Jeremy was an exceptional guide with a great knowledge of rafting. He also has a wonderful personality and since of humor. We felt very safe (my first time and my son's second time) on our rafting trip and had a great time! Can't wait to do it again.

It was an excellent experience! The Animas River was a very nice temperature in the summer heat. The rapids were fun but not too intense, but it was a great start for someone who had never been rafting before (like me!). Next time I’ll have to do some Upper Animas River rafting with Mild to Wild for some of the more intense rapids!

This is a great rafting experience for beginners and parents with younger kids. A majority of the rafting was on small rapids with short passes through some larger sections. It gives the smaller kids a chance to get comfortable in the raft before you hit those sections. By the time we got to the class 3 rapids we were all prepared and excited to hit it. Our guide Jermey was awesome. He kept us entertained and of course safe throughout our adventure. I highly recommend the water guns. We had quite a few water wars with the other rafts on our trip.
