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.

Had an AMAZING time white water rafting!! I chose Daffiance Rafting Co bc of all the 5 star reviews and they did not disappoint!!! Tanner was our guide and he was the BOMB!!! I was nervous as it was my familyā€™s first time rafting but I felt super safe with him and was able to relax and enjoy the ride!! Thank you Tanner!!!

My wife had been rafting several times and wanted to share the experience with me. There are many companies to work with and I'm not sure how we ended up with Defiance, but I am glad we did. Even the safety briefing was fun! We had a full group of 8 and we took the front seats. Right away, we went into some good rapids and flailed as the raft bucked and dove. The majority of the trip was more relaxed with only occasional rapids. So, it was a perfect start for me - I'd love to do something even more intense next!

Thanks for the circling back, BJ! I'm also glad you stumbled across Defiance and spent a chunk of your day with us. There are a number of options for rafting out there; so you ending up with us is not taken for granted. Come see us again and we'll get you out on one of our High-Five adventures! Take care! ā€“ Gregory

Our group had a great trip down the Colorado with our guide Tanner. He was funny and had some really interesting facts about the canyon that he shared. We were actually the first to ride for the season... hit some "CRUNCHY" rapids, had a few chill times in calm water, and even got to ride the man-made wave at the end. It was a great rafting experience with my close friends. If you're ever looking for a fun trip that takes you down river for a few hours, definitely check out Defiance Rafting. And for some EXTRA fun, make sure to ask for Tanner; he's awesome! I'll definitely be back with the same group and/or bring others.
