Emma was amazing! Had lots of fun! The view was straight out of a movie… We were all trying rafting for the first time and they were very understanding through the process…

We loved our whitewater rafting experience! I was with my mom and my two teenage boys who had never rafted before. Austin, our guide, was amazing! He was funny, shared a lot of fun facts about the area, and my boys really enjoyed him. He taught them how to paddle and they are now super excited to come back! This was the highlight of our whole vacation!

This tour was amazing. We did the Cottonwood Family Float because we had never done whitewater rafting and weren’t sure what to expect. Both Paula and Jonah were amazing. They were both experienced, funny and put us at ease. The ride didn’t have a ton of rapids, but enough to make it fun. Perfect one for our first time. Would recommend to everyone and would love to do again with them.
Tip: Use code to get the photos for free.

We were a group from a retirement community in Boulder, that included folks in their 80s. Billy and his team took amazing care of us. We felt well informed but also there was so much fun and humor in the trip. Also, Billy told us lots of interesting information about geography and wildlife that we passed. Thanks so much!

My husband and I did the Cottonwood Family float with our 10 year old and 4 year old. We chose this trip because we had never been rafting and we had a little one with us. It was perfect! Fantastic intro to rafting. Sam was our guide and she was awesome. My son (10) said it was his favorite part of our whole vacation and he is ready for a more difficult trip next time!

We did the family float for time reasons primarily, and really enjoyed it. It was a calmer introduction to rafting, which I appreciated. Afterwards, I did feel like next time I’d be ready for the next step up, having had this good experience. Billy was an excellent guide and teacher. There were two kids, 7 & 8, on our trip, and they loved it. I would say this is fantastic for beginners, families of young kiddos, or older individuals, who’d like to test the waters and their affinity for rafting before going on a longer, more challenging run.

Had a great experience with Austin!!! Took my 4 yr old and 8 yr old. My 8 yr old loved every second. My 4 yr old liked it ok but got pretty nervous with some of the rapids. (I believe there are a couple of class 3 rapids on this trip) 7 miles down the river was just the right amount for our family. Loved the photos from the photographer!
