- reg140fgr0 contributionsJeep TourOnce off the main road the ride could be slow and very bumpy at times. There are some wonderful views of the valley below. After a 3000 ft. climb you are treated to a scenic view of the surrounding mountains. Our guide Nathan provided some interesting facts and history of the area.Written 6 October 2024
- bbxrt1230 contributionsDo itWe had a fantastic time. This is something you should do on your vacation. It was a great little jeep ride. We did the 2 1/2 hours. It wasn’t too long. We saw beautiful waterfalls. I would say definitely do this. Our quiet was very pleasant. His name is Tyler. We met amazing people on our jeep tour and we had a blast. Definitely a great event for your money.Written 24 September 2024
- K6128EIdianar0 contributionsFabulous trip to Mesa VerdeExcellent trip with Mike our tour guide. Mike was very experienced and knowledgeable. Customized the trip to specific interest s. Durango River tours was very professional in assisting throughout. Highly recommend this wonderful tour.Written 10 September 2024
- Raeann D0 contributionsGreat Tour!La Plata Canyon was gorgeous! The jeep tour allowed us to fully enjoy the views and take photos without having to also navigate the steep terrain. The top of the 4x4 trail was breathtaking, and definitely not something we could have climbed in our personal vehicle. The tour stops to allow a short hike to a beautiful waterfall that is exclusive to this company. Tyler, our guide, was knowledgeable and entertaining.Written 13 August 2024
- Maggie K0 contributionsViews that few people get to seeWe enjoyed our trio up the mountain. The jeep was very clean and our driver/guide was personable, accommodating and knowledgeable. We were the only two people on the tour so had lots of time to talk to him. The scenery was beautiful! One word of caution- the road up the mountain is very rough and it tosses you around, so it's not for folks with back or neck issues.Written 7 August 2024
- Relax6544320 contributionsFun in La Plata CanyonWe had a great time! We loved that the roads were rough and it added to the flavor of the experience. The scenery was stelar. We had delightful trip mates Hayden was a knowledgeable guide. All in all, a great afternoon!!Written 2 August 2024

- 408jerih0 contributionsA Trip Up La Plata CanyonThe 4 hour jeep tour to through La Plata Canyon was amazing. Our guide Tyler gave us so much information and showed us several beautiful waterfalls. He took pictures of our group whenever we wanted. This was such a great experience for all 6 of us!!🤩Written 25 July 2024
- SarahA9570 contributionsPick this company for your raft trip in Durango!We had SUCH a great time! Everyone working there, from the ladies checking us in to the bus driver to our guide was so friendly and knowledgeable. They explain everything very thoroughly and walk you through everything you need to feel safe and comfortable. Our guide, Zachary, was fantastic. He was so friendly, told lots of great stories, and answered all our questions. The views are amazing, and even though the river was fairly low, we still had a great time. Perfect for beginner rafters!Written 23 July 2024
- H9685BXrichardz0 contributionsA great morning- nice guide and wonderful scenery.The guide was great. We got great photos. Fun time. One caveat - if you have a bad back or neck, I would not recommend because the jeep ride was very bumpy.Written 22 July 2024
- Footprints7888210 contributionsGreat experienceOur guide Lars made the experience really fun. He was very knowledgeable and kind. The water was calm the weather was perfect. Another guide Loren lended a helping hand getting up to the break area. Highly recommend this experienceWritten 18 July 2024
- billa9460 contributionsPerfect 1st Time White Water RunAwesome experience. Nevin, Zach, Rachell, Aimee & Kelly were all fabulous. First time rapid ride for us, not the last with this group. Thanks for a great day.Written 14 July 2024
- clarencees20240 contributionsOff the Charts Amazing!!The booking experience was top-notch. I’m not for sure who it was that helped R us with the reservation even when the time had to be adjusted, but she was so positive and pleasant and explained everything in detail. Then we were guided by Hayden who was just off the charts amazing and took the time to explain everything along the route. The opportunities that he took at all the different waterfalls was amazing. I love the fact that the owner of the company bought property and that this company has the only access to the most amazing waterfall. If you don’t book an experience with this company, you are absolutely losing out! Next trip, we will book a guided river whitewater trip! The only thing is I wish is that they had 10 stars to give instead of just 5.. Thank you Hayden for making the experience so enjoyable and positive!Written 5 July 2024
- H8735GYamys0 contributionsHighly recommend!Aimee was our guide and she was fantastic!!! We brought our three kids, ages 11, 9, and 7, and they did great! The Splash and Dash is perfect for first timers and kids. Great rafting company, great guides, great people. We felt very safe and had an awesome time.Written 30 June 2024
- vickiesmoot0 contributionsCrammed too many people into the rafts. Very disappointed. Do not recommend.They put way too many people onto each raft. There's not even room for your legs to fit between the tubes. People were falling into our laps and leaning on us which was awkward, uncomfortable, made it so you can't paddle, and it was just not at all what I was wanting. This company is all about money and not about a good experience for the guests. They should remove a full tube from the raft and have less people. Very disappointed and I would not recommend this company.Written 30 June 2024

Would recommend this tour. Mike, our guide, was very knowledgeable and a great driver also. One thing to consider is that this tour is physically challenging. But, oh so worth it!
