We had so much fun! Our raft guide Brianna was the best. She literally pulled my daughter out of the water! So strong and did a great job! Please give her rookie of the year!
Great family fun!

We went rafting with our 4 kids (age 4-11) and had a great experience. Dory was amazing with our kids and helped them feel safe. It made our experience so much more enjoyable. All the staff were wonderful and wed highly recommend rafting with them.
Amazing!!!!

They didn't even tell viator that they calcelled the event. Claimed to me i would get a refund from viator in one to two months. The issue only got resolved once I called viator. Despite the fact that this rafting company claimed to me they would call viator to issue a refund on my behalf.
Response from Host , Jun 2020
I am sorry to hear your frustration but our records show many attempts to contact you. Perhaps you were travelling? We work very closely with Viator and are a top rated provider for them. For transparency so others can judge for themselves I am posting the digital transaction record below:
Saturday night at 7:46 pm you booked a raft trip.
Monday morning we called to tell you the trip was tentative due to COVID-19 restrictions as we waited to hear from our local authorities.
Wednesday we called to cancel with you and Viator.
Thursday someone from your party called to ad to the reservation. We informed them that it was cancelled and to please let you know since we hadn't been able to get through to you.
Sunday Viator confirmed the cancellation.
Mountain Waters Rafting welcomes constructive criticism but I do feel we are being blamed for something outside of our control. I think it is unfair to a staff who prides themselves on half a decade of excellent customer service together to get a review such as this.

We went rafting with the Mountain Rafting Co and had a wonderful time. We went on the 4 hour trip. We took our 11 year old grandson and 7 year old granddaughter with us. They had a fabulous time. The guides are more than fantastic. There was a group that had children a lot younger than ours. This is totally family friendly.. We even went on the Mesa Verde tour and had a wonderful time.
Excellent trip. Best part of our...

Just a wonderful overall experience! Rebecca was our guide. This was the second trip we have done with her we enjoy her so much! She was great personally, let a young girl sit on the bow and instructed her how to stay safe in that position, and chatted with the rest of us as we navigated the river!
We had lots of fun. The guides were...

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
