Overview

About This Tour

Due to limited dam releases, access to this magnificent river is only every few years.

If you’re looking for a fun whitewater rafting trip for the family or group, you’ll love cruising down the Dolores River on our day trips or multi-day rafting options. As one of America’s best rafting runs, ranking closely behind the Grand Canyon, you’ll have the opportunity to get up close and personal with Colorado’s nature and wildlife.

Start your rafting excursion with our Durango rafting guides as you float through the canyon admiring pink Navajo and red Wingate sandstone walls. Take in the natural beauty of the Anasazi ruins and petroglyphs as you witness a full spectrum of Colorado’s history in one of the Southwest’s best-kept secrets. Flow through the high country on one of our whitewater rafting trips!
