The guide, Taylor, was great and very helpful. The scenery was beautiful! It was a relaxing ride and we did some #2 rapids also. Taylor was knowledgeable about the area. We swam in the Colorado River and put our feet in natural hot springs. We felt safe throughout. An enjoyable experience!

Mudslides and I 70Closed - but still show for rafting- no thanks

Nothing to do with the rafting company as they told me I should contact Viator. They did not offer to refund or rain check my date though. There was a mud slide on 70 so I cancelled my hotel. The route on CDOT said 70 was closed and the alternate route was way north of Glenwood Springs and the news said it was closed. After cancelling my hotel I tried to contact Viator to cancel and no luck. I won’t book anything through Viator or online again unless I speak to the business first. I am Not taking my 12 year old through a canyon with mudslides and a circus show of trying to find some side road that I have to show my confirmation to the police so they let me through the road closure. Just sounds like a bad trip idea all around.
Great time

It was a great day. Brad was a excellent guide with a great sense of humor. My family had the most fun than we’ve had in a while.
Exciting and Fun

We really liked our experience. However, we would have liked a little more white and a little more rapid I think. After the first 30 min, we glided down the River and looked at the scenery for another 1.5 hours. I think we weren’t prepared for how much down time there was. But overall it was good.
First time and ready for the second!

Amazing experience for two 65 yr old first timers and three teenage grands! Our tour guide was awesome, knowledgeable and helpful in every way. We had a great combination of rapids and relaxing floating. Just the right amount of both for first-timers. Challenging if not in perfect physical condition, but doable!
Great time!

We had a great time. The rapids were mild and not plentiful (up to level III), but the entire ride was entertaining and worth the money. It was great for kids, not scary but thrilling enough. The guides were fun, upbeat and full of jokes and fun facts. They are well organized, the gear is clean and in good condition. We would definitely recommend the tour..
Great time on the water!

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
