Fun way to enjoy sights from the river

Timothy_J, Sep 2023

Ashley was the guide on my raft. She was very friendly and shared lots of interesting information about the sights from the river. I did the full day version of this tour. For the small amount extra, it was very much worth it. Fo yourself a favor, and do the full day with picnic lunch. Drive to/from rafting was coordinated perfectly, and was comfortable.

Do the research.

Miles_P, Jul 2022

This event is great for young families. It's a slow float down the Colorado rive. It's hot and much of the time is spent in water fights and jumping in and out of the boat. If you have a family with kids about the age of 8-12 this would be perfect. I bailed half way to get out of the heat and boredom. Bad on me for not doing better research. In terms of Mild to Wild" this is way on the Mild side.

Nice trip down Colorado

Gerald_H, Aug 2020

Tour guides were fun and knowledgeable! Nice quiet trip down the Colorado, excellent for first time rafters. Rapids weren't too rough and plenty of places for swimming and water fights with other boats!
