5.00We arrived early for our scheduled trip and the staff was great with starting early for us. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. It was just us two on the raft with our guide, Josh, and we had such a fun time. Josh was very personable and knowledgeable about the area. He gave a great recommendation for a place to eat in Durango when we were done, and it was delicious. (RPGS) We didn't expect the rapids to be great as we knew the water levels were low, but we knew that when we booked the trip. We had a good time anyway. Josh only had to get out to push us 2-3 times, and it was still an adventure regardless. This time of year would be great to take younger kids on a rafting trip, plus since it wasn't so rough I was able to take my camera with me (my choice) and I got some great pictures of the river. We even saw a baby bear running along the river bank! Great memories!!
Fun for the whole family.

5.00Lots of fun! We went with family including 2 small boys age 5 & 7 and we all had fun. Water levels are low as it’s near the end of the season but our guide made it fun and the kids already want to go again.
Fun, chill adventure for all ages

5.00We had a great time with Pinkey and Hailee! Great tour guides even with low water. We had a blast. Our fam of 9 was split 6 and 3 and they kept us near enough to chat the whole time.

5.00Fun for the whole family no matter the age. Landen does a great job. Nobody went for a involuntary swim. Next time we will book a longer trip.
Great family times

5.00Awesome experience for first timers. “Pinky” our guide was very knowledgeable and experienced. Dude could run the river blindfolded even with all the other mild to mediocre white and yellow boats in his way! We will absolutely be coming back! Thanks COA!
Very Easy and Fun

5.00Justin was our guide and was great! Worked hard so we didn't have to. Was very friendly and made the trip more fun. We went at the end of June. The water was easy and I went with my 16 year old daughter but would be no problem to take very young kids. Had a great time but would probably do again only if earlier in the season when water is higher as there was very little rapids and slow moving water. Justin and the crew working there were fantastic though!
Gorgeous views and a wonderful experience!

5.00This was my first time white water rafting and it was so much fun! The beauty of the river and mountains was spectacular and the rapids were fun without being scary. Our guide, Jacob, was fantastic and shared fascinating historical tidbits about the bridges and mountains and the general area as we went down the river.
Fun time with the family!
