My family and I decided to do the 2-hour white water rafting tour and had a blast! Mary was an amazing raft guide and had lots of cool information about the sights we saw in Durango along the way. Would recommend to do this as a fun activity for a small group of people while in the area!

We went in 2014 and then this year. This time had better rapids, but the service and guides were very good. Zach guided us in a private boat and I think it was fun to to participate in paddling. (good workout too) We had to wait for a while for the bus to pick us up afterwards, but the guides led in some games.

We are happy to hear you had a great rafting adventure with Zach. Paddling is great for the arm muscles so we count it as arm day around here! Thanks for taking the time to share Mike!

This was a great trip- probably more tame than wild so good for just about everyone in your group. (The tamer ones can stay at the hotel and the wilder ones can book their own trip!) Our guide was “Rio”- (never asked him his given name but should have)- anyway he was “NORMAL & LOVELY”- 2 highest words of praise I have for anyone. And a whole lot of fun- I don’t know if they let you request but you should try asking for him. I make my living in retail. I’d hire Rio if he was into fashion rather than rafting. He’s customer service at its finest. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
