We were here for a wedding and wanted to fit in a quick rafting adventure before a Bridal Shower in the afternoon. This was perfect! Carlos was nice enough to arrange for us to go in an all adult paddle boat raft with Dillon that could tackle some of the bigger waves and swells without fear of scaring any children. The river was roaring and fast. Dillon and our raft mates were so fun and we took full advantage of our freedom! We had a wonderful time and we’re laughing and hooting at the high swells and challenges the whole way. We got thoroughly drenched as requested! (It helps to be in front.😉) Thanks Dillon! Great choice to go with Mountain Waters. Highly recommended! The pictures from the bridge came out great too!

Durango hosts a lot of weddings and it is fun to get the groups out on the river. Sounds like Carlos and Dillon did a great job making sure y'all got what you wanted, thank you for the review!

My family and I had THE BEST time with this raft company! Emily was our guide and was filled with so many amazing facts as we rafted down the Animas river. They are all about safety which makes the trip even better (we used another raft company and few years ago and we were never briefed about any safety tips). I would highly recommend this company for all your rafting needs!

We all know being safe is no accident and it is certainly our first priority with fun and looking good close seconds. Glad you enjoyed the trip and thank you for the review!
