Pricing is fair, ride is exciting and plenty of "WHOA! I didn't see that coming". Family friendly but they take great care of little ones. taking them off the raft in the tough spots. We were fortunate to get Karen as our raft captain. Experienced with the oars and the raft, fabulous sense of humor, got to know us all. Very knowledgeable about history of the Durango area and taught us a lot. (And my son Garrison thanks her for teaching us how to recover someone who falls overboard!) You will have a blast on this tour.

Greatly enjoyed our half day rafting trip on the Animas!! Mountain Waters Rafting is the only outfit you should use! Guides were knowledgeable about rafting and the local history of Durango! Shout out to our guide, Axle...thanks for being extra awesome, funny, and giving our small kids a chance to really enjoy the trip!
