Our guide Erik made the trip very enjoyable. We would recommend this company for white water rafting and would return again. Our family had such a fun time and would return again. Even our teen daughter was a little hesitant, had a blast and a smile the entire time.

We recently had a great ride on the Animas River with our guide, Eric. It was a day of contrasts - 46 deg. water, rain, and HAIL! and we loved every minute. We were supplied free wetsuits that were much appreciated and rented the jackets that were much needed. There had been 3 inches of rain the day and night before our trip so the water was quite high and moving very fast. I cannot say enough about this rafting company and their family friendly trip. We appreciated their attention to safety as we put in to shore before the tougher rapids and the children under 11 yrs were off-loaded to walk with a company rep to a spot below the rapids. Our guide, Eric, was very good with our youngest (age 7) who had some doubts about the whole ride but soon was loving it. Eric was personable and fun and made the day extremely enjoyable. We'd definitely do another ride with Mountain Waters Rafting. Must give a shout-out to Harrison who gave our orientation. He missed his calling as a stand-up comedian!!
