Reviews
Anna was our guide. She was so friendly and easy while making sure we were prepared and understood in the moment what to do. The whole team was great, each guide and the office staff. They went above and beyond for everyone to have great experience!! We wished we could’ve stayed out longer…next time.
Everything was seamless and AWESOME!! We did the mild rafting with some level 2&3’s. Enough to get us a wet and test the nerves a bit. They also set up a “slide” (overturned a raft and propped it on a rock) to let us and other rafters, slide down it into a deep pool of the river. Guides were very experienced and made the experience even better. Blake was the man!! We tipped but not sure if anyone else did in our group. Please, bring some extra $$ for these guides. They deserve it!
My son Dawson and I did the 3/4 day trip of the Lower Animas river and it was great. Our rafting guide was Mikayla and she was awesome!
