Meet up place was easy. The guy at check in was very nice. The girl that helped me put my life jacket on was so sweet! I just remember she was wearing blue workout shirts!
The girl in the red tank top and Levi shorts was a little over the top for me. She seemed really young and was acting like a teenager.
I enjoyed the other girls a lot more. I'm glad we got the guy as a guide though because he was chill and neutral . The younger girls tend to make things about themselves a lot .
Really enjoy when guides focus on the actual activity and this is why I enjoy the older crowd. Will definitely be booking again in the future.
Keep in mind this is a level 2 rapids perfect for families or none swimmers .

Had a wonderful float down the Colorado. Very scenic. Rapids were very calm this time of year, so we just enjoyed our time on the water. Felt great to jump in and cool off. The guides and bus driver and everybody were great.

Our guid "Man" McKensie was so knowledgable about the area and so sweet. We met a nice family from Belgium. The views were gorgeous and we enjoyed swimming in the Colorado river.

Was amazing so much un funny but safe tour guides we had molly she was very nice and Olivia and ryan were the other tour guides they spoke before and after gave food recommendations and were both very funny although Olivia said to be at matrimony springs at 8 and she never showed but next time. Great for family me and my nephew loved it.

Loved our experience! I wish I knew that the bus ride would take 40 minutes to the river launching spot, but other than that, it was great.
Our tour guide was Molly, and she was awesome! We had a family of 7 including an 8 year old and 5 year old. Molly was really accommodating to the littles, and let them help paddle. We all got in to swim several times, and she let the older kids "ride the bull" on the front during the rapids. Fun enough for the big kids, but not too rough of rapids for the littles. We were on the actual river for probably 1.5 hours total. Highly recommend!!

Kiera was a great guide. She was very knowledgeable and was great with our girls. Great Colorado river rafting trip!
Yetta_N, Jul 2023
Brendan was a great guide and helped us navigate the rapids as well as swim during quiet water. He was very positive and knew much about the local scenery.
Hope_L, Jul 2023
Ryan was a terrific guide… knowledgeable, kind and genuine. Even funny. Everything from the booking process to the staff’s professionalism throughout the experience was well done.

Mollie was our guide and she was very good. Three of the four children in our group had never rafted before, so it a good experience for them. The adults enjoyed her knowledge of the area
Caryapps_D, Jul 2023
Before our trip includes the bus ride to and from the drop off/pick up locations. That meant that our time on the water was not as long as I would have liked it to be. We had four rapids that we went across, class two and class one, and my kids (16, 7) really enjoyed it. This was their first time. The guides were great, and the process was very efficient for getting the rafts in the water, and getting out.
We were allowed to swim alongside the raft, and that was great! The water was really cold, but it was refreshing after sitting in the hot rat for 10 to 15 minutes.

Fun! Humorous and knowledgeable guides took us on a half day tour over four rapids (class 1-2) in the Lions Park area with plenty of time in between for games on the raft. Maybe a little too much time in between each rapid, but that’s just the nature of the river. Great for first timers and families in particular.

The humour and attention to safety with the guides, especially Jonas. He was hilarious and made the day a great one!
Stephen_C, May 2023
Took my five kids. We had a great time. All the guides were friendly and helpful. Our guide Jonas did a great job. Scenery, rapids, and trip in general were great!
Cheryl_W, Sep 2022
Very nice trip. Not a lot of water movement as the level was low but it was still a great time. The kids loved going down the rapids outside the raft in the water. It was fun but not too rough for them.
Carey_W, Aug 2022
Fun family day & our guide, Meredith, was very fun & knowledgeable!!! Didn’t really know what to expect or take but worked out in the end. Great for first time rafting! Ready to move up to the next level!!!
Nick_P, Aug 2022
Amazing experience! Our family (2 adults, 2 teenagers) had a wonderful time on the river. Not at all stressful if you are unsure about rafting. Opportunities to make it more exciting for those who want more adrenaline. Beautiful scenery, excellent guides.
Mike_K, Jul 2022
Seeing hells hot tub and dinosaur tracks. Jared our guide did an awesome job. He was very through patient and calm. He answered all our questions and even gave us water throughout the trip.
Rebecca_I, Jul 2022
We had an awesome time! Everyone was knowledgeable and gave insightful commentary! Would recommend them to anyone visiting the area!
Gail_Q, Jul 2022
Wonderful staff; both bus driver, Alicia, and our guide, Lucas, we’re awesome! The rapids were super fun. Can’t wait to do it again when the river is higher.
Stephen_G, Jun 2022
Our guide Lucas. Great guy and even better mustache. Incredible views and they allowed us to have fun on the raft. Great time on the Colorado river
Denise_B, Jun 2022
Lucas was our guide. He provided expert instructions and interesting details along the float. The experience was perfect for first-time rafters of all ages.
Chris_B, Jun 2022
The rain and lightning stopped us all from going. The staff however was pleasant to work with and knowledgeable about the area. Worked with us on a credit since the weather shut it down.
ANDREA_M, May 2022
Our guide Claire was great. Fun float trip with several more fun rapids. Low intensity but still fun.
LisaAdams, May 2022
Our half day float trip was just the right amount of fun and adventure for our siblings reunion. Loved the smaller rafts and the exciting rapids. Helpful, knowledgeable, friendly staff. We were surprised at how quickly it came to an end, but swift water will make that happen. Would rather have people wanting more rather than eager to be finished.

So much fun and such a great way to get views from the water. Water levels were very low because it is late in the season, but it made for a very calm but fun "white water drift" and allowed me to get amazing photos. Dan or "River Jesus" was so great and made sure we all got the most out of our trip.
Tony_S, Sep 2021
Big Adam was a great guide. The scenery was beautiful and class 2 rapids were fun to navigate. Trip was just the right amount of time.
Tim_D, Aug 2021
