We're so glad to hear you had a great time with us! Thank you for joining us on the river!

10/10 would recommend!

Kristi_M, Jul 2023

A must do! A perfect combination of exciting rapids and relaxing floats. Strider was great! Definitely no class IVs, but a handful or class III rapids and a few fast spots made it super fun.

Response from Host, Aug 2023

We're stoked that you all had a great time on the river! Hopefully we'll see you back here for early season when we can get you on some Class IV! Thanks for joining us!

Beautiful

Response from Host, Aug 2023

We really love what we do! Thank you all for coming out and joining us!

You have to go. Sounds scarty but it's not. It's fun!

Phillip_T, Sep 2022

This was fun. They hype you up on the way there, so I was a tad nervous. Don't be. There's a great guide and it's pretty manageable rapids. Ed was our guide and we had the best time. It's not all rapids.. you float most of the way. This allows you to take in the scenery and make small talk with your raftmates. One family came all the way from Netherlands! Don't wear flip flops like I did-lol. You'll make a stop at a site where hot springs we're found and it's very rocky to climb around it- if you get in, that is. I wish I would have had shoes on to be able to go closer there. I brought a water bottle. It just stayed in the bottom of the raft. I suppose you could have brought a small bag of snacks too, a waterproof bag. I will definitely be going back! I booked through viator for the online airline miles through. 10/10!! Definitely go. I was with my husband and 16 year old.

Response from Host, May 2023

Thank you for taking the time to leave a detailed review! We're so happy that you got to get out on the river with Ed and check out the hot springs on your trip! We hope to see you all again soon for another adventure!

Rapid excitement

AUTUMN_B, Jul 2022

I would highly recommend this for beginners. The prices are spot on for the memories, fun, laughter and can't forget they do what they do valuing your safety. Our guide Moss brought an extra layer of fun to our trip down the river. Some of us had been rafting before and moat had not both experienced and beginners had an experience they won't forget.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

Stoked to read that you had an unforgettable experience out on the CO river with Moss! He had a blast with y'all, too. We hope to host you again sometime :) Wendy-Anne

Excellent

Luis_M, Jul 2021

Excellent experience. I recommend 100%, they’re very good people, very knowledgeable and friendly. We had a great time.

Excellent trip

James_T, Aug 2020

Fun trip, even though the river is low this summer. Our guide, Chris, was terrific and knowledgeable about the area.

Trip to remember

James_V, Aug 2020

WW LLC was convenient to book, easy location to find, plenty of parking, friendly staff and proper tutorial prior to rafting. LLC was COVID conscious with all involved. Our guide (Rod) was outgoing and answered tons of questions while informing all on interesting aspects of the river. Trip provided some great water (fast and slow) enjoyed by whole family. If on relaxing get-away, 1/2 day works just right if you take noon trip, plenty of time to get there, eat afterwards, head home. Sadly, observed start of wildfire that impacted whole valley.

Awesome Trip!

Mackenzie_R, Jun 2020

My husband and I had a great time! The staff was excellent and so helpful! We went to check in and they couldn't find our reservation (they said they were having trouble with viator bookings) but the staff sorted it out with no problem and made sure we had a good trip! We had a great guide that was knowledgeable and made the the trip superb!

Half day 7/22/19

Cody_P, Jul 2019

My family had a blast ! Road construction was a bummer so we couldn’t make our 12:00 time so they gladly changed our time to 1:00! Our guide CJ was awesome, very informative and nice. He even let my son steer the raft a little bit! We will definitely recommend these guys to anyone!

Fun Day!
