What a great raft trip for our family of 5 with the youngest being 9! John was a great raft guide and made the trip so fun for the kids. Lots of extra surfing and fun. The water squirters made were needed for an ongoing water battle on the river. Our kids voted this the best part of our trip to Durango!

Thank you for your review, we are so happy you enjoyed your rafting trip with your two kiddos and John as your guide! It is so much fun to have on river water wars, and as we like to say, never go on the river unarmed!
