Best trip EVER! - BEST 4th of July Adventure EVER! I chose to invest in memories with my family instead of fireworks and I am so glad this is the company I chose to do it with! From the kind voice on the other end of the phone when I called to make the reservation, and warm welcome at the counter when we check in, to the friendly greeting of the bus driver, in addition to the fantastic service and experienced guides; this trip could not have been a better experience! (Not to mention the "bang for your buck!") The word "intermediate" may sound intimidating, but the staff at Downstream ensure everyone is safe and has a blast! Whether it's your first time rafting, or you've done it in past, Downstream will make sure each trip is an adventure you will never forget!

All the fun! - What a great time! The guides and and staff were all super friendly and professional. Mark was super fun and knowledgeable. He and our safety kayaker Chaz were both funny, helpful, and adventurous all while helping us feel safe. Can’t wait to see them on the Gauley in the fall! I definitely recommend this business and will request these guys in the future! Jen

5 star time - This was my second time rafting with Downstream Adventures. I have rafted with multiple companies near Idaho Springs and no one compares to Downstream. Family owned business and the best staff. Staff is knowledgeable, fun, and will keep you safe and having a good time while going down class 4-5 rapids. Competitive pricing and worth every penny. Lyndsay was my guide and I would highly recommend requesting her. FIVE STAR TIME!

Best Day Ever! - Incredible day on the Advanced Rafting Adventure with a great guide, Kurt! Great instruction, as well as a guided tour of the area flora and fauna. Our rescue kayakers, Travis and the guy with the long blonde surfer hair from Florida. I'm sorry I can't remember his name. I will return for many more memories with this fine team. It was nice to know we had a crew of folks responsible for our safety. I should add no one needed rescuing. Thanks!

Great group to raft with! - My boyfriend and I went on the advanced rafting trip in mid July and had a great time! Due to water level being lower the advanced trip was an intermediate trip with class 3 and 4 rapids, it was 5 miles long and we were on the water for about an hour and a half. This group is incredibly professional and we both felt very safe. Our river guide was Chaz, he was awesome! He was clearly very knowledgeable and skilled, he takes the time to discuss the rapid before you go through it and explain what will happen, this made me feel extra safe, and helped me to prepare for the rapid. Thoroughly enjoyed our trip, and would love to come back during high water season. 10/10 would recommend!

Great time with a great staff! - Awesome time! Staff was extremely experienced, and they put many measures in place to ensure safety as well as sanitary conditions necessary due to Covid. Sam was our guide and did a great job. Our family had a great experience and would recommend to anyone to give it a try!
