Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for this kayaking experience?

A: Yes, the minimum age is usually around 12 years old for the inflatable kayak trips. However, younger kids can sometimes join if they’re with a parent or guardian. Just make sure they can handle some basic paddling and follow instructions. Safety is key!

Q: What happens if the weather is bad on the day of the trip?

A: Mountain Waters usually monitors weather conditions closely. If it’s dangerous, they’ll reschedule your trip at no extra cost. You can also call them ahead to check on conditions, which is what I did before gifting this experience to a friend!

Q: What’s the parking situation like at Durango for this kayaking trip?

A: Parking is free, which is awesome! You just park at their main location and they shuttle you to the river. Super convenient. I’ve done other experiences where parking was a hassle, but this was easy peasy.

Thinking of gifting the Durango Kayaking trip—any tips?

Hey everyone! I’m planning to get the Quarter Day Trip for my buddy’s birthday. He’s super adventurous, but he’s never been kayaking before. I just want to make sure it’s beginner-friendly. Also, do we need to bring our own gear? Thanks for any tips!

Just did the Quarter Day Kayaking trip—WOW!

I went on the kayaking trip last weekend, and it was an absolute blast! The guides were super friendly and helpful, and the Class III rapids were thrilling. If you’re considering it, definitely go for it! Just make sure to wear a bathing suit or something comfy. Can’t wait to go again!
