Durango Rivertrippers delivers consistently excellent tours thanks to guides who clearly love what they do. Kelly, Denise, and Russ get mentioned by name repeatedly for their deep knowledge of local history, geology, and archaeology. They're patient, friendly, and go the extra mile—taking group photos, adjusting pace for slower walkers, and handling unexpected situations like illness or heavy rain with professionalism. The jeep tours to waterfalls are popular, with families calling them the most memorable part of multi-day Durango trips. What stands out is how guides share fascinating details you'd never discover on your own, from geological formations to stories about ancestral Puebloan peoples. The booking staff also earns praise for being helpful and accommodating when plans change. Multiple families agree this is an absolute must-do experience, with beautiful scenery and educational content that appeals to all ages. The combination of stunning views and genuinely engaging guides creates something special.
We had a wonderful time on our La Plata Canyon jeep adventure today! Our guide Leroy was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and made our entire trip so much fun. We were thankful to him for taking all our family photos for us! The scenery was breathtaking, and we got to experience some great picture opportunities. We learned so much about the area while enjoying an exciting ride filled with beautiful and unforgettable memories.
