We were so fortunate to have them both as our guides. These ladies were pros. So knowledgeable, so strong and so fun!!! They gave clear instructions and guided us through the waters with such professionalism. They would explain interesting facts about the Shoshone River as we floated along certain parts, also on the bus ride they would explain fun facts along the road. Lunch was provided back on the bus which Kya drove like a champ. Highly recommend for anyone looking to have a thrilling Colorado adventure!

Very good communication and guidance during the sign up process and good information provided prior to arrival. The river experience was excellent. Our guides (Anna and Kaitlyn) were informative and entertaining during our 45 minute ride to the drop in near Glenwood Canyon. Our family felt very safe in their hands and we had a lot of fun on this trip. Anna was a fantastic guide and boat captain. After the excitement of the rapids we spent about another 1.5 hours floating and sometimes swimming. Highly recommend for people who haven't done it before.

Sage Outdoor Adventures is hands down one of the most kind, understanding, and family-friendly…read morecompanies we've ever worked with, especially while traveling with a child. I accidentally went to the wrong address because I used Apple Maps instead of Google Maps (which they clearly recommend), and I was so stressed thinking our entire trip was ruined. Instead of making it an issue, they showed us nothing but patience and kindness and made extreme accommodations to take care of our group. All week long, their team was incredibly helpful making sure I had the correct bus reservation for our one-day snow trip from SoCal. They were responsive, reassuring, and truly made the process stress-free. Anders was amazing to work with, and our guide Ben was fantastic, so welcoming, calm, and great to be around while traveling with a child. They made our family feel comfortable and cared for from the moment we arrived. What really stood out was how accommodating they were with our gear, they handled everything with zero judgment and even comped our gear, which meant so much to us. Traveling with a child can be unpredictable, and they were nothing but understanding and supportive. If you're looking for a company that truly cares about families and goes above and beyond, this is it. We wouldn't book with anyone else. Sage Outdoor Adventures sets the standard for customer service and family-friendly experiences.

Some of my favorite memories are when our kids rode the "bull," taking in the beautiful scenic views while it rained on us and, of course, going through the rapids with my daughter.

It's definitely a large operation. Check in for us involved a 100 people or so. But they've got it down. Don't plan to bring much/anything with you honestly. You can choose wet suits, dry jackets etc... It was 75 degrees in July here so our family split between wet suits and dry jackets. The latter was the better choice. You take a 30 minute school bus ride and some quick safety instructions (thanks Erico!) And then get assigned to your boat. Ours included 8 of us and a guide. Honestly that was too much but okay. Our guide was Tristan who was fantastic. Funny and engaging with fun facts along the way. But more importantly you could tell he was taking safety seriously. We did the browns canyon ride and it was a good mix of slightly challenging for the kids and fun for the adults. All in all it was a great way to spend half a day!

Q few notes, all probably already left by previous reviews- 1. First 20 minutes are fantastic. From the first rapids- dubbed Entrance Exam- you will spend 20 minutes of being drenched and hitting fun walls of water. Folks in the front will get wet. Helmets required for these 20, and then they may be removed. Sunglasses stayed in pocket until the rodeo was over. Lots of good Class 3 whitewater! 2. The remainder of the float is a float through the amazing canyons. Put the oars down, and let your guide steer and do the work- much different than all other previous rafting trips in PA. Amazing scenery, and Erin gave us a smattering of history and ecology. Best place to slowly view the beauty of the canyon! 3. Bring a dry bag of you want to bring water, snacks, etc. Odds are unlikely that your boat will flip and send your bag down river. Super fun day. At Boxcar Pool, Erin let the boys stand on the front of the raft while she spun and tried to buck them off. She also let #2 son practice guiding and rowing the boat through a quiet stretch. All other boats also seemd to really enjoy their guides. Of course, merch, photos, etc. are available for sale at the end. And don't forget to tip your guide. They earn it! 5 stars, no questions asked.

HUGE SCAM. Not confident we will get refunded nearly $800 but we are hoping to dispute the charge. This business NEEDS to be shut down.
