5.00This was my wife's and my 3rd time rafting with Blue Sky Adventures, Our last time here was 8 years ago. They are in a new facility since we were here last (since 7 years ago), but they provided all of the same combination of fun, excitement, and safety that we experienced in our previous trips with them. They have a great variety of experiences to choose from. We did the half day trip down the Colorado River. Besides our guide, "Mudflap", there were 7 of us in the raft. The youngest was 5 and the oldest was 70, with varying levels of experience from those who had never been in a raft to my wife & I who have rafted many times. "Mudflap" did a great job of making us all feel safe and made sure we all had a great time. I absolutely recommend making a Blue Skyy Adventure rafting trip part of your Glenwood Springs experience.
Lots of fun!

5.00Amazing trip with Allen! Great for a family of five, ages 5+. This was a three hour trip. Rapids were enough to make if fun, but nothing scary. We would definitely go again!.

5.00Great adventure for our family/friend vacation! Kids aged 7, 8, 11 and 12 loved it. Allen was a fantastic guide and made it fun for all of us. Best part is definitely the first 15-20 on the river through the Shoshone rapids, then pretty mellow afterward, but that’s just the way the river is. Do this for the adventure, the incredible views, and the hot summer cool down (swimming in the river allowed in a few spots)!
Highly recommend Blue Sky Adventures

5.00Top notch outfitter and an overall excellent experience. Blue Sky is extremely organized and provides a safe and exciting trip for the entire family. Everyone should experience a float down the Colorado River while in Glenwood Springs.
Loved this company and Aubrey

5.00Aubrey was our guide and she was AWESOME. Loved her. She was knowledgeable and in confident. She kept us safe and we had a GREAT time. A very cool woman who I was glad to have lead our crew. My husband and two boys had a great time, as did I. Blue Sky’s lucky to have her.
Best time ever!

5.00This was a first experience for my husband and I and we loved it! A bucket list goal completed. The Colorado River was beautiful and the scenery spectacular. Our guide was Aubrey, and she was jyst fab. She provided lots of information including safety procedures, she provided info along the route of the 10 mile stretch and we felt very safe in the raft. I would highly recommend Blue Sky Tours. Perfect from start to finish. Thankyou. Jackie & Andy
