Guided Blue River or Colorado River Rafting: Half-Day

About this Experience

What you'll do:

This guided rafting trip on either the Upper Colorado River (Beginner/Class I or II) or the Blue River (Intermediate/Class III) is a favorite way to connect with friends and family while enjoying Colorado’s natural beauty. The rivers wind through a diverse landscape of meadows, valleys, ranch lands, and dramatic canyon walls, offering stunning views along the way. Wildlife sightings are common, with bald eagles, deer, beavers, and bighorn sheep often making appearances. The rapids on the Upper Colorado River are mostly mild Class I-II, with occasional Class III waves during higher water flows, making the trip suitable for a wide range of ages and abilities. The Blue River is a splashier, faster trip, with more coordinated paddling required. Both adventures are fully guided, allowing you to relax and soak in the scenery. It's an exciting and fun way for groups to experience the beauty of Colorado's outdoors together.

Why we love it for your party:

  • Scenic and wildlife-rich landscape offers a shared experience of nature that’s both relaxing and exciting.

  • Family-friendly rapids make it safe and enjoyable for groups with varying ages and adventure spirit.

  • Fully guided adventure means no stress—just paddling, laughter, and quality time on the river.

Our tour guides Corbin and Dustin absolutely MADE this float! They were hilarious and fun and had everyone laughing from start to finish. Specifically, Corbin directed our float and he is just a total vibe. We immediately appreciated his big smile and belly laughs. These two are 100% meant for this trade and you can tell they live for it! Thank you for this amazing experience!

Our Girl Scout troop had a really great experience with this company. None of the girls had ever rafted before, so we picked a beginner trip with mostly class II rapids. Our guide Dustin Surber made everyone feel comfortable.

Phenomenal experience. Tanner was hilarious and great at introducing everyone to the crew and the rules of rafting, Jake was great driver and had stories to tell, and Dustin was a otherworldly guide who knew how to expertly raft and guide us, along with sharing his knowledge about the Colorado River and cracking good jokes. The rafting was fun, if not cold!
