Family friendly fun - Zach was great. He entertained the kids and adults. This was my 6 year olds first raft trip and he was nervous but all of us had a great time! On to bigger rapids next time!

Sleepy Nate was awesome and Nasty Nate is cool too. - Sleepy Nate made our adventure super fun. It was a majority of my family’s first time rafting including my five year old niece. This was a perfect level for the amount of experience. Highly recommend.

Family Must Do - Everything about this was awesome! KK was so amazing! We ❤️ her! The kids had so much fun. My daughter is 7 but the size of a 5 year old so I wasn’t sure where to start her…family float is a great intro. We’re going back tomorrow to do the class III rapids. Great staff. Beautiful scenery. Must do if you are in CO. We drove in from Breck and it was an easy drive!

Run, don’t walk to American Adventure Expeditions! - My family of six went on the family float today and we had the absolute best time! Our raft guide, Sam, was amazing!! He had us laughing and he was so great with our four kiddos all under the age of 10. The experience exceeded our expectations; if you’re considering an excursion with your family, look no further and request Sam “Smilie”!

Would do it again. - Fun family trip ages 9-54. The rafting was both relaxing and exciting. The rafting guide (from Oklahoma and future lawyer, cannot remember his name) did a fantastic job making the experience memorable, entertaining and educational. This was my 9 year olds first rafting experience and she cannot wait to go again. A lot of that was due to the guides ability to make the whole experience fun.
