We chose Mountain Waters based on other reviews and my wife floated with this company 3 years ago . All the reviews for this company were amazing . The staff welcomed us and they were very nice . The time of day of this tour and the length was perfect for our 8 and 11 year old grand children. We were taken to our drop off point by Zach and Axel . They were both amazing . Zach was very light hearted but got the safety talk done . Once we were on the river, Zach was our raft leader but Axel was close to us with another family . Zach was amazing and had a great personality! He explained to us everything with rafting . Great guy and very knowledgeable about rafting . He was great to our grandkids . Once we stopped at some higher level of rapids and swam , Zach and Axel both were very attentive and joking with everybody . Great company! Anytime we are in Durango , we will go with Mountain Waters !! Thanks Zach and Axel!! You both made the trip amazing .

Really enjoyed the water park area. Bobby our guide was great. It was a lot tamer than we expected. Would have been nice for a few more rapids & splashes but, I guess that’s up to the river
