The crew was friendly and helpful from start to finish. They were punctual and professional. A huge shout out to Morgan for speaking Lincolns language and being one of the greatest guides! She made sure our 7 and 5 year old felt safe at all times and even offered her rain jacket when they were cold. (It is a river in the mountains so cold is expected) Knowledgeable guides who are there to make your experience exciting because they love what they do! Make sure you know some "dad jokes"! Highly recommend!

We had a blast rafting down the Animas! Our guide, Stew, was fantastic- professional and witty. Stew gave us a perfect Colorado adventure! We can’t wait to come back!

Our family (all adults) braved it on kayaks. It was a thrilling experience. Our guide was informative and patient.
