This river rafting trip was more than worth the 2.5 hour drive from Granby! I booked the Taste of Whitewater option specifically because we have younger kids. My 7 year old Sarah, who is nervous and anxious by nature, had an absolutely wonderful time! Our guide Lucas, who has been rafting the Poudre for 21 seasons, was professional, educational and a really good sport for having three children under the age of 13 in his raft! Lauren also rode with us in the front of the boat to help us out and she was so cheery and encouraging! On our drive back Sarah, Gabe and Grayson kept talking about how they want to come back! Thank you so much for a very positive and fun experience!

Our guide Taylor was absolutely incredible. Our group consisted of a bunch of teenagers in our summer camp who never swam/weren't strong swimmers and she navigated that like a champ. Taylor was extremely nice and encouraging the whole trip through and gave us lots of solid demonstration and advice to help the trip go smoothly. When a raft capsized on a rock and she had to go help them for a while, she stayed very calm and was very professional in her rescue of the passengers and extremely apologetic for leaving us in the raft to hang out for around 30ish minutes. I would highly recommend it and will be going there with my friends in the future ☺️ and photos are free on Thursdays which is a NICE plus

Wanderlust rafting is awesome! I went in a family group with a range of ages and we all had a great time. Krista is super kind, informative, and friendly! She communicated clearly and having her as our guide made our whole group feel like we were in good hands. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a great rafting excursion.

We had so much fun on our August 11th Taste of Rafting trip with Brandon! Our group included myself, husband and two kids (10 and 11). We were paired with two more adults and a child and had plenty of space to enjoy the river in our raft! The Taste trip included two "put ins" with each section of rafting being about 3-4 miles. We experienced a handful of class 3 rapids and Brandon kept it fun but also made sure we were safe.

Back at the meeting place, there are plenty of changing rooms (you will be SOAKED) and the opportunity to buy the photo package. I thought this was a huge perk and not something I saw when researching other companies. The photographer did a great job of capturing our raft at various points in the river for different perspectives. For $55 we got 30-40 pics of our raft and a video and they are all quality shots.

You'll have a great time with Wanderlust Adventure on the "Taste" trip!

We had an incredible experience from start to finish. It was our first time rafting. They went over the safety instructions and got us suited up pretty quickly. The drive is short. Two of the women in our group usually get car sick and they didn't have any issues with the short drive on the bus.
Nate was our guide and he totally made us feel safe and communicated really effectively for our group of three to blend well with the other two solo riders. It was really about teamwork and with Nates instructions we were able to accomplish that despite working with strangers. The experience was thrilling and there were lots of screams (mostly joy perhaps some healthy fear of the raging water) and plenty of laughs. Would 100% come back! Thanks for making our trip so memorable!

Austin was our guide for this white water rafting trip and he was nothing short of incredible. He was super knowledgeable about the river and I felt very comfortable with him teaching and leading my group down the river. He was also pretty funny! I highly recommend A Wanderlust Adventure and if you have the chance definitely pick Austin as your guide!!! The photo/video package was also extremely reasonable ($50) and everything was high quality! I can’t say enough great things about A Wanderlust Adventure and I’m stoked for my next trip down the river with them during high season! Thanks again Austin and crew!!

My group for a bachelor party had the best imaginable time on the Taste of Whitewater trip. Our guide, Kylie, was by far the best guide I've ever had after many years of rafting trips and the entire group was over the moon with our experience.

10/10, would recommend in a heartbeat and strongly encourage you to go with Kylie!

What a great company! We were traveling with our softball team, and Wanderlust was so easy to work with! They accommodated 12 families with the online booking, and made our rafting trip a perfect team building day. We did the ‘taste’ with ages 8-15 kids and adults. Everyone had fun!
My guide, Austin, was great at explaining what we needed to do and why. He was funny and fun. We were sure we got the best guide, but so were the other 5 boats on our trip!
Side note- we ate at Vern’s afterward and received amazing service and food there as well.

Thanks, Wanderlust, for a memory that will last a lifetime!

I had a great time! I went with my partner and their family and the staff was very accommodating, especially considering we barely made it in time to make it onto the bus (I do not recommend being late, but very much so appreciate them working with us). Krista was our guide and she was funny, efficient, honest, informative, and obviously an expert. I've always loved the air on river water, and the cool air and cold water felt great on a warm summer day. My partner, their family, and I all had a great time, and I will definitely recommend A Wanderlust Adventure to future folks interested in some time on the river!

We had such a great time! We were nervous at first but the team at Wanderlust Adventures made us feel safe and prepared! The guides were very knowledgeable and they also had a great sense of humor. The guide on our raft, Dakota, was awesome. We signed up for the Taste of White-water Rafting since we had two younger kids with us (8 & 10). Dakota made sure everyone felt safe while also enjoying the experience. We will definitely recommend Wanderlust Adventures to any of our friends/family visiting the area! They are a MUST to your trip!
