Awesome group of close knit guides that have obvious love for not only the river and mountains but for one another. Just a really cool group of people that make this so worth every dollar. Thanks to our guide, Pete, for making our half day trip so enjoyable and memorable with our two teenage kids. Mountain Waters Rafting Co truly put safety first and with the Animas running high in mid July the lower rapids are action packed. The 4 hour trip on the lower Animas is great for families. We will be back soon for the upper Animas full day and possible 2-day trip...Request Pete if he is around! Best of the Best!!

Great half day raft trip. Family & middle aged friendly. Nicole was a great guide. Robert helped with the floatation devices. The other guides were knowledgeable and friendly.

We had a great time with our guide Aidan. He was so friendly, knowledgable, fun, responsible and calm. When the lady in a raft ahead of us fell out he was on it without a blink. When our long 15 foot paddle broke, no big deal. We really enjoyed his honesty and openness and teaching to my 5 boys. The river was great and it left us wishing we booked the all day trip.

I've been wondering what happened to that 15 foot paddle. And the lady in the raft ahead of you. Just kidding! A river is a living force and having top notch guides like Aidan are what keep a potentially exciting incident a "no big deal." Thank you for the review!
