We are a family of four, our kids are 6 and 10. We wanted to start small for 3/4 family members first time rafting. We had a great time! Our 6 year old was nervous at first, loved rafting by the end of the trip and wanted to go again. Our guides were fun, knowledgeable and great teachers to us about rafting/rowing. If you're in Durango, this is a quick, very worth your while raft trip to take.
