Our family had the best time on this excursion! Zach was awesome with planning and organizing! Kelsey was a huge help checking us in, she is so sweet and really on top of things! Jeb was the absolute best guide! We have a son with autism that was not thrilled about rafting and to say that Jeb had so much patience with him is an understatement! Jeb was amazing! He is now saying he wants to go back and visit Jeb again! We had a great experience and were very impressed by how organized this company is. It is obvious that great care goes into hiring the very best and making sure customers are treated very well and have the best time! Highly recommend using them to plan out your Durango vacation!

We had an awesome time on our 1/2 day trip down the Animas! Our guide, Jackson, was great- he made sure everyone felt safe and had fun, and he was was super knowledgeable about the river and the surrounding area, which made the trip even better. The rapids were big enough to have a lot of fun while still feeling safe. Would definitely do this again with this company!
