Six of us went on a private 4-hour lower Animas trip and had a blast. Karen was our guide and she did incredible leading all of us first timers. We got stuck a few times on some rocks, but we bounced and paddled our way over them. So glad we did this. Definitely will be back and will bring the kids.

It was a good ride that was well organized. The TL was very knowledgeable and kept things lite and people involved. I would definitely do it again, just a little faster.

We had an amazing time on our half day trip. Ryan was a fantastic guide and very funny. He made the trip entertaining and he was very knowledgeable. I would definitely raft here again. My kids are already asking to do a more adventurous raft tour next time!
