with us! Thank you again!

We had a great time. Our Guide Hayden was very pleasant and great with the kids. Will definitely go again the next time we visit Durango. And when Hayden is in Arizona.
