Don was an excellent guide. Very accommodating, knowledgeable. Made us feel comfortable and safe. We took the short trip because of our of town family had no previous rafting experience. They had a blast. Next time we'll go longer. Mild to Wild will be our choice.

We had such a great time rafting. My boys (11 & 8) really enjoyed the class 2 rapids. We let them out to watch when the adults were going over the Smeltzer (class 3) rapids. This was the most fun trip our family has had in a long time. I would recommend this to everyone. Our guide Alex made the trip SO MUCH FUN!!

My special lady friend, 13 year old son, and I went on a 1/2 day rafting trip on the lower Animus with Bryce and had a great time! Bryce identified some birds for us, and helped steer us over some of the bumpiest rapids, to keep the 13 year old happy. Gotta say, I liked that too. Very professional, great to chat with, and overall a great guide. Thanks, Bryce!
