I had been rafting before in North Carolina, but I definitely wanted to raft the Colorado River! The landscape is breathtaking, and the water was beautiful. The levels were very low while we were there, but it didn't make it any less fun! Our guide was very knowledgeable about the surroundings and pointed things out we never would have noticed... More

I was quite nervous as this was my first time white water rafting, but our guide put me at ease right away. She was always checking how I was feeling to make sure I was ok. I had a great time, the rapids were run and not nearly as scary as I thought they would be. The scenery is absolutely... More

Following the advice of fellow Trip Advisor Reviewers, we selected the 2X Shoshone Rapids, meaning you ride the Class3 Rapids twice rather than doing it once and then floating down the river for the remainder of the time. My kids, 11 and 13, absolutely had a blast. The rapids were perfect for that age bracket. I give the tour company... More

Took the half day raft trip including the rapids. What a ride! We took our 11 year old son, and did not have any worries about his safety or ours. Tess was our guide and she is the best! I went to college here, and she answered all my questions that referred to "the good old days".

We went on the half day adventure down the rapids. Neither of us had rafted before and I was a little nervous. The company was really professional and we felt safe at all times. The rapids were thrilling and an experience I'll never forget. The trip was made by our guide Dylan. He expertly steered us down river whilst giving... More

We took our 5 and 7 year old on their first rafting trip. We did the half day adventure, which included Shoshone Rapids. Everyone had a great time! Our guide, Michael, was excellent. We enjoyed getting off the raft and floating after riding the rapids. Everything about this operation felt safe and ran like a well-oiled machine. The photos we... More

I had a blast with this crew! Fun, funny, and attentive. The photos turned out awesome. To bad we didn't get any photos of the bear we spotted! :(

This was a good sign. Our guide was very knowlegable and made the trip an exciting fun, safe adventure for my family including... More

We had a great trip! It started with a well-organized send-off by the friendly staff. Nate was a friendly and knowledgable guide who gave clear instructions and made the day loads of fun. And the DVD of pictures of our trip is a keeper, maybe a source of a Christmas card picture this year.
