Inflatable Kayak Tours
Experience a fun and exciting adventure down the Animas River with a guided tour on our inflatable kayaks!
About This Tour
🚣 Paddle your own path down the Animas River
Ready to ditch the raft and take control? Our Durango Ultimate Inflatable Kayak Adventure puts you in your own boat for a splash and dash journey through the heart of Durango. This thrilling small-group experience features solo inflatable kayaks (also called duckies). Follow our rafts down the Animas River.
You’ll start off in calm, flat water to learn the basics, then gradually take on Class I and II rapids, with an optional Class III drop at the end for those feeling confident. All gear is provided, including your helmet, PFD.
This is not a float-and-relax kind of ride. It’s a hands-on, high-energy adventure designed for active guests who want more control, more splash, and more independence than traditional rafting. Not ideal for first-timers, but perfect for fit adventurers looking to level up their river experience.
