Why choose this Durango tour ?
Splash through Durango with an awesome river guide on the Lower Animas River! This adventure is an absolute must for visitors and locals alike.
Everyone loves this trip for its accessibility, picturesque scenery and rollicking rapids. It’s an adventure that offers a perfect mix of excitement and time to enjoy the sites along the way. We take rafters ages 4+!
Along the way you’ll bound through plenty of Class II rapids and an exciting Class III at Smelter Whitewater Park. Class II rapids are “fun and friendly,” rolling over the bow and dousing those at the front of the boat. Class III rapids are “wet and wild,” usually soaking everyone in the raft head to toe.
Our experienced and entertaining river guides will get you downstream while sharing plenty of stories and fascinating history about the area. You’re welcome to paddle with them or just sit back and relax
All trips come with a safety orientation and paddling instructions from the best river guides in Durango.

What makes Durango 3 Hour Whitewater Rafting Fun for All Levels a unique experience ?
Meet at our Durango Office and suit up for the river!
Your fun, knowledgeable and experienced river guides will get you fitted for a life jacket, helmet, and other river getup if needed (wetsuits when the weather/water is chilly).
We’ll then shuttle over to the river and have a quick safety orientation before heading out on the beautiful Animas River for an hour.
We’ll splash through plenty of refreshing Class II rapids, and one exciting Class III as we paddle downstream.
Class II rapids are “fun and friendly” splashing those at the front of the boat, while Class III are “wet and fun” soaking everyone head to toe.
Spring trips usually have higher flows with bigger splashes, while summer tends to have lower flows with more mild splashes. If you’re rafting later in the season, we’ll have some additional entertainment as we navigate between the rocks in the river!
After an hour of fun, we’ll take out, load up the boats and shuttle you back to our Durango Office.
