Fantastic free flowing white water rafting experience in the upper Animas river! I was expecting a…read morelittle more class IV rapids than what we had, but the experience was epic! We paddled through sun, rain, and hail, all in one trip! Epic, I tell u!! Our guides, Marcus and Robby were the best! Super cool dudes who were super knowledgeable! They kept us safe and made the experience such a blast! Colorado had the lowest snowfall this past winter so the river was really low and rapids were on the slow side. Make sure to check river flow and CSF levels if u decide to book this adventure so that u're not surprised by the low flow. The river only clocked in at 620 cfs when we ran it, so we didn't have too many big rapids and drops, but it was a very technical run and such a blast to experience this ultimate and wild experience with my hubby!!

Our group had the time of our lives floating down the Animas riv with our elite guide Kaia, who was…read morein charge of the whole trip. Kaia was knowledgeable, organized, accommodating, and could have shepherded us down the route completely by herself if necessary. River guiding is clearly in her blood and the generations of river guides in her family must be proud. She is equal parts expert guide and fun banterer. If you're 8 or 80 or somewhere in between like us, you'll appreciate how Kaia gets down. No disrespect to any other river guides, but if Kaia doesn't win MVP of the week, they got to scrap this system and build back from the bottom up. On the other hand, there was one guide reportedly named ZB that was a complete vibe killer. If that guy wins, they also need to revamp this whole operation. Hope he enjoys a nice Dante's Inferno from Barber and the Bookcase and rethinks his approach to River guideship.

I had an amazing, unforgettable evening at Ladies Night 1.0. I have always loved horses but never…read morebeen able to own one. I enjoy trail rides, with the horses nose-to-tail single file following the guide, but always left feeling that something was missing. At Horse Empower we didn't ride the horses, but stood on the ground next to them, watching them, interacting with them, doing fun activities with them. Learning communication techniques with them (and my human teammates). I felt really connected to the horses and enjoyed that immensely; it was far better than any trail ride. I can hardly wait for 2.0.

The guides were incredibly skilled, knowledgeable, and made everyone feel safe while keeping the trip fun and exciting. You can tell they genuinely love what they do, and that passion carries through the entire crew. They worked seamlessly together, were professional, friendly, and created an experience that was both adventurous and relaxing. If you're looking for an unforgettable rafting trip with guides you can completely trust, I highly recommend this company. I can't wait to come back!

All guides were great but I will speak of Veronica. She was very informative and could carry a conversation to keep everyone on our raft engaged and alert.

I would assume worth it to anyone going on this adventure!

We got back a week ago from a trip to Durango. This was the highlight of our trip. We had 7…read morepeople(2 kids, 5 adults) and all 7 of us were in the same raft. Sam was our guide. He was awesome. There were two other groups of 7 that went alongside ours, that were a part of some academy. There was a school chaperone and 6 kids in each raft. Deifnitwky kid friendly. The other two guys seemed like good guys as well. You get a chance go jump into the Animas at one point and swim around. My 8 year old hopped out and had a blast. It was cold but refreshing. Sam handled things well, even when the unexpected happened. I was up front and lost my paddle as we crashed into a rock but we easily retrieved it. We then got stuck on a rock for almost 10 minutes and the other two rafts were ahead of us. Sam tried different things and eventually hopped out and got is going again. The trip to the BBQ place was nice. You got a sandwich and a drink. The chicken was dry and eh, but the pulled pork and turkey were both excellent. If you're looking to go rafting in Durango, this is the group to go with.
