About this Experience

What you'll do:

One of our most popular stand up paddleboard trips! This half day Island Tour is perfect for families, corporate outings, or the beginner to get their feet wet. This tour takes you on a paddle adventure around the many lake islands on Dillon Reservoir and is protected within the Frisco Bay area. Escape the crowds! With stunning scenery, abundant wildlife, small islands, and a protected shoreline, you can’t ask for a better area to paddle. These tours depart daily. We recommend selecting the earliest available time because afternoon weather is more variable. Group and private tours available.

  • Scenic and relaxing adventure with calm waters, lake islands, and wildlife—perfect for soaking up nature while staying active.

  • Ideal for all experience levels, especially beginners, making it great for mixed groups like families or corporate outings.

  • Private or group options available, allowing for a fun, customizable experience tailored to your party’s vibe and pace.

Previous Experience

The elevation in Silverthorne is 9,035 feet above sea level and most towns in Summit County share similar or higher elevations. When adjusting to altitude, the body needs to work a little harder. You might experience difficulty sleeping, difficulty catching your breath even during mild exertion, a racing heart rate, nausea, and a loss of appetite. For our Peak Ascents we strongly recommend and encourage clients to spend around 3 days in Summit County or similar elevations prior to attempting one of our higher peaks. Altitude affects people differently, and can affect the same person differently on separate occasions. If you deal with chronic pulmonary, cardiac, or other health issues like asthma, COPD, diabetes, CHF or if you are pregnant you should consult your doctor before your activity. Our guides are trained to recognize altitude sickness symptoms in the field and reserve the right to end the trip at any time.

Should We Tip Our Guide?

Your guide/instructors work hard before, during, and after your course to provide you with a great experience, and while not expected, gratuities are always highly appreciated. If you had a safe, educational, and fun experience, gratuities typically range from 15-20%.

How physically fit do I need to be for this Activity?

Colorado Adventure Guides priority is keeping our patrons and students safe. Our guides and instructors are trained to recognize potentially hazardous situations in the backcountry; they plan and operate accordingly. Prior to the start of any course or backcountry trip you will be asked to complete a brief health history. The failure to disclose pertinent information on the health history form could result in serious harm, even death, to the signing participant, other guests and/or the guide. All information submitted is completely confidential; it is for the guide’s use and would only be shared in the event of an emergency with medical and/or rescue personnel directly caring for the guest. Your ability to enjoy the adventure depends on your health and fitness, thus it’s recommended that you are in good physical condition.

When & how go I meet up with my guide/instructor?
