We had a great time and our guide Shawn was awesome!Posted on Google Cecilia GreenTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had an absolute ahhhmazing experience today. We had Noah as our tour guide and could not have asked for a better time. Thank You! Everything was well explained and the conversations were so helpful and informative as we rafted. Would recommend coming here for any age and stage in life. There were little people on other rafts in our group that did wonderful too.Posted on Google Jakob EkelöwTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Great guide! Great river! everyone should do it! Thanks Jayson!Posted on Google Neil LaceyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Enjoyed a great whitewater rafting trip with River Runners near Buena Vista. The River guide Shaun was excellent- he made the trip fun. He was a great coach in guiding us down River. Had a great experience with Courtney in making my trip reservation. They also recently opened a restaurant on the property and serve awesome fish tacos. Check out River Runners for an exciting and fun day on the water!Posted on Google River RunnersTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. AWESOME TIME! Eryn is the best guide ever. She is the best guide I have ever seen, wow!Posted on Google Shawn McMillanTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Such an awesome trip!! Our guide, "Dodge", was very nice, instructive, professional, kind, and honestly just fun to be with. I highly recommend for anyone!Posted on Google Chris TTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I very rarely leave reviews, but we had an awesome run with Tay! She was easily the best guide I've ever rafted with, including my past runs on other rivers in Colorado, Tennessee, South Carolina & Georgia. Literally everyone in the boat had a blast, kids and adults included! We will definitely ask for her again.Posted on Google KelseyTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We have been coming to River Runners yearly for almost a decade. It’s one of the highlights of our summer! The guides are ALL fantastic (Ask for William, also known as Mr Pancake), knowledgeable, safe, and entertaining. It's a GREAT activity for families and adults, the scenery is stunning.
Have questions about logistics, what to expect, or whether rafting is right for your wedding guests? We’ve got you covered.
Safety is our top priority. All trips are led by certified, experienced guides. Every guest gets a thorough safety orientation, proper gear (wetsuits, helmets, PFDs), and we’ll match your group to the appropriate river section based on guest ages and abilities.
If you have guests with specific concerns (older family members, people with medical conditions, varying comfort levels) we’re happy to discuss accommodations. Call us at 719-966-1570.
That’s completely normal for wedding groups. We’ll help you choose a trip that’s accessible for everyone. Our guides are skilled at making first-timers feel confident while keeping things fun for more experienced rafters. If your guest list has a very wide range, we can discuss splitting into different trip options.
Wedding activities often book well in advance, especially during peak wedding season (June-September). We recommend reaching out ahead to secure your preferred dates and times.
Wedding weekend activities often book well in advance, especially during peak wedding season (June-September). Advanced reservations are highly recommended, but walk-ins are welcome if space is available. This is not always the case; especially during peak season and on weekends.
Yes. The Beach can be rented out for welcome parties, rehearsal gatherings, or post-rafting celebrations. Contact us to discuss availability and pricing.
We’ll provide detailed pre-trip information to share with your guests, but the basics are:
We provide all rafting gear (wetsuits, splash jackets, helmets, PFDs). We recommend guests leave valuables in their cars.
We take photos during the trip (available for purchase after), but if you’d like to bring your own photographer, we can discuss options. Photographers would need to be in a separate raft with a guide.
Once you submit a quote request, our team will follow up to confirm your guest count and dates, recommend the best trip options for your group, discuss venue rental options at The Beach if interested, and answer questions about logistics and coordination. There’s no obligation; just helpful guidance from people who’ve worked with hundreds of wedding groups.
If you’re still unsure, reach out. We’re happy to help.
