What are people saying about Colorado

Matt_M, Aug 2026

Don't hesitate, book it

Staff is great. They all know exactly what to do and look like they are having a great time doing it. Scotty was our guide and he was fantastic. But we heard the same kind of comments from the passengers on the other 8 boats as well. Highly, highly recommend this trip.

Half Day Browns Canyon Rafting Adventure

Mary_K, Aug 2026

Max maxxed our fun!

My adult/eldest niece and I were due for an adventure! While we didn't say those exact words, Max took the assignment and ran with it! We worked, and laughed, and grunted and grinned. We can't wait to come back next year, and plan to request Max for that adventure, too!

Royal Gorge Half-Day Rafting Trip

Syd_T, Aug 2026

A really great experience and value

We rafted the Gorge when the water was extremely low. At first thought, that doesn’t sound fun - but our guide had us doing very technical moves to avoid large boulders that were exposed due to the water level. Our guide also provided us a ton of knowledge regarding the sights, local restaurants and just great conversation. We had a ton of fun and I wouldn’t think twice to recommend this company.

Durango Rafting - Quarter Day Family Friendly Trip

Sarah_C, Aug 2026

Refreshing Family Summer Fun!

We went in July while the water was low, and it was perfect for two young children (7 and 9 years). Our driver, Jack, was great, and our guide, Eric, was friendly, knowledgeable and awesome with kids. In case you don’t read the info before you arrive, wear sunscreen, and bring a water bottle and hat. You can leave minimal belongings behind in a plastic container. Seeing Durango from the Animas River was a memorable family experience!

Beginner Whitewater Rafting on Historic Clear Creek

Beth_S, Aug 2026

Awesome experience rafting in Colorado!

We had a really fun day on this half day rafting trip with Downstream Adventures! Dylan was the best guide, and made the trip so fun and had lots of great stories to share. He even stopped to let folks jump off a rock cliff into the river! This trip was suitable for all levels. A good mix of rapids, lazy floating, and so much beautiful scenery! Highly recommend Downstream Adventures!

Half Day Shoshone Rafting in Glenwood Springs

Jeff_C, Jul 2026

Best river rafting in Glenwood

This is a wonderful, refreshing and fun activity to do on a hot late-summer day! Wait till June or July or August so the water calms down from spring run-offs. We went in late July. 100 Degrees in Glenwood Spgs! The river felt awesome! Definitely do the Half-Day Shoshone rapids tour, not the “lazy river” one that starts after the rapids. The Shoshone Rapids are class 3-4, not bad at all. There were young children in our group and in another raft behind us, and all 7 rafts made it through without tipping or dropping anyone in the water. The rafting guides for Glenwood Adventures are top-notch and know that stretch of the Colorado like the back of their hands. Highly recommended! You need to wear a swim suit, a “water” shirt, sunglasses and water shoes. DO NOT wear flip flops. And pack a LOT of sunscreen! And bottled water! They provide life-jacket and helmet. Do it, you won’t regret this tour!

We originally booked the...

We originally booked the Half Day Roaring Fork trip, but they reached out a few hours before and asked if we wanted to change to the trip that included more rapids as they thought it would be better for our family. So thankful that they did! We had a great day and our raft guide Justin was Awesome! All of the guides were great, they made the experience from start to finish a great one. We would definitely recommend and would go again!

Jessica_R, Jul 2026

Great experience

It was a great experience, they called the night before to confirm and ask if I had any questions. When we arrived they gave you all the info and provide life jackets and helmets. You do need shoes with backs on them or you can rent shoes from them. The guides were knowledgeable and friendly. We had a great experience with Nick.

John_S, Jul 2026

Great First Rafting Trip for Kids

Great first rafting trip for the kids! (Ages 12 and 6) A fun experience for the adults as well. Just enough rapids for some excitement but not too much to make it scary for the little ones. Everybody had the option of taking a swim and float down the cool waters. Anastasia was a great guide; friendly and knowledgeable. She made sure everyone was safe and had a blast. Would definitely recommend this activity and company.

Durango Half Day Rafting Trip - Lower Animas River

Lisa_P, Jul 2026

Great first time

Great time. First time for me and my 12 yo step daughter. We somehow ended up w a private ride when all the other rafts were loaded. I thought it was going to be scary but it wasnt. We even fooled around and took the big rapids sideways for extra fun. We had Colton and he was great. Couldn't have asked for a better guide.
