Cara was amazing. Best guide to have if you're nervous at all, hands down. Axel was funny, informative, and would also be a great guide. Cara can calm the worst of nerves. She is knowledgeable, fun, and very good at rafting. We booked in advance and there was a storm that luckily subsided literally seconds before our departure. But important to note that this trip runs rain or shine and is non refundable after I think it's 24 hours. We had a blast. We are definitely planning on using Mountain Waters again. We will be requesting Cara also.

We had a great time. Family of 5 with 3 kiddos under 12. Axel was our boat guide and trip leader. He was fantastic with the kids. We all had a blast and it was probably the highlight of our week in Durango.

Great river run with our 4 yr old. The river was high and we didn’t have to dodge many rocks . Guides Hannah and Karen and our bus driver Trevor were all very knowledgeable and we for sure felt safe with them. Great company!

The kids had a great time. It was their first experience rafting, and they felt safe and well prepared for the event. The guides were helpful. Thank you for a fun family experience. (I didn't go, but my friend took them, and this is what I heard back from the group)

I had a 17 hour layover in Durango and ended up doing this kayaking trip. I was very happy with my choice! They take care of everything for you and the water for kayaking wasn’t too boring and wasn’t too scary…just right! The guides are funny and do a great job. If you’re an introvert like me, then the solo kayak gives you plenty of alone time but still “with” the guide and groups in the rafts. The water is refreshing to get in on a hot day as well. It was the perfect half day adventure and beautiful views of Durango’s nature and the Animas River. A big buck in velvet even came down to drink from the river while we went by. Just beautiful.

Fantastic time on the river with family. The guides were fantastic and kept it fun. Would highly recommend!

Though the water was not at a level to produce intense rapids, the experience was an absolute blast - partly because KINA was our guide and she is wonderfully funny and allowed some of us to enjoy our very lively humor on the raft. The other rafts were far quieter than ours and … until we got close to them, dryer.😄 We enjoyed downpours that cooled us off and lots of beauty all around. I’d highly recommend this for families.

Perfect family trip! We had an easy start to get used to the boat and commands, then progressed down the river to eventually tackle some class 3 rapids…backwards! Jesse our guide was the absolute best! Ask him to tell his whale joke.

Great adventure! Shea was a great guide. So pleasant and friendly. She answered all our questions about the river, wildlife, etc.
