Hi, my name is Saige and I was lucky enough to have Dom, Andy, Marcus, and Doug. I just want to let you know that these people are pretty special. I had them all in a week because I go to Durango Mountain Camp. Thank you guys so much!!! I had the best time ever and when I didn't they were always there to help me. I had a rough couple of days my first week and then I got to have Dom and Marcus and they made it so much better. Please treat these wonderful guys so much they deserve it the are the best. You rock Mountain Waters!!!!!! Saige

Easy parking,reasonable fees. Jeb was our guide. Personable and helpful to my grandson who was kayaking for the first time.. Marcus and our bus driver Doug ( who by the way talents should not be wasted as a driver) were friendly and professional. Positive experience all around.

Well, you are right about Doug. He is also an operations manager and lead guide on the level 4 and 5 trips on the Upper Animas and Piedra Rivers. It's been a real pleasure to watch him mature as a person, a father, an employee and a friend. Thank you for the review, Cheers!

It was a relaxing float down the river. The tour guide Jeb had lots of information about the town of Durango. He made me feel relaxed and safe with my younger daughter. My daughter had lots of fun too. Jeb also went out of the way to make it extra fun for her and the other ladies on the raft. He was awesome !!!

Kid tested and mom approved since 1981 is a tag line we inherited when we bought the company years ago and it hasn't changed one bit because the kids want fun and mom wants to feel safe and that will always be our focus here at Mountain Waters Rafting. Thank you for the review, Cheers!
