We had a great time with Axel! We had our 5yr old with us and he was great with including him in the fun! I wasn’t sure how he would do but he loved it and I highly recommend it for an adventurous kid. They were careful and took him out to walk around the class III rapids and then he got back in the raft with us. Most of the ride is pretty calm but you do get wet. Since it was 96 the day we went it was perfect to get wet. We had very little downtime and spent most of it on the river which was perfect. Highly recommend!

Lots of river trips require a good amount of transportation time but the Animas River is right in the heart of Durango so as you say, "very little downtime", thank you for the review!

We were a family of 8, from 11 year old twins to a 77 year old grandma and everything in between. We had the BEST guide, Elsa. She read the River and made the experience amazing. The entire experience was great! I would recommend this company 💯
