I can't say enough good things about MWR! My husband and our two teenage sons did a half day rafting and kayaking trip on July 10. My husband and I did the raft and our guide was Jesse. He was awesome! He was outgoing, funny and had the best laugh! We kept getting stuck on the rocks because the water level was way down and Jesse was great about getting out and pushing us off of them. He gave great directions and we had such a good time. Our kids did the kayaking and their guide was Syd the Squid. According to my boys She rocked!! They had never kayaked down a river and she walked them thru everything and taught them everything they needed to know. They loved it so much that they even did the rapids 3 times! They said she was so fun and they loved having her as a guide. Thanks to both Jesse and Syd for such a great time!

I heard about your kids running the whitewater park 3 times! How cool, that's a great way to make the most of these summer time river flows which are pretty low right now. Pray for rain! Thanks for the kind words and great review, we really appreciate it!

Nestled near downtown Durango, this wonderful adventure had it all. Entertaining guides, professional and courteous staff upon check-in and plenty of laughs and fun for the family. Our guide, Eric, was relatively new to Durango but was an excellent rafting guide! We were a group a two couples and three teen girls. All were able to participate and really enjoy the experience. Overall, we would highly recommend this tour.
