Our family thoroughly enjoyed this experience. It was cold, but absolutely beautiful. They give you wetsuits and if you dress appropriately, the cold won’t be much of an issue. The views and scenery were gorgeous and we felt very safe with our three young kids. Our guide Amanda was fantastic. And at the end of the trip Amanda and Clint had a little picnic set up for us with sandwiches and chips- the kids loved it! I would highly recommend this trip!!

Great Experience

Denise_F, Aug 2023

Great experience for my young grandkids! Therese was the best guide! Highly recommend taking this trip with your family!

Surpassed our expectations!

Kristen_T, Jul 2023

The drive to the river was beautiful and we even saw some mountain goats. The views on the river were even more beautiful! Ever turn showed gorgeous scenery and we saw a bald eagle as well. Ian rainy is some history along the way and answered all our kids’ questions 😆. We got to park and jump off some cliffs…so cool! We expected a float down the river, but didn’t expect a few class 3 rapids to be thrown in which was awesome. Our kids got to take take turns riding on the front of the raft in calm waters and they thought it was awesome.

Rowing on the Rapids!

Douglas_P, Jun 2023

What a great & fun day on the river! Our guide, Steve, and the rest of the staff were friendly & helpful. After a short bus ride from the AVA store, our rafts were in the water. The rapids were family friendly & our entire group included ages from young children to grandparents. Steve’s expertise kept us all safe with each rafter actively participating with his direction. He told silly jokes & told us interesting history of the area. There was a stop to jump off some rocks or take a swim. All in all, a wonderful time that we highly recommend for all ages when visiting beautiful Colorado!

Awesome

Great staff, office dog and the tour guide. Knowledgeable, organized and friendly.Great for beginners and experienced water rafters.

Beautiful float on the Colorado River

Dolores_H, Jul 2022

Mike, our guide, was terrific! We rock & rolled (360 degree turns) over rapids and never felt the raft was out of control. He had us going backwards so we could see the beauty behind us. He clearly has mastered the art of controlling a raft and keeping us feeling secure. Great time.

Great time - Do it!

Helen_R, Jul 2022

Great experience, tour guides were energetic and fun! Some extra opportunities thrown in. Saw two bald eagles nestled in the cliffs above. Felt entirely safe. Highly recommend

Book it now! Beautiful, stunning scenery

Overall good time

Aida_G, Oct 2020

Fun, good for small kids. Best to do when its a little warmer outside maybe 80s or more. The water is very cold so even 70-75 outside is a little too cold.

Great sights

Crystal_K, Sep 2020

Mark was an excellent guide. Great sights and fun experience. Will try again on the next trip. Thanks

Family adventures

Sharon_F, Sep 2020

Beautiful float

Laura, Aug 2020

This was a great 1/2 day trip down the CO. Very pretty and scenic. Saw bald eagles and their nest. Devo was a great guide and provided lots of information and interesting details as we floated the river. He really made sure everyone on our raft was having a great time.

Great family experience!

Megan_H, Jul 2020

We had a great time!!! I have a little girl that is nine, and boys aging seven, four, and 2 1/2. They all had a great time, it was a great introduction to rafting, now they wanna go back and do level three and four 😁 Jamie, our guide, was awesome!

Beautiful river trip!

I would recommend this for anyone visiting the area. All staff was friendly and knowledgeable. Our guide Dylan had a great sense of humor and made everyone feel comfortable. The rafting was fun and the cliff jump was an unexpected treat! I would do this again if I ever visit the area again. Thank you all for a great day!

Daniel W, Aug 2017

We chose an afternoon adventure and the weather turned out to be spectacular. The process was simple and all staff were friendly and helpful. Our raft guide, Alyssa, was a wealth of information and wit. This scenic float is a very relaxing trip, fun for any age participant. Several of us braved the optional cliff jump, with no regrets the cold water does take one's breath away!

This is a great float for the family...

Howard H, Aug 2017

This is a great float for the family with small kids. It gives you a taste of fast water without the worry of them falling out of the raft. Beautiful scenery. The guide was great and the company, AVA, was well run and organized.
