The half day rafting trip down the Animas River was outstanding. Very family friendly, not too strenuous. Joe Bananas was an awesome guide. We’ll definitely do it again.

Our raft guide, Alana was great! We had such a fun time! The person that checked us in was not so great. She didn’t know what trip we were on while looking at our reservation. Then said she needed a credit card since we booked it through TripAdvisor. I had to go all the way back to where we were staying to get it then drive back. When I then gave it to you she said she didn’t need the actual card, only if we were buying something like water etc. Weird thing is I never said I wanted buy anything. Ugh! I started to just ask for a refund but decided to go on. Thank goodness for our raft guide! She changed it from grumpy to happy.
