We rafted with Julio and had a great time- even got to “surf” the boat upstream- kids loved it! ( grown ups did too)

We did the Morning Jeep Tour and afternoon Rafting Tour. Both were quite nice. The Jeep Drive is a tad rough but provides wonder views of San Juan National Forest. Seats could use a handle bar as it gets bumpy. Jay was a good Tour Guide. The rafting trip was fantastic, Sam the guide is a hoot. The river might have been low but it was made fun and a great time. Will definitely come back for more with different river conditions.

We're very happy to hear that you enjoyed yourself overall on both our tours! Thank you again for taking the time to share your experience with us!
