We had a private boat for just the six of us. Nancy, our guide, was great! She gave us a great ride… grandkids loved it! She was also helpful in narrating points of interest, and telling us of further adventures while we stay in Durango. A great trip!

Dan, our rafting leader and guide, was superb: extremely knowledgeable and skilled. He made us very comfortable, as we experienced several rapids. We also 'saved' a person on a kayak who went overboard negotiating one of the rapids. I highly recommend this company, which was highly organized, and a half-day rafting trip on the Animus River. It was well worth it!!
