We had a great time!
This was our first rafting trip as a family and everyone had a ball! The company took care of everything, gave us good instructions, and our guide was excellent. The river was mostly class I and II, with one class III rapids and the kids loved every bump and splash. We want to commend our guide Kyle, who took us down the lower Animas. Not only was he an excellent guide, steering us adroitly through the obstacles and commanding our crew expertly, but most of all, we appreciated how he interacted with our autistic 12 year old son Sam. Sam was clearly nervous about the trip. Kyle helped calm him and praised his efforts to point out EVERY rock in the river. At the rest stop, he got Sam to wade into the river and became his buddy. As a result, Sam, as well as the rest of us (parents, teenage boy, and twenty-something daughter and boyfriend) had a great time. We are all ready to do it again...intermediate next time! We would recommend this company to all our friends and to anyone wanting a fun day on the river.
