They made everyone feel safe the entire trip. Alex, our boat's guide, in particular connected with every member of the boat...and had some truly horrible jokes (which are the best kind).

This was our 7th rafting experience and our favorite! Thanks for providing us a day to remember. (There is not an option to get pictures but our guide made sure to take a few at lunch. Also, if you get cold easily, take the splash jacket...especially if you're in the front of the boat!)

We leave Steamboat tomorrow morning and our plan was to take our 12-year old daughter to the ski…read moreresort, get her a ticket and let her enjoy the activities around there. Last minute she decided she could do that kind of stuff anywhere and that we should go kayaking down the river. I had kayaked 3-years ago with these guys and absolutely loved it. I kept asking my daughter if she wanted to go and she assured me she did. We had an amazing trip this morning. Marty was both kind and professional, super aware of all things Steamboat. He was a great guide and teacher. It was my daughter's first venture into kayaking and he did an excellent job teaching, correcting and encouraging her. Enjoy the beauty of Steamboat by kayaking with this team of great people!

I had a blast white water rafting down the Colorado River with Mad Adventures. When you arrive to…read moretheir store location it's about 30 minutes of admin stuff before you load the buses to head for the launch point. You fill out the wavier paperwork, get a speech from one of the workers, and go through the line to your life jacket and paddle. They also have shoes for rent if you need them. The bus ride to the launch point is about 30 minutes. The staff do their best to keep everyone entertained while your on the bus; telling jokes, telling you facts about landmarks, and the local area. When you get to the launch point it's about another 15 minutes before you get on your raft. They go through another 5-7 minute speech about the water, how to maneuver, and all the safety stuff (just in case crap goes wrong). Then they split you up into groups and you load the raft. We truly had a blast on the raft and I never felt like I was at risk of injury, or unsafe through the entire ride. From start to finish it was about a 2 hour trip; but it went by really fast. I could have rode the river for at least another 1-2 hours. It was super chill and some of the rough waters (class II and III) didn't last long but made the ride very exciting. We did stop for about 30 minutes at a point where you can jump off a cliff. There is a 25 foot cliff as well as a small jump spot for kids (my 4 year old jumped from the small spot). I did go up to the 25 foot jump (along with about 30 other people). Jumping was not a problem at all because you walk up to the edge and simply walk off for the jump. They don't give you anytime to look around, think, or get scared. 30 people jumped off in less than 7-8 minutes. It felt great!! The ride back to the main store was much shorter; about 15 minutes. Overall we had a great time and it was well worth it.

LOVED OUR PADDLE BOARD ADVENTURE!…read more We went to pearly and hoping that we would have brought our boards. Thanks to paddle-board adventure, we were able to rent the board right at the lake and were able to enjoy our day to fullest. The employees were super-helpful and the guy at the tiki was extra vigilant to ensure the safety of his customers. The renting and returning was breeze because the employee were transporting the rental to and from the shore to their tiki. Overall, I would highly recommend going to pearl lake state park and give these guys a try :)

Adventures in Whitewater is a great company with great employees!…read more My girlfriend and I went on the Colorado River (Class II to III) rafting trip and had a great time. This was the only option available because it was September and water levels were too low for the other higher class trips. Regardless, we had a blast and our guide Keagan was amazing. After checking in at the office, it was about a 20-25 minute van ride to the launch site. After going through safety instructions, we were on our way down the river. It was a really mellow section with very little actual "whitewater rafting", and more of a float. Keagan was spitting off facts and talking to everyone the whole time which was great. Very informative and personable. Along the way we stopped at a natural hot spring and everyone got out of the rafts and "warmed up" in the warm water. Right after that, we hopped back in the rafts and floated just a little further down to a cliff jumping spot. I can't remember how high it was (approx 40-50ft?) but 5 of us did it. Keagan jumped too, and gave us all instructions on jumping safely. After that the trip wrapped up pretty quickly, loaded everything into the van and headed back. It was a great trip and I'm happy we chose them over some of the larger companies. We always like to support small business when possible. Yes, I would highly recommend using Adventures in Whitewater for your next rafting trip in CO.

The ride went smooth and we were able to hit class III and IV rapids on Clear Creek for about 13 miles! It was affordable and great for the whole family.

Bill was our guide and he was friendly, personable, and reassuring throughout the entire trip. They had these inflatable kayaks that they called duckies that can fit 1-2 people, and you paddle along after the raft. We switched off between all of us and our two kids ages 8 and 12 even had a go of things in the duckie, and I felt they were safe even though they were definitely not the best paddlers, given Bill's watchful eye and directions on paddling! Bill also pointed out wildlife, good spots to jump in the river and swim, and places were could float in our life vests in the current downstream. Had such a great time, even though the rapids had downgraded to only class 1-2 by the time we went in late July. The rapids still provided plenty of excitement for us all, especially in those duckies! Definitely go with this group--they were great!
