We had a great time! Our guide Craig and team leader Syd made it lots of fun. It was a beautiful day and the water was perfect. We did the shorter trip due to time constraints but I think would have enjoyed the longer half day trip just as much or more. Highly recommend Mountain Waters Rafting!!

This is when I get to say that more river time is always the better choice and thank you for pointing that out to the readers of TripAdvisor reviews about rafting the beautiful Animas River in Durango, Cheers!

Our team leader Aiden was professional & full of good information about the area. We loved being on the water, we were able to jump in at one point on our hour tour & lastly the rapids were a splash of fun. We took our 4 kids, youngest child is a toddler. Awesome family experience 😎.

This was a fun experience! Aiden was a terrific guide. We enjoyed hearing hearing about his experiences and he also gave us some good local restaurant recommendations. The only thing we didn’t care for was that our 10 year old had to get out of the boat and be walked around the whitewater part which was the most fun part. We hated she had to miss out on that part and the intensity of the river was definitely not strong enough for it to be too dangerous for her she. That was the companies policy, not Aiden’s fault. Other than being separated, we loved our trip.

Hi Ashley, I'm glad you had a great experience with Aiden, he's a great guide and a great person. I'm sorry your 10 year old had to miss out on the whitewater park but safety is our number one priority. Age and weight are considered at different flows which change the river from day to day. On the bright side she has something to look forward to the next time she rafts the Animas River! Thank you for your review, Cheers!
