We had a blast! The entire process and trip was well-organized. Dylan, our guide, was so great with our kids. He made the entire day so fun and upbeat. He made each child in our boat feel special and reassured us the entire trip. We highly recommend this adventure.

Can"t say enough how great our experience was rafting down the Animas River with Alyssa as our guide. All the guides and staff were top notch. If you are in the area I highly recommend.

We had a great time on the Mild to Wild half day Animas river rafting trip. It was great bonding time with our 2 teenagers ( 16 year old girl and 15 year old boy). Don was our guide and he was experienced, knowledgeable, humorous, and made the experience much more fun. I recommend this trip for all families or friend groups looking for something fun and different to do.
