Durango Rivertrippers & Adventure Tours

Last minute call to reserve a spot for 2 adults and a 11 year old. Did the 4 hour tour and it
was just AWESOME. Our guide, Barrie, was the BEST.

These guys are awesome! The whole team — from the person that answers the phone, to the girl that drives the van to drop you off/​pick you up, and last but not least the rafting guide.
So here is summary of my experience:
Called these guys with a last minute reservation for my family (wife and 3 kids ages 9, 11, 15).
Took us out on a 4 hour rafting trip; gave us an overview of all the relevant landmarks and history of events in the area.
The rafting guide took extra care to ensure the younger kids were safe in the boat; he added some extra «handles» in the boat.

The Durango Rivertrippers is probably the most professional tour establishments in Durango. If you walk around Main St. you will see a few kiosk selling rafting tours and see even more in the Durango tourism brochures. When we called to inquire about the times, availability and prices they had the best prices and answered all our questions over the phone. They do give a 10% discount for parties over 10+ and if you are a UnilocalLER– check in and get a free H2o.
The water was extremely high at the time we were in Durango… everyone tells us the highest they have seen it in over 5 yrs. So we waited a week when it came down a little. I will tell you we had our 12 year with us and thank goodness they didn’t take us to the upper Animas (through downtown) the rapids there were challenging and at the time several rafts tip over. So, we did the 2 hour on the lower Animas and it was absolutely beautiful and so much fun! Our guide Christian was absolutely awesome, it was Christian and our family of 3. He was knowledgeable, had a great personality and ready for fun!
Great crew at the Durango Rivertrippers, Great Fun and a great experience!

We had a group of six people and decided to do the 2 hour rafting trip. I had my 10 and 12 year old sons with us, and let me say, we had the most amazing experience!
From beginning to end, the staff was super pumped and so nice. They put us at ease and we were able to really enjoy our time. Our guide, Jesse, was very knowledgable and funny!
We’d definitely go with them again. It was truly an awesome experience.

Our group of seven, used D. R this past week while on vacation and had a great time. We did a raft as well as rented the kayaks. Although the river was super low, our guide Mike made the trip super enjoyable. Not only was he extremely professional he also told us about some great hikes in the area, that we explored and turned out to be one of my favorite experiences.

We looked at all the rafting companies in Durango that offered inflatable kayaks. We went with Durango Rivertrippers because they had the lowest price.
We had a great afternoon kayaking on the Animas. The staff was knowledgable and friendly and the trip was the perfect length for an afternoon activity.
