We did the 1/2 day Lower Animas River rafting experience. Our guide Joe was amazing, he was very knowledgeable about the area and kept the trip interesting throughout. We will definitely be back.

We’ve done this rafting trip both times we’ve visited Durango, and our whole family loves it. We had a great guide again this time (thanks Vinnie!). The guides make the experience a lot of fun and it’s evident safety is a top priority.
