Seventeen years ago, I spent one night in Durango and always regretted not kayaking the river. It remained a small item on my bucket list, and today—17 years later—I finally did it. It was absolutely worth the wait. I truly enjoyed it. This was only my second time kayaking on a whitewater river (I've done sea kayaking before), and it was a fantastic experience. Everything was very well organized, the whole team was friendly, professional, and made the experience enjoyable. Greetings from the Netherlands!

My grandson and I had an incredible time today with our river adventure. We started out on the kayaks and our guide Kayla was so kind and patient. After I flipped over they promptly offered to put me in a raft and I accepted! Sam was the guide on the raft and he was fun and patient as well. It was actually nice to have done the kayak and the raft on one trip - two different experiences. To make it better we had a great group of other guests and it was all around a 5 star experience.

Noah was an awesome guide. Laid back but totally in control. Great group of guides across the board.
