1/4 Day Family Rafting In Durango

Rafting the Lower Animas River is an absolute must as a visitor or a local! Everyone loves this trip for its easy accessibility, picturesque scenery and rollicking rapids. This trip offers a perfect mix of excitement and time to enjoy the sites along the way.

You'll bound through plenty of Class II and one Class III rapid. 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, and you're welcome to paddle with them or just sit back and relax. They'll share the history and fun stories about the area, adding fascinating insights to Durango wild days of yore.

All trips come with a safety orientation and paddling instructions from our experienced and fun-loving river guides.

Stop At: Mild to Wild Rafting and Jeep Tours, 50 Animas View Dr, Durango, CO 81301-8904

Meet us at our Durango Office and suit up for the river! You'll meet your guides and get fitted for a life jacket, helmet, and other river getup if needed (wetsuits or splash jackets 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 Lower Animas River for an hour.

In between the calm sections and time to chat with your guide, we'll splash through plenty of Class II and one Class III rapid as we paddle downstream.

Class II rapids are "fun and friendly" rolling over the front of the bow and splashing those at the front of the boat. Class III rapids 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.

After an hour of fun, we'll take out, load up the boats and shuttle you back to our Durango Office.
