Awesome Float Experience - Loved our 1/2 day float down the river. The rapids were mild, which was fine for our group, and the scenery was beautiful! Gavin and Max, our guides, were knowledgeable, friendly and funny! They shared lots of information about what we were seeing, and told us lots of jokes that kept us laughing! It was terrific!!!

Rafted the Colorado without a paddle - After months of reviewing rafting options and discussing with friends and family that would join, we chose the simplest and shortest trip. Low water provided a very relaxed float in BEAUTIFUL terrain, which the guide made even more enjoyable with great stories.

Fun Half Day Float - We enjoyed a morning float on the river. The scenery was spectacular. Could have been in a western movie backdrop. Eli our guide and Bubba our driver could have been more helpful or friendly. The river guide jokes were pretty funny too. It would be fun to come back in season and find some real rapids.

Family (6 and 9 year olds) half day float - We enjoyed the half day float (with some swimming!) along the Colorado River and would gladly return for another. Our 6 and 9 year olds loved sitting at the front of the boat watching out for rocks and taking in the scenery. The staff and our guide were great as well.

The experience is good,... - The experience is good, just the river didn’t cooperate and it felt not much whitewater rafting. It was very relaxing. Our guide Zach is what made the difference, he made it more fun than the other boats!
