My group & I came to Colorado from Texas & of course we had to go rafting! We absolutely loved the trip & our guide, Billy! We didn’t even regret getting in the cold water lol. We recommend going on this rafting trip & ask for Billy as your guide if you can!

It wouldn't be a raft trip in Colorado if we didn't have Texans rafting with us, we sure do appreciate y'all! Thank you for the recommendation and the review!

Our family of 6 had a fantastic time white water rafting! We did the 4 hour afternoon tour with Jesse as our guide. It was our first time white water rafting as a family. The water levels are a little low this time of year, but the recent rain on July 27th made it a little more exciting. There was only one section of class 3 rapids. It was perfect for our family (kids ages - 14 to 8)...enough excitement to make it fun, but not too crazy. Had a great time in the "lake" area - swimming, splashing other groups, etc. Weather was perfect. Definitely recommend as a fun family activity!
