I saw some reviewers say they brought their 8 year old on this...I'm assuming it was a different trip than ours. We did the 1/2 and went through some excellent III+ to almost IV rapids!! Our guide Zac was excellent - very skilled and experienced, friendly, and entertaining for sure. Let everyone switch seats and such to make sure all... More

This was my first trip on the river, and we had a great time. They took us to a III+ rapid area, and since it was early May and an early melt season, the river was going pretty well. We had a thrilling experience, and our guide Ed was great. The building was built for commercial rafting, so they have... More

This was our children's first time rafting (3 and 6 years) as well as mine. The company did great at suggesting a route that would be suitable for kids and not scare them, as well as accomodate adults in our party. The guide was terrific in letting the kids be comfortable in the raft, was fine with having them help... More

This was our first rafting experience with our 8yo. We thought it she would enjoy it but were concerned about taking her rafting. We choose a half day trip, some great fun wave trains but also some time to just enjoy the river. She had a blast, even jumping in the bracing Colorado for a swim. Fortunately our guide had... More

We were very happy with the honesty of the staff when we called for conditions. They stated water was running low but they could make the "short Trip" exciting. They made it a very pleasureable trip, the guide, Joe, was from the Colorado area and had a lot of facts to add to the 6 rapid trip. it was great... More

We went on the duckie (inflatable kayak) tour with Drew and had a fabulous half day on the Colorado River. The rapids were not as fierce as we would have liked, perhaps, but they were good for August. Drew did a nice job pointing out the sights and took us to the hot springs for a dip. The outfitters were... More

This was our 2nd year rafting with Whitewater Rafting in Glenwood Springs. We stay in Beaver Creek and drive out in morning to do the half-day trip on Colorado River. WR is a very organized outfit and the check-in is quick and the orientation is efficient. I very much appreciate that they sell or rent water shoes, jackets, etc at... More

We recently took a half day rafting trip down the Colorado river. This was the first time for all of us. I was extremely impressed with the entire trip! Everything went very smooth from the beginning. The check-in process was quick and smooth, the staff was great at providing information and answering any questions. A boat captain gave detailed instructions... More

We had 5 15 year old boys and explained to the rafting company that we wanted something more challenging than the Brown's trip on the Arkansas river. We were told that the rapids were Class III when in reality it was a float trip. Do not go on this trip with teenagers! Choose something on the Arkansas out of Buena... More
