Paddling through a current. The Sunshine and interesting conversations with Eric the guide. He’s fun but professional. We where in good hands. Jake was our look out raft and expertly handled the River.

This was a thoroughly enjoyable rafting trip, and good for families and those who want a calmer rafting experience. Our guide was friendly and communicative, and it was a lot of fun. I would highly recommend it for anyone wanting to raft down the beautiful Animas River.

Great family fun! Our guide, Doug, was AMAZING!!! We went at the end of the season so the river was much calmer. I could see this being less thrilling for adrenaline junkies (my 7 year old seems to be one as he wanted Class III rapids the entire time), but my 5 year old preferred the smaller ones as did my 73 year old mother. Doug, our guide, was great. He was knowledgeable, funny, conversational and kind. In fact, I feel terrible because I don't think we tipped him enough because I had no idea how much we should so hopefully this review will get him some bonus points!!! He deserves them!!! Anyway, we definitely recommend the company and the trip, especially for a family outing with varied ages and abilities, but I feel confident that our guide would have kept us moving a long no matter the conditions. He had a boat of 5 people with limited physical help if we are being honest - three adults (an active 73, two 36 year olds in fairly good shape), a confident 7 year old and a 5 year old that didn't paddle; and Doug kept us moving along. They are pretty easy to spot, but they are located in the Alberton's parking lot if you are looking for them!

The "tip your guide" review is not surprisingly a guide favorite! Thank you for the kind review and recommendation.
