Chase was AWESOME!! We (myself, boyfriend & boys) went on an amazing kayaking trip down the Animus!! Chase was so much fun, professional & we felt so safe. To go from the AZ desert to Class 3 rapids took some skill, and Chase did a phenomenal job! Totally awesome day & experience!!!!

Max is clearly an experienced rafting guide. He selected his own route through low water (and rocky) conditions and confidently guided the raft through obstacles. Beyond his skill level, his personality is amazing. He engaged all travelers in meaningful conversation. I was especially impressed that he took the time to have a one-on--one conversation with my two pre-teen sons the entire drive back from the river to M2W headquarters. He shared a TechDeck with them and talked about skateboarding. We would definitely do this trip again with Max as our guide given the chance. YOU ROCK MAX!!!

Skylar was great, friendly, knowledgeable about the river and local history. River was up so they extended the trip so we would have more time on the river
