Great experience for the entire family. We took a 9, 7 and 5 year old and had a total blast. We thought it might be too much for the 5 year old, but it was great. The 3 hours trip would have been too long, so we were glad we did the 1 hour economy trip. We also rented the water guns for $5. They had a total blast with the water guns, go figure. Excellent company and tour guide. Thank you so much!

This really is a great company! We did a half day Animas River trip with our 8 year old. It really had the feel of a family owned company who genuinely love what they do - staff seemed so cohesive and really worked together and the vibe was awesome. We had a great time and our guide Lauren was skilled and really sweet. Our 8 year old left saying she wanted to be a river guide someday! We were really impressed with the COVID safety practices and they were so organized. There were many hand sanitizing stations, masks required in all indoor spaces, a staff person as you board the shuttle bus making sure everyone had a mask on and squirting hand sanitizer on each passenger's hands. They sanitized all life vests, oars, etc. between each use. This company is the real deal, we highly recommend them!

We did the half day rafting trip on the lower animas and my husband and son kayaked it beside us. We had so much fun with our guide Liam, he did the bulk of the work and pointed out interesting sights and facts along the way. My son and husband enjoyed a little more action kayaking alongside us with their guide Colette. It was a great day on the river!
