We had a blast! Our family did the half day lower Animas rafting trip and we already want to do it again. Our guides were awesome, the weather was beautiful, the water felt great and the scenery was breathtaking. Our guide Steve was hilarious and kept us entertained the entire time. We learned some Durango history, too! Thank you, Steve!

Our family of four had a great experience with Steve as our guide. He kept it safe and fun for our 6 and 9 year old. They can't wait to do it again!

They are legit. We did the upper piedra and the whole experience was great. My 12 year old son and I did it and it was perfect. Water could have been a bit higher but that is out of all of our control. We felt safe and well cared for yet had some great adventures. The scenery was epic, and there were two good class 4s at the end. Jeb was our guide and he was kind and skilled. Highly recommend!!
