One of the best things we did in Colorado! With no previous rafting experience, we decided on the scenic float. We were the last trip of the year, and it was a cooler day, so it was a little chilly. Waterproof jackets were helpful, and splashes were few and minor, thank goodness! We stopped at one of the hot springs, which was amazing. Charlotte was our guide. Our whole family loved her! She was personable and knowledgeable and made our trip a lot of fun. We would definitely go back!

This was a great family event. This trip we did the float as we had a less adventurous participant. It was perfect and allowed us all to enjoy to beautiful scenery together as a family.

Neil was a great tour guide- funny, calm, made sure we were always comfy and happy while filling us in with fascinating events and facts about the Canyon, river and Glenwood Springs area! We had so much fun and it was an incredible and very memorable experience. The local company we were with via Viator were friendly, fun and made everything so easy for us by preparing us well!

Our guide, Rob, was very entertaining and super friendly and skilled. And the scenery is so beautiful from the river, this all made up for the weather turning cold and rainy mid float. I would recommend at this time of year even if it is sunny to start, wear a wind/water protection layer!

We had the most enthusiastic and exciting guide. Her name I believe was Demetrius. She was so knowledgeable and we felt safe in her hands. It was such a thrill. The scenery was amazing. Can't wait to come back again.

This trip exceeded our expectations, we had so much fun!!!
We had Ben as our raft guide, he was awesome and very informative, right down to how we should proceed to Denver after the ride. He made us aware of the closure on 70, due to an accident/fire, and suggested another way to bypass the issue. Thank goodness he did. We made it to our final destination along a wonderful scenic route.
We would suggest Defiance to anyone and everyone.
Don’t miss it, you wont retreat it.
