  Very Scenic & Fun!!

  We arrived at the rafting guide house at 12:30 pm and met up with “Joe” who owns the company and is a “one man band.” He says he has been rafting for 51 years and it showed! He handled the Colorado river with steady maneuvers. He pointed out scenic views and taught me what an “eddy current” is in the river. The three of us sat in the front of the raft with our 2 dogs. Joe used 2 oars and navigated behind us. None of us had to row which was nice as one of our dogs kept wanting to jump into the river. 😂🤭. Our other dog sat calmly at our feet and did not know what to think of this excursion. 👀😀Joe supplied the life vests for each of us, dogs included. We did one stop along the river to stretch our legs. The river was unusually high and lots of wind so our river float went quicker than most. There was mostly calm spots with a few fun Class 2.5 waves that got us a little wet along our sides. We were done rafting in about 2 hours. Definitely a family friendly 🏠and dog friendly🦴🐾🐶 experience that we will always remember.

  Awesome experience for pup!

  My husband and I took our 1 year old pup on a private rafting trip. The guide was awesome and the trip was tailor made for our pup. She had a chance to swim in the water and loved the rapids! Needless to say, our water baby was in heaven!

  Unique experience

  Joe made a perfect day for me and my pup. He is crazy for swimming but this was a new experience to be in boat. We also made a stop for swimming and playing. I enjoyed in conversation with Joe and beautiful and peaceful surroundings.

  Perfect Trip Down the River

  What a perfect day! Joe (our river guide) created a magical experience for my friends and my 130lbs Great Dane. They even had a life vest that fit him! At first, I was apprehensive to book because my dog doesn’t LOVE water but he ended up having a great time (and even played in the river). Joe shared info about the river, wildlife, and stopped at a beach so my dog could play. We couldn’t have asked for a better day. I’m so happy I booked!

  perfect

  We couldn't have asked for a better experience with our two boys (16 & 20) and our year old Aussie. Ian graciously provided us with his own dog's life vest, and we had to book the raft for a private tour. Well worth the experience. Our dog had the opportunity to swim, my boys paddled their own boat, and my husband and I drank in the beauty and the history. Wonderful!!!
