This is a great family trip to take! Our guide, Mary, was young but very experienced. She grew up in Durango so she had a lot of interesting details to share on the trip down the river. We booked the one hour with Class I, II, and III rapids and it was perfect! Our older daughter was a little nervous not knowing what to expect but she loved it!! They even have an option for people (including small children and elderly) to get out of the raft before the rapids. Such a great experience for all ages!! I highly recommend!

I loved this experience that our guide Trudy provided for us. She was pointing stuff out that we might be interested in. She was very happy the whole time and very funny. Their sure wasn’t a dull moment on the raft. She was also great with kids she would check up on us and then and be really caring in general. Thanks Trudy for making my family’s rafting experience not one to forget.
