About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- BriannaW23230 contributionsDo the longer rafting!My whole family really enjoyed this trip, we just wish we would have picked the longer one. By the time we did the instructions and got dressed (we had to wear wet suits due to water coming off the mountains still) I think we only had an hour on the river. It was my son's first rafting trip, he is 9, and he had to miss a part due to a drop which was not bad at all and I wish he could have stayed in the boat. The tour guides were great, fun, and safety first! I just recommend doing longer tour.Written September 12, 2024
- Hagz20240 contributionsRiver trip with Beau MooreVery fun and enjoyed the guides they were funny and good at there Job. I would highly recommend a rafting trip with Durango mountain waters.Written September 10, 2024
- NorthStar2875150 contributionsIt’s a convenient in town rafting experienceThis is a beautiful stretch of river starting a little above town and going through some very scenic stretches of the Animas river. The rapids in the spring are excellent class 3 and are perfect for adventure sealers and still safe for beginners. They also offer access to class 4 and 5 rapids, which are not safe for beginners and have swimming requirements etc, but this is a separate trip and also a great opportunity. The staff was great and my son daughter and I highly recommend. The rapids do drop down a level in the summer because of decreased water flow, so be aware and if you prefer less sport and a more leisurely run or have small children plan accordingly.Written September 10, 2024
- VictoriaLynn590 contributionsDurango, Colorado rafting tripWe had the very best time with mountain water rafting. My husband and I are both at our 60s and he is apprehensive about water activities having survived in air drowning in his youth. This rafting trip was perfect. Just enough white water to get that adrenaline rush but very safe and non-threatening The guides were great. I highly recommend this outfitWritten September 4, 2024
- edgar-Y-conrad0 contributionsMWR & AC KICKS A$$My Son Conrad and I had an amazing rafting experience with our guides Steve & Axel - non rushed, informative; they even took us farther down river we were having so much fun.

- S2481VOkimt0 contributionsAnimas River ClassicWe did the Animas River Classic and had an amazing time. Shae was great. She was very business like with her instructions on what to do but when we actually started the trip, was an absolute delight along with Shiloh, who was our “rescue person”. Shae was very personable and knowledgeable of things along the way. We even saw a buck laying up on an island watching us go by. Would definitely do again and highly recommend White Water Rafting.Written August 30, 2024

Upon meeting our guide, Neil, I knew we were in for a treat. He was quite knowledgable about the park, was willing to address all our questions. Neil went out of his way to make us have a tremendous experience. Finally, Neil is a retired photographer. During our time together, he took individuals and of the group. Later in the evening, we received the pictures he took of us. The photographs will only add to our memories of our day together. Thank you, Neil.Written August 20, 2024

I made several calls to Mountain Waters Rafting & Adventure Company prior to booking our activities and had a positive experience each time. The staff were knowledgeable, patient and professional. I really appreciated being able to get a discount on a second activity AND split the activities between 2 separate days. With a large group of people between the ages of 9 to 88 years old, we definitely needed the flexibility! We ended up booking the rafting and zip lining tours. The water level was low in late July but our guide still made it a fun trip. Zip lining was fantastic - guides were energetic, engaged and the spans were longer/faster on the second half (12 spans). Both of these activities were enjoyed by the young and old, thanks to the staff and their experiences!

Thank you for doing my PR work for me!
Custom packaging of trips.
Discount for additional activities.
12 spans is way better than 6 spans when you zip line.
Cheers!

Our tour guide, Spicy Mike, made this adventure so much more enjoyable. We were able to go down the big rapids not once but twice, and we even swam in the river. It started to down pour at the last twenty min of the trip and my daughter was freezing in just her swim suit and PFD Mike offered her his wool sweater and it was much appreciated. The history of different sites like a bridge were highlights as well. Highly recommend this company if choosing to go rafting in the future. Worth every dollar!!!!

Great combo package - half day raft plus 6 ziplines for my son. The biplane place has a shaded rooftop patio with couches where parents can unwind after rafting while their kids zip!

Our guides were very aware of our safety. They explained every line before we zipped down it, which made me more comfortable. The last decision is jump or zip. I chose to jump off the edge, laughed all the way down. Thank you for a fun multi line zip experience. This was the best zip set up I have been on.

I choose to jump on the last one too! Glad you enjoyed zip lining through our Ponderosa forest just a mile from downtown Durango, how cool, right? Thank you for the review.

We had read about Atlas the rafting Akita from other reviews so we booked our trip. We requested Atlas at the time we booked our trip and when we arrived he was waiting for us. My family truly enjoyed rafting with Atlas and our guide Beau who did a great job. As we rafted down the river Beau provided us with lots of great information on the area. We also booked the zip line package which was a great time.

We have 2 families coming around July 11th, each w 3 members. One person is 17 but has cerebral palsy. She can walk with assistance and also has a portable walker on which she can sit and be pushed. She's very adventurous! I have no doubt she'd love the rafting portion. Do you think there's any way she could do the ziplining? I know she'd love to. Just unsure of getting her up the platforms.
