This was a great experience with a very professional company. We had originally booked the half day whitewater adventure, but with scheduling conflicts had to change to the quarter day and everyone we spoke with at the company was extremely accommodating. Now for the actual trip: we had Dylan, who was a really personable and fun guide! Because of our family size (two adults and three kids ranging from 6 years to 10 years) we were on a raft with just the guide. Dylan was really great at explaining safety in terms that all of my children could understand and once on the water he was very kind in answering all their questions and making the trip exciting, even on the quiet sections. We were in Colorado for two weeks and my kids think this was one of the best things we did (ever)!

Best thing Ever! Kids don't lie and its easy to see why rafting would be at the top of the list. It is one of the koolest things you can do, floating down a river thru a historic mining town in the Colorado Rocky Mountains! Thank you for the review!

We did the 2 hr rafting trip at 4pm and had an awesome time on the river, sharing it with the locals and other rafters in the tour group. Thanks to the crew, and a special shout out to our guide Zach— all smiles here, great way to spend the afternoon!

Mountain Waters Rafting did a great job for our 2 hour trip down the river. Marcus was our river guide. He was funny, knowledgeable and great with our kids. Everyone had a great time. My kids are now hooked on rafting and can’t wait for the next river adventure. What more could you ask for?
