Telluride Morning Half-Day Rafting Tour on the San Miguel River

Telluride Morning Half-Day Rafting Tour on the San Miguel River

Overview

Short on time but big on adventure? The San Miguel half-day is the trip for you. Experience red rock walls forested in green pines while constantly paddling along. Constant Class II and intermittent Class III rapids will keep you engaged throughout this narrow, twisting waterway. The San Miguel is one of Colorado’s great secrets, come raft what you’ve been missing.
You’ll work with your guide to maneuver around fun obstacles in the water, but also have plenty of time to take in the scenery. Anyone ages 10+ will have an absolute hoot on this trip, whether it’s your first or hundredth time rafting a river.
This is a hands-on paddling trip! Be ready to navigate with your guide through this narrow canyon.

Booked a half day for my sisters bachelorette weekend in Telluride and we had an amazing time! Our river guide John was truly the best. He made us feel safe while also having a great time with our group. Couldn’t have asked for a better day on the river, thank you guys so so much!!

Very fun rafting trip. Always felt safe. Funny and easy going guides. The boats were in good condition and they supplied wetsuits and booties. Couldn’t have been easier!

Booked using website and found it very intuitive and easy to navigate. Same with the standard waiver forms, all done in advance. The trip cost is reasonable and a great value. Our pre-trip briefing emphasized safety and seemed to cover all scenarios -made us feel confident. The rafting went great. The river was flowing fast (650 cfs) and provided plenty of excitement surrounded by beautiful scenery. We were glad to use wetsuits, (farmer John style with booties and a splash jacket) . Guides were skilled, professional and entertaining. Only disappointment was not getting any photos. Maybe one of the shuttle drivers could take a photo of each boat as it went by, somewhere mid trip. If you’re tempted by a fun adventure on the river, do it!!
