Q&A
A: Yes, for the 1/2 day rafting trip on the Animas River, kids need to be at least 6 years old. Parents should check with the guides if they have younger kids, as sometimes exceptions can be made depending on water conditions. Just make sure everyone is comfortable in the water!
A: I'd recommend wearing quick-drying clothes like a swimsuit and a rash guard. Don't forget sunscreen and a hat since you'll be out in the sun a lot. Water shoes or sandals are great too, just make sure they strap on your feet! You might get wet, so be prepared.
A: If the weather looks bad, the rafting company will contact you to discuss options. They may reschedule or offer a full refund if conditions aren't safe. It's a good idea to check their policy ahead of time just in case!

Thinking about gifting the Durango rafting experience - any thoughts?
I'm looking into gifting the 1/2 day rafting trip on the Animas River for my sister's birthday. I've seen great reviews about Colorado Outback Adventures. It sounds like a fun way to spend the day, plus they provide snacks and water. Has anyone done this? What was the experience like?
Rafting in Durango - Fun or Frightening?
