Performance Tours was established in 1986. We are licensed by the State of Colorado, and we pride ourselves on offering what we consider to be the best possible whitewater rafting experience available.

Our excellent safety record and emphasis on customer satisfaction have made us one of the most popular, trusted, and highly respected companies in the business. We invite you to join us this summer for a memorable Colorado experience!

We offer family adventures to extreme adventures on three different rivers. The Arkansas River is the most popular river in Colorado, offering some of the best whitewater rafting in the nation, with spectacular mountain and canyon scenery. There are exciting class 3-4 runs suitable for first timer and seasoned rafters, as well as adrenaline pumping class 5 whitewater for those looking for the ultimate advanced whitewater challenge. The Blue River is an intermediate class 3 run with incredible alpine scenery. The upper Colorado River offers class 1-2 rafting with very mild rapids.

GROUP DISCOUNTS are available for 10 or more persons. Group organizers for 14 or more persons, raft FREE! We take many large groups (businesses, conventions, churches, youth groups, and family reunions) down the river every summer.

CONVENIENT LOCATIONS offer full service offices, featuring changing rooms, bathrooms and rafting related retail items, including photos of your trip.
