Really had fun on our first ever white water raft outing. Our guide did a good job and was friendly albeit just a little green at it. The overall company makes this experience work well even when coming in with ZERO knowledge or experience. We will definitely float again with same company…probably with an upgrade to Class III / IV rapids for a bit more action on the river.

Thank you so much for your review! We are so happy you enjoyed your experience on the river! We hope that we can take you on San Miguel for constant Class II and III rapids next time around, or maybe even take you on an epic adventure on the Upper Animas, one of the most difficult commercially run rivers in the United States!

Rafting with this group was a lot of fun. Allie, our guide, was amazing. We learned so many things from her about the river and wildlife and we would definitely come back.

Emus was an excellent guide. The river was up a little because of rain and was really fun. I would highly recommend
