The Mountain Waters Rafting people were great and collaborative at making our little rafting experience a great time. Although water were shallow because of a dry summer, they made sure we had a fun rafting time. They are very cautious with people, make sure everyone is part of the fun.

Keeping it safe and fun despite record setting low river levels has been the challenge and the goal this summer. I think we succeeded thanks to the awesome crew in the office and to the guides on the river. Thank you for the review, Cheers!

My husband and I wanted to find a family-friendly rafting experience for us and our daughters (6 & 4 years old), and Mountain Waters Rafting did a great job of helping us! We booked a 2-hour trip online and within a few minutes of my booking, I received a call from the company confirming our trip and checking if we had any questions. The next morning, we met our guides, Paddy, Emily and Trevor, and driver, Frank at the company's booth. After a short bus ride and a comprehensive safety talk, we were in the water. Paddy took good care of my girls and I in the raft and my husband had fun paddling after us in a ducky (inflatable kayak). Even with the low water conditions, we had a memorable trip, especially when we took the raft "surfing" in the whitewater park! Thanks, Mountain Waters Rafting!

Your experience and this kind of review is why we have decided to keep operating despite the very low water conditions on the Animas River this year. Thank you, Cheers!

Our family had a great time on the 4 hour morning trip. Walker was our guide, and did a great job. Our 6, 7, and 9 year old all had a really great time.
