Our family of 4 had a great time with our river guide Sydney. She was awesome! This offering was a great introduction to whitewater rafting for our 8 and 12 year olds. Considering the water was 49 degrees a little more than an hour on the river was enough for our cold feet! From sign-up to transport to river adventure personnel everyone was friendly and professional. Highly recommend this trip down the Animas River!

My family had a wonderful time on the "Quarter Day" trip. Our guide Mike was wonderful and went out of his way to make my 8 year old son's experience even more memorable by letting him sit "bull style" on the front of the boat thru the rapids. We all had a great time. Thank you.

Riding the Bull is a time honored rafting tradition that I'm glad your son got to experience. Thank you for the review!

We had originally booked a four hour trip, but the river was high and fast so they could not do a family friendly version of that. They communicated via both email and phone and rebooked us for the shorter trip. They refunded us automatically without me having to do anything. Our guides, Carlos and Lucas, were great. It was enjoyable for all of us.

I'm sure all companies change a trip for safety reasons, but we do make an extra effort to communicate that ahead of time to avoid last minute surprises. The office staff works very hard to do that and appreciates your mentioning it, thank you.
