Our group included my 12 and 14 year old daughters and my 79 year old mother-in-law. She always wanted to try it and everyone else thought it was crazy to bring her along. Matt Riggins was very polite and helpful to her and kept my girls entertained with his silly jokes. We all had a great time! We felt safe and enjoyed it so much that we were sad that we only did the economy trip.
Yet another reviewer lamenting choosing the shorter raft trip. We hear it everyday, and as you can see it doesn't matter if you are young or old, more river time is always the right choice! Thank you for letting everyone know amorton100, Cheers!

Family of four felt extremely safe and comfortable with our guide Edith. From our first meeting with Edith, we had no anxiety about the river or the tour group. Thank you ever so much for the great time Edith. This was one of the best adventure side trips we took when touring Colorado.
One of the best raft trips in a state full of great raft trips. Ride the Historic Durango & Silverton Narrow Gauge Railroad into the high country of the San Juan Mountains and raft the mighty Level 4 Upper Animas River for the day. Edith and the crew are focused on your safety so you can focus on the river and having fun. It's great to hear that your trip with Mountain Waters Rafting was one of the best adventures you had touring Colorado, thank you!
We did the 2 hour tour which is mild on the big rafts but more adventurous on the ducky kayaks even though you all go down together, great way to go with a big group with different levels of desired excitement. Cory, Conner and Matt we're awesome.
It is inflatable kayak, aka, "ducky" season! Pilot your own craft for more excitement and challenge on any of our family friendly trips down the Animas River through Durango. Your group will be on the same trip going down the river together whether you choose to be in a raft or ducky, Cheers!
We had a great morning rafting with Beau. He did a great job engaging our grandchildren on their first white water adventure. Definitely recommend Mountain White Rafting. Make sure to ask for Beau
I think all the guides at Mountain Waters Rafting are great at engaging the children on their trips because the river itself just naturally brings out the wonder and excitement of the natural world. Everyone feels it, all three generations, its just a great way to spend time with family and friends. Thank you for the review Amy!
This was our 37th wedding anniversary and decided to spend part of the day with Mountain Waters Rafting, we went with them earlier when the water was lower and had a great time, this year the water was a lot higher and we had a blast. This is a blast for everyone, little to old. If you have a chance don't miss this ride, the guides are the best in the area, we had Edith and she was great.
Happy anniversary and thank you for spending it with Mountain Waters Rafting! High water in May and June or lower water in July and August are very different but always very fun. For those visiting during low water we recommend the Inflatable Kayak, aka, the "Ducky." With some paddling instruction and a ducky specific safety orientation this craft is appropriate for beginners with a need for more challenge and excitement on the family friendly Animas River in Durango. Thank you for the review!
