5Great tour
We had a great time on this trip. We travel a lot and I could tell you that Nick was one of the best tour guides we had on a trip. He was very informative and knew a lot about the area and rafting. We highly recommend this tour.
5Refreshing Family Summer Fun!
We went in July while the water was low, and it was perfect for two young children (7 and 9 years). Our driver, Jack, was great, and our guide, Eric, was friendly, knowledgeable and awesome with kids. In case you don’t read the info before you arrive, wear sunscreen, and bring a water bottle and hat. You can leave minimal belongings behind in a plastic container. Seeing Durango from the Animas River was a memorable family experience!
5WONDERFUL TIME WHITEWATER RAFTING
Had an awesome time!! Had an awesome guide….think his name was Baff?? Hope that was his name cuz he was wonderful!! And the bus driver, Trevor, got us there & back with no worries.

About Durango
Durango is a Wild West railroad town in south-west Colorado, on the Animas River, known for its steam train, the San Juan Mountains and nearby Mesa Verde.
Durango was founded in 1880 as a railroad town for the silver mines of the San Juan Mountains, and its Main Avenue still has Victorian brick buildings, saloons and hotels from that time. A coal-fired narrow-gauge steam train, running since 1882, chugs up the Animas River canyon to the mining town of Silverton, through scenery of high peaks and gorges.
