We did a half day family raft trip down the Animas with nine people ranging in age from 8 to 63. We had a wonderful time, all of the staff were super friendly and helpful. Our guide was Chris and he was awesome! We’ll be back for sure!

I was a white water virgin and I popped my cherry on this trip to Durango with Mountain Water Rafting. Man we hit the jackpot with Axel as out guide. The dude has legit skills in a boat, but it was his personality and the time he took with our children that set the gold standard in customer service. Dude is a class act and an asset to any company he shares his talkers with.

Thank you so much for your review! We're so glad your first time was so enjoyable! We couldn't agree more about Axel, we're incredibly lucky to have him, and we're happy to hear he made your family's experience on the river memorable!
