Tyler was a great guide. All guides were professional, energetic, and lots of fun! I recommend using the duckies when water is low.

We had an incredible experience with Kodi Rafting! Dave and Amy are wonderful owners who truly go above and beyond to make sure everyone has a great time. We booked a group rafting trip for the day after our wedding, and they were incredibly accommodating and patient with our family and friends who kept signing up at the last minute. Every single person in our group had an amazing time. Our raft guides were knowledgeable, professional, friendly, and made the entire experience both fun and memorable. We couldn't have asked for a better adventure to celebrate with our loved ones. We will absolutely be rafting with Kodi again and highly recommend them to anyone looking for an unforgettable experience! read more

All the guides (Tyler, Topher, Pat, Caroline, and Will) were all super friendly and the Owner Dave is an awesome leader. I highly recommend this rafting/kayaking company. read more

Awesome experience with Kodi rafting. We are return customers and had a great time. Our guide Tyler was fantastic, patient with our miss-coordinating forward two strokes and just a great person. His concern with other rafters was evident and showed how much he truly cares about not only what he is doing as a guide, but making sure everyone has a safe and enjoyable experience. Would recommend kodi rafting to everyone! read more

This trip was an absolute blast and Jonas our guide was outstanding! We did Brown Canyon, just two of us and Jonas, and the views were beautiful, the rafting super fun. Jonas knew a ton about the area as well and honestly was a pretty funny guy. Made the trip really enjoyable. We started on time, got picked up on time and everything work great. I absolutely recommend KODI and we will definitely come back. read more

Incredible trip with Chas as our guide. We loved it and our kids had a blast. Will definitely come back! Bailey at the desk was helpful and friendly. read more

KODI Rafting - Rafting/Kayaking Near Me - Buena Vista, Colorado

Booked the half-day numbers trip on the Arkansas River out of Buena Vista with KODI rafting and was thoroughly pleased with the experience. Our trip was a bachelor party and we were Kodi's first trip of the season (May 2, 2026). We were advised that the water levels would be low which would make our trip more technical with the need to avoid rocks that are typically submerged during higher flows later in the season. Our guides Dave, Tyler, and Ry were experts in navigating these waters, and the conditions made for an awesome trip. Everyone on our trip had a blast including those who have never rafted before. Throughout the booking process Amy was helpful and communicative, and was able to field my many questions. Everything we were told to expect is exactly how our trip played out. I've Rafted with KODI before, and they have earned my repeat business whenever I come back to Colorado. read more

Great operation. This is the first time I went with KODI rafting and is by far the best company I have rafted with! Friendly staff, fun tour guide all around great experience! Gracie is a great tour guy. She had us cracking up all throughout the trip. I love the cow zip line story! Lol. read more

We had so much fun on the rafting trip. There are several companies that offer rafting in the area so I wasn't sure on which one to use. After reading reviews and doing some research, I am glad this is who I picked! The guides were all super friendly. "Aussie" was with us and made the trip well worth it. If we come back through Colorado, we are going to come back and see them! read more

Absolutely incredible experience with Kodi Rafting in Buena Vista! The full-day whitewater trip was the highlight of our whole vacation. The river was stunning, the rapids were the perfect mix of fun and thrilling, and everything was super well-organized. Our guide Gracie was phenomenal--funny, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone felt safe and had a blast. Lunch by the river was such a cool bonus. If you're anywhere near Buena Vista, don't miss this. And if you get Gracie, you've hit the jackpot! 10/10 recommend. read more

We did it!! Ten miles of class three rapids. Water was low so we did not paddle hard the entire three hours, but we had fun. The Staircase is seven rapids in a row. There's the widow maker, Toilet Bowl, Pinball and others. Rocks are all around. Josie went over rules, and we practiced on the water. Half way the rapids threw our raft onto a flat faced rock and dumped us. Josie held on, blowing her whistle. That meant for other rafts to pull over and wait. Five of us, three wearing wet suits in the cold water, did what we were told to do. Tho just a little banged up from hitting rocks (thankful for helmets), we lived to tell of our wonderful adventure. Recommend KODI. read more

It is our second time here with KODI- we did the 10 miles of Arkansas River with them five years ago and loved it. Was visiting family and decided we needed another adrenaline rush! Today we had Sam our guide who is also a fellow Southerner. He was super knowledgeable and kind. We would recommend this to anyone seeking a thrill (with safety) at a Grade 3 Rapids Class level. Sam was funny & gave us cheesy stories along the way while also taking time to give instructions prior to the rafting & during it. I don't tell the guides till after the rafting that many years ago I conquered the Zambezi River in Zimbabwe (Grade 5 + rapids); I have been told by the guides both times at Kodi that the Zambezi is like the "mecca" for raft guides lmao but when I did it, I had no idea what I was doing- as it was my first time. These Grade 3 Rapids are still very fun despite my prior extreme experience :) Be sure to dress appropriately- I usually wear a sweat wicking long sleeve shirt and shorts over a swimsuit/bikini with Hoka or Keen Water Shoes. Don't worry if you forget- they have a nice boutique store in front where you can purchase last minute items. Otherwise, Kodi provides Splash pullovers for those people who forget and show up in cotton clothes, along with water booties. Helmets and pfd's are required. The guides make sure they are tight on you. On the ride back home they give you local food suggestions. We went to Buena Viking for some local grub off East Main Street. If you mention your guide sent you, the names get entered into a notebook where the guides can win some good beer and/or grub :) I told the hostess @ Buena Vista that Sam sent us, & she showed me the notebook where right now Sam is winning ha ha (well-deserved) It's wonderful to be outdoors on the water, and our family obviously enjoyed it so much we returned five years later. Would like to do the Grade 4 Rapids with the kiddos in the future once they get up the nerve! Cheers to a wholesome & awesome time with Kodi! (Be sure to prepare cash for tip as these guides often work multiple jobs or mainly this one to help make ends meet) read more

Nine of us ran The Numbers. KODI had everything taken care of and we wasted no time getting on the river. Our guide, Dave, was excellent.

So much fun! ! Our family did the Clear Creek Intermediate Trip in Idaho Springs and it was a blast. Our guide Jett was AMAZING!

Maya a helper watched our youngest and did great while the other 5 of us enjoyed the rafting wine wetness. They have the largest Kodi Rafting garb anywhere! Lol. Owners Dave and Amy are amazing people, glad we got schedule a time due to how popular they are. We were guided by Will and Tyler. Kelly ran us over all the safety tips and was in a different raft and those folks seemed happy with her captain abilities. Chaz drove us safely and quickly to and from checkpoints. Our second time as a couple and first with kids. Doesn't ever seem to disappoint. We will be back!!! Thanks KODI RAFTING for another wonderful life experience. You guys are killing it!!!!! read more

We had the best experience yesterday! Noah was our guide and he was incredible! We had several first timers in our raft and he made everyone feel very comfortable on ride through Browns Canyon.

Would absolutely recommend KODI for their knowledgeable staff and guides as well as their safety mindfulness. read more
