We did the half day / 4 hour ride with our teenage kids and they loved it. The waters weren’t as rapid as some rafting trips I’ve done in the past, but Sid made sure we had a great time even in the calmer waters. Thanks Sid!

The family friendly raft trip you did through Durango can be spiced up by choosing the inflatable kayak, and of course we are one of the only outfitters running more challenging rivers in the area. Thank you for taking the time to write Syd and Mountain Waters a review, Cheers!

Super fun! My mommy-daughter trip was way over due due to the pandemic. We've never rafted before so its good for first timers. Our guide Marcus and sid were amazing and super friendly! Totally recommend.

Good on you for getting that first raft trip under your belt. I expect it will be a life long activity as it is for all of us at Mountain Waters Rafting, thank you for the review!

Everything was well organized and on time. Overall, everything was as described, and I would recommend the half-day trip. Dillion, our guide, did an excellent job taking us down the river. He shared a lot of interesting information about the town and river as we rafted and made sure the afternoon was nice mix of adventure and relaxation. It was a great way to experience Durango!

Setting the right expectations makes for an "Amazing Adventure" and I am happy to hear you let our future guests know that. Dillon, like everyone at Mountain Waters, loves the outdoors and especially rafting and your feedback means a lot to us, Cheers!
