(970) 423-7031

Cost varies depending on difficulty level, tour length, and package deals but generally is around $100-150 a person.


Rafting in Colorado is super fun and the guides are world class experts so you can just focus on having fun, enjoying the views, and getting out in the mountains.


Unlike other places (Texas) rafting or floating in Colorado is an extreme sport! You can not drink on the river, you will be wearing a wetsuit (water temp is usually around 40-55 F) and you should not wear flip flops or other shoes that can slip off easily. That said, it is super fun and exciting so if you are up for the adventure we highly recommend!
