If you are visiting Durango, this is a must-do! We 5 women had Don (the Mon) as our guide. Don was extremely knowledgeable about everything Durango and river/water safety. We all had a blast. Thanks Don. Good luck in all of your future endeavors!

Fantastic family time in raft for 10 including 4 kids. Richard was our entertaining and amazing guide with lots of experience under his belt. He kept us entertained while not compromising our safety, and by navigating us through the rocks in the river like he could have done it blindfolded. There was just enough excitement from the Class 3 rapids to motivate us to do this again on our next trip!

My entire family had an amazing time! Our guide was fantastic, was funny, and informative! We were kind of disappointed that not all members of our group got to paddle due to them not bringing the right size raft. We ended up having 8 people on a six passenger raft. We felt it would’ve been more enjoyable if everyone got to participate.
