Up the Creek Rafting

My sister and I were in town for the NSS convention, and took advantage of the lowered rates. Great company, good trip, just seemed to cost a bit too much for how long we were on the river, at least compared to what I’ve paid for rafting in California.

If you’re interested in rafting at any level, come here. My husband and I were not and are not experienced rafters AT ALL, but I was able to get down the river without too much trouble, thanks to our great guide. They all have a very laid back-​can-​do attitude and were very aware of the elements. Our guide gave us a good safety lesson and made sure to correct us throughout the trip if he saw us doing anything he thought we could improve upon. Don’t go with the big rafting companies — they’re good for a few reasons, but will nickle and dime you all day — not these guys. We will definitely use them any time we are in the area for all of our rafting and biking needs. Thanks!

I recommend going with this rafting company. They have personalized service with small groups — a big difference from the factory tours. They did a great job customizing the day for us. Oh, and the lunch was amazing. We had a delicious spread of fajitas and home-​made cookies. I saw other rafting groups eating cold pizza.

Excellent trip down the Roaring Fork. Like that it’s a small company. We will recommend to friends.

We booked a rafting trip the morning of, it was really easy. We met our guide in Glenwood Springs, then it was on to the Roaring Fork. The guide gave us a brief safety lesson, taking care to include our five year old daughter. The rafting trip was great and our guide was fantastic. We will use them again for sure!

Love these guys! We went on an all-​day family float trip with our 6 y.o. and 8 y.o. and it was just right for everyone. Mostly Class II rapids, with a final dose of Class III. Mostly just relaxing and floating, but just enough excitement and splashing for the kids to feel like we’d really had an adventure. Not to mention our guide Molly was awesome. Super laid-​back, and open to letting the kids have a little fun on the side with water guns and jumping in when it was deep enough to be safe. The other owner, Ryan, brought us a simple but tasty lunch of kid-​friendly sandwiches, fruit and brownies. Molly and Ryan own the business and put their personal touch on it. We highly recommend this company if you want a «local» experience and not just a college kid in town for the summer!
