Our guide Josh was wonderful; he put the kids at ease, was thorough and confident on the river and maintained a great sense of humor!! My husband and brother in law took kids, 10, 9 and 7 and the kids already asked if we can do it again.

The guide was great Dyan R. The scenery was beautiful, Dylan was good story teller, And good knowledge of area. My only downfall was the stopping and waiting for kayaks. I would much rather keep going I needed more go then stop. I feel kayaks should have own group. We had to stop and pick one up at one point. Which glad someone was there for them ,but when you have many rafts waiting it was to much.. We also did the Jeep tour which was excellent..

Thank you so much for your review and your feedback. We agree that kayakers may need to have their own tour guides in the future. We're glad you had an enjoyable experience with Dylan and on your jeep tour!

Eight of us set out to raft the Animas River today. Dylan D was our captain and he successfully navigated us through the rocks and around the trees. He was a great guy and made the trip even more fun. There were five rafts full of people and once in a while there was water splashing across the rafts.
