Needleton section of Upper Animas - perfect day! - Amazing day on the Needleton section of the Upper Animas River! Water was high, flow was fast, air temp was hot which made the chilly water feel great, our guide David was fun, skilled & knowledgeable, and rest of the crew - Nickle, Pete, Michael & Brianna were awesome. Our family of 4 (including 16 & 18yr olds), all of whom had prior rafting experience, had the perfect adventure-filled day and felt totally safe with David and team. Appreciated prepping with the day before on-water orientation and dip in the cold water. Top notch operation!

A great day on the Animas river - Great day - it was even better than expected because it was effectively a private trip with only the two of us. Andy and Keena were awesome guides with loads of knowledge and tales to tell.

Adventure Day with Haymo/Lillian is the Best! - Had an awesome day with Haymo and Lillian on the river! They were very patient with our boys at the rapids and taught them some great river safety tips.
Highly recommend this at its customized to whatever you want to do for the day.

Family 5 hour trip through the rapids park. We had a great time with David as our guide. Surfing was a new experience - Great service and a really fun ride down the rapids. Very family friendly with a 7, 10 and 12 year old who all had a blast. And the food included at Grassfeed was excellent!!

Louisianans on the River - Just wanted to drop a line for the team at Mountain Water Rafting (Durango Rafting) and Adventure. We took a trip with Taylor (BAMA) and had a tremendous time. The water was perfect the day we went and everyone in our group had a great time. Bama was informative and a ton of fun to be around. He made the trip enjoyable for our whole family (young and old). Highly recommend booking with this company.

Literally favorite part of our trip - Axel, Hannah, Blane, and Trevor were absolutely amazing! My friends and I had the best experience. Axel was our guide and did a phenomenal job at managing our boat and giving knowledge along with jokes. We literally couldn’t have had a better guide. Hey Axel thank you for giving us the time of our life! Definitely a story to tell!!

Highlight of our Colorado trip! - The highlight of our trip! Anna was our guide! She is a pro! Sense of humor and she made this the greatest experience for everyone on the raft! Our first time on a raft trip and I would definitely recommend it especially if Anna is your guide!

Fun for adults and kids! - What a fun and memorable afternoon!! This was a first for everyone in our family, ranging from my husband and I down to our three kids, ages 10, 7, and 4. We could not have had a better time, and that was in large part to our guide Axel. He made it so fun, kept us entertained and laughing, and even shared some interesting facts about local landmarks and history. We also want to give a shoutout to Lillian, who was in the safety raft and kept us out of trouble! The river was low (we were told) and while there were plenty of calm areas, there was also lots of excitement. We would absolutely do it again!

Had a blast with Dory - We had a great day in early June with Mountain Waters rafting! It was a chilly day, but they had wet suits for rent that helped. Our family of 5 had a great time with Dory, she was a joy to float with and she nailed "surfing" the raft at the white water park! Wish her well for the summer and for all the care she provides to her fellow guides!
