We had an awesome day on the river. Benji was our guide. He was funny and very knowledgeable about the history of Durango. The river itself is beautiful and fun, but Benji made it even more entertaining.

My six teens did the Lower Animas River trip with Hayden as their guide and had a blast! They said he was fun, professional, helpful, great stories - not a dull moment. We will do this again and request him!

Our first rafting experience down the Animas River was a BLAST. Our guide, Grace, was so nice and so gracious to answer all 100+ questions asked by our son (he loved every minute). We had such a wonderful experience, and can’t wait to book our next trip, with Grace!! Thanks for the memories.
