Lovely trip down the Colorado - My partner and I ended up getting a raft to ourselves, which was pretty awesome. Our guide Ashley was wonderful - she was very knowledgeable and fun and made us feel very safe the entire trip. We would have loved it if there were more rapids but given the current weather conditions I believe Ashley made the most of it for us! I highly recommend if you want a fun and relaxing trip down the Colorado while learning some fun facts.

A fabulous afternoon with Gavin - The whole afternoon was just wonderful-all of the staff there were friendly and engaging, but the experience was made extra special because of Gavin-what a funny, interesting and genuinely lovely young man-his knowledge of the area, wildlife and of the Colorado river was exceptional-it was my first time rafting and in my opinion the ideal trip as an introduction to it-I would love to come again one day and do it again, as well as the other experiences-I would highly recommend this company! 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

Fun and family friendly rafting trip - Half day rafting trip was perfect for the family. Mostly mild with just enough wild to make it interesting. Sean was a great guide who kept things entertaining while at the same time ensuring everyone’s safety. Jumping into the brown Colorado River felt a bit sketchy but ended being pretty refreshing.
