Hear From Our Happy
Adventurers

We had such a great experience w river runners rafting. Our guide Zach was the lead guide … and he was 10/10! He was professional, fun & a blast to spend several hours with. We felt safe the whole time and enjoyed every minute! Thanks Zach !

Benjamin D.

Fantastic experience for our family of four. Our two kids, ages 11 & 13 absolutely loved their first whitewater adventure with this company. We did Browns Canyon with Class 3 rapids and found it to be the perfect fit- challenging but still fun (and everyone stayed in the raft). Our guide was Travis and we all enjoyed his helpful tips for first timers, history tidbits along the way, and his technical abilities to make our ride fun and safe. We’ll be back!
