Such a fun event for my family. It was will organized. Decent price. Easy to find. Just enough action and excitement to feel exhilarated, but not so much that you didn't feel safe. Ask for Maddi. She was a great guide. She was a great match for our family. My teens really enjoyed rafting with her. (2 adults, 2 teens: 15, 17)

This is the beginner river raft trip of Colorado, family friendly for those 4 to 84! Thank you for the review!

We had a fantastic time on the half day rafting trip. The guides were all pleasant and positive. Our raft guide, Hannah, did a really excellent job making everyone feel comfortable and safe while we paddled down the river. The water was up enough that the trip was fun, but never particularly challenging or scary. I would highly recommend taking a trip with this group. It definitely made me think this is something I would like to try again - maybe on even a little bigger rapids next time.
