Even though this company advertises other activities, they are “sister” companies so they don’t offer bundling, and they charge you fees instead of going direct for the other companies that won’t charge the fees.

Thank you so much for your review and for sharing your concerns. Just to clarify, we were able to apply a discount for you raft trip and an extra portion for not being able to offer a discount on the zip lining since they are not offering discounts at this time. Our fees are 2% more than the ziplining but the added discount you gained on your rafting was more than the $2 you paid in extra fees. We do try to give the best value always and the best guest services and we value our customers and would love talk with you more about your experience, please reach out to our office: (970) 247-4789.

The family river raft in Durango was great. We had a great guide (clay). He and the other raft guides made the trip great fun. Clay also recommended a Mexican food place (la hacienda) that was excellent. The company was very safety oriented in which we appreciated, since we had 3 children on the trip.

Loved every minute of it. Friendly from the start to finish. Corbin our guide/river guru was a professional with a twist of fun and local information. Will ask for him again and refer friends!
