Our family of 10 people did the level 1-3 rafting in the lower Animas! It was fantastic! We had kids ranging from 4-12. Don our guide was AWESOME! He made sure the kids and adults were having a good time. He kept everyone smiling, laughing and safe. This trip is a must do if in Durango!

Caleb was the most outstanding river guide anyone could ask for. Caleb was insightful, intelligent, and entertaining. Caleb, Caleb,Caleb knows these rivers like the back of his hand and anyone would be lucky to have Caleb guide them down this amazing journey.

We had so much fun! Our kids both yelled, “That was amazing!” as we got out of the water. Lauryn was an incredible guide. She maneuvered us expertly and had fun facts about our surroundings. 8 thumbs up from our family of four!
