This was the highlight of our trip for sure. Beau, our guide, did a great job keeping our entire family engaged on the river. He had both our kiddos squealing with laughter as we doused them with water. Totally recommend this company for your next family adventure!

Beau is a family man himself but all of our guides are kids at heart and readily connect with the kiddos on our trips making for lots and lots of great reviews with our favorite phrase "highlight of our trip for sure." Thank you for the review and recommendation!

My wife and I took our two sons (14 and 9) on a half-day rafting trip on a first time visit to Durango. Our guide Dillon made the entire trip from the bus ride to navigating the various white water sections a BLAST!!! Our youngest, usually the most timid, sat in the front and dared the water to crest the bow of our raft. Our oldest braved a rock jump into the river for a quick splash. All the while we were entertained with history lessons, folklore of the river, and a good dose of “unique” jokes. We can’t wait to come back to Durango again and float the river with Dillon (BEST GUIDE EVER) and Mountain Waters Rafting.
