- Poudre Park - Located about 15 minutes away from downtown Ft. Collins and an hour away from Estes Park and Boulder. After arriving, check in with the Trip leader for the “Taste Trip” Class II-III. Please make sure you have shoes or sandals that will not fall off your feet (Crocs and flip flops are not allowed). Bootie shoes and wetsuits are available to rent if interested. Life jackets and helmets will be handed, you’ll watch an instructional safety video and we will all get into our rafting bus and drive 20 minutes up the Poudre Canyon to the put in. We will unload the rafts and the trip leader will direct rafters to their assigned raft. Additional instruction will be provided by each raft guide to their crew and answer any additional questions. Each rafter will use a paddle and follow the guides instructions to navigate Class II and III Whitewater. The Poudre River is not a float trip, it is exciting, and guests should arrive expecting to paddle and participate in the adventure. This trip is good for families with children as young as 7. Small Children are allowed to sit in the middle of the raft and hold on if interested. Come have fun and make some new memories with us!

Wanderlust is the way to go! - We had a blast ending the season with George, Jack, Collin, and driver Daniel (hope I remembered his name correctly) and going blank on our gal who captured the photos. She was super fun! Thanks to Bob, for helping us get the reservation put together. Everyone was truly awesome. Great team! Water was low, but we still had a blast! Collin was a fantastic guide, funny, witty, and made sure we had fun. Hopefully we can return next year in June to get the full effect. Highly recommend Wanderlust. 10 out of 10.

Awesome! - Had a great time. The last day of the season and water was low but Colin made it fun. Celebrated my daughter’s BF’s birthday and they made her feel special. All the staff (Jack,George,Eric) are fun and knowledgeable. I would totally recommend both trips! Level 1&2 and level 3&4. Tammy, Jenna, and Molly!😎

Great time on the Poudre - Neil, George and Bob did a great job for our friends and us--4 72 year olds. Helpful, polite, skilled and somewhat funny (: They picked the right sections to run for the weather and water levels and we had a blast. Do it!

Friendly, fun guides and great trip! - My family of five had a great time. The guides were all very friendly and made the trip fun as well as informative. The weather wasn’t great but they all had great attitudes and we would definitely raft with them again!

Great guides and loads of fun even if the weather didn't cooperate! - The cool, rainy weather didn't dampen the enthusiasm of the guides or guests on our mid-August adventure! Even the low levels of water in the river didn't stop us (mid-Aug isn't the best time for white water rafting but we were in town for a wedding). We just did the first 3 miles twice! This added to the fun as we did the course, stopped and reloaded our rafts back on the trailer and went back to the start, unloaded and reboarded our rafts. We changed positions in the raft and had a new experience the second time through! The guides joked that the second trip would be done backwards, and our particular raft seemed to take that to heart as we ended up doing a couple of the rapids backwards. Taylor, the lead guide had so much infectious energy and joy and our guide, Josh, shared his wealth of knowledge of the plants, trees, and rocks we were passing! Shout out to Dakota who drove the bus and the photographer who kept showing up at various points along the route to take pictures! No one in the 4 rafts got dumped into the river -- which was probably a good thing, considering the weather -- but everyone seemed to have an enjoyable rafting experience!

Tons of fun - We had a wonderful time with our guide Jack. He made the trip very enjoyable and interesting facts about the river. He made our Grandson Logan's first rafting trip a pure joy. Would recommend Jack as your guide. We would definitely book more trips for our grandchildren with A Wanderlust Adventure.
