Inflatable Kayak Adventure Colorado River: Half Day Guided Tour
Overview
Available languages
3 hours 30 minutes
Mobile ticket
This section of the Colorado River offers scenic views including meadows, valleys, rolling ranch lands, and steep canyon walls, and wildlife including bald eagles, deer, beavers, and big horn sheep - always something to see.
You can paddle to a sandy shore to greet families of geese, to the edges of huge cliffs, or around smaller obstacles, wherever your curiosity takes you. Go double with a friend, or enjoy solitude in a single-person ducky.
Upper Colorado River Rafting provides mild Class I-II rapids and occasional Class III rapids at higher water flow. If exciting water is what your group is looking for, then early summer is the best time to come. Some years the river is a gorgeous winding float. When rivers run at their peak, it can make for a big ride. Pick a challenging line or choose to skirt it in your own ducky!
Additional Info
Not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries
Travelers should have at least a moderate level of physical fitness
What To Expect
The Upper Colorado River is one of the best river sections in the State to try out river toys. There are several stretches of slow-moving water on our Colorado River trips that are perfect to play around on an inflatable kayak. We run inflatable kayaks alongside guided river trips. An inflatable kayak or “ducky” is a sit-on-top style kayak made of rubber that has multiple chambers filled with air. This offers a more personal experience with the river meaning you will follow your guides but will navigate your own boat down the river. We have both single passengers as well as double-person ducks for those who would like to paddle with a partner. You must be at least 12 years old to use a ducky on this trip. Conveniently located to Winter Park and Breckenridge, Silverthorne, and Dillon, Upper Colorado River Rafting provides mild Class I-II rapids and occasional Class III rapids during years or early season with higher water flow! Feel free to bring the entire family on this journey, as there is sure to be something for everyone. First timer? No problem! Our guides will help you get comfortable with your river craft. The trip is approximately 3.5 hours.

5.00Guide was very cool but also professional at the same time. Had a blast on the rapid sections. We chose the kayaks. Definitely plan on getting wet if you are on kayaks.
Great Upper Colorado trip

5.00We had a wonderful guided trip from Pump-house to Radium on the upper Colorado river. Connor was the Trip Leader and Jake was our kayak guide. Both were great. There was an extended family on our trip that rode in the raft with Connor. All of the guides were good with their small children. We met Jake on Saturday when we stopped by to look around and he was very helpful telling us about trip options and what to expect. We were pleased to find out he was our guide today 8/22. The trip was relatively tame since the flow was only 932 cps but it was still a lot of fun and the scenery was great. This outfitter was very strong on safety and having fun. I’d highly recommend them for your next whitewater trip.
Tanner was AWESOME!

5.00Tanner was such a great guide! He always prepared us for what was coming up ahead on the river, and let us know which side of the river we should stay on to avoid rocks! He showed us all the cool little spots, and let us stop to jump off rocks! :)
