Lower Animas River Description:

Relax and enjoy a different view of historic Durango as you bounce through fun-filled rapids like "Smelter", "Sawmill", "Santa Rita" and "Pinball". Your guide will share history of the region and stories of local traditions. This popular river rafting trip through Durango on the Animas River is enjoyed by families, reunions, groups, first timers and rafting/inflatable kayak veterans alike. No experience is necessary; we provide all you need including safety orientation and instruction.

For those who want to be in control of their own destiny and increase the level of adventure, we offer inflatable kayaks. Inflatable kayaks offer the best of both worlds: the stability of a raft and maneuverability of a kayak. Paddle, spin and surf your way down the Animas River in your own craft, under the leadership of an instructional guide. Again, no prior experience is necessary.

For those wanting higher adventure, but not wanting to be in control of their own destiny, we offer Adventure Boat Option! We use smaller boats (the smaller the boat, the bigger the wave!) so the waves and rapids seem bigger in a smaller boat. We run these as all paddle boats which steps the level of adventure up and the guides get to go for the more aggressive lines. When the river is too high for inflatable kayaks, we switch the kayakers to this option. This can be booked as an option as well.
