Our guide Eddie made our first rafting experience enjoyable and fun. Would definitely recommend! Even though none of us have gone before we felt like we were pros by the end with his positive attitude!

Jesse was our guide and made sure the entire family had fun. We had a 6, 9, and 13 years old and all had a blast. Would definitely recommend and will do it again next time we are in Durango.
