Glenwood Canyon Half-Day Raft Trip in Colorado

Overview
If we only had two to three hours to spend on the water and wanted show our friends or family what it's like to experience the thrill of Class III Colorado whitewater rafting and the beauty of Glenwood Canyon, this would be the trip we'd take them on. And if we only had two hours because everyone had plans after the trip, well, we'd probably cancel them so we could all go rafting.

It's perfect for first-timers, families, and people who like experiencing life rather than Snapchatting it.

Ben was FANTASTIC. We had a group of majority inexperienced rafters, but he didnā€™t sacrifice the fun! Before leaving he made sure we were dressed to enjoy the trip which was incredibly appreciated once we realized how cool it was on the water. Had a TON of fun on the shoshone. The other guides seemed equally as great, but we unanimously agreed Ben was incredible. If youā€™re thinking about booking, think no more. We had scared non-swimmers, first time rafters, and experienced rafters, all of which had the best time. The entire crew is top notch.

Thank you, Desire! Indeed, Ben's fantastic. And he's a pretty good guide too! It's awesome to hear your mixed group was able to check all the boxes for meeting expectations. That's feedback that we never tire of hearing but also never take for granted. Take care and see you again soon! ā€“ Gregory

So glad we chose Defiance! Our guide Jeremy was entertaining and I, a Colorado native, learned so much about the canyon that I did not know. Great communication from the company and the staff was very professional. Highly recommend!

Thank you for doubling back, Pammie! Glad to hear you had a great time out there with Jeremy and learned a blend of fact and (clearing throat) lore. I appreciate hearing the communication and interactions with the Defiance crew hit the mark for you too. Take care and we hope to see you again soon! ā€“ Gregory
