Our 7/20 trip was fun and exciting. Our guide Sara was fun, hard worker, and so informative about the Durango area. Highly recommend this trip to those who want a great novice rafting experience!

I do not appreciate how rude a guide was to me, a fisherman on the bank. He missed where he wanted to pull off and ended up a bit low. The guide did not even acknowledge me and just walked across and in front of me while I was trying to fish. When I said "really?", the guide said "tough, its public water". All I was looking for was a "sorry dude, I overshot"-I would have been fine with that. Also, saw two other boats playing boat bump with each other in fast water. Not something I would want to be involved in. I would suggest other Durango raft companies with better trained, more courteous, and less "playfully dangerous" guides.
