We rafted with my 9, 7 and 5 year old boys. It was the 5 year old’s first time so we booked the hour trip. There were plenty of rapids for him, and 1 he couldn’t do (he had to get out and walk around it with his grandma). The other boys thought it was somewhat exciting. Our guide, Shawn (Or Sean, not sure!) was super friendly and helpful. He let our kids swim for a bit in a calm part of the river. I would highly recommend this trip for anyone who wants more “mild” than “wild”!

Brody made our afternoon rafting in Durango a great one. The experience was perfect for our family with 14 and 10 year old kids. We highly recommend the family rafting trip.

Trey and Collette were our guides for the raft and kayak tours. They were super fun. We had a wonderful time. Our younger kids had a blast in the raft while our teenager had a great time on the kayak.
