rafting

Rafting the Arkansas River since 1972; River Runners is one of the oldest, largest and most respected rafting companies in Colorado.

Lunch included with all full day trips. We offer these rafting options: Oar Boats -- controlled by the guide, just hang on and enjoy; Paddle Boats -- everyone participates, your guide calls commands and you respond; and Paddle Assist -- the guide uses oars, you paddle (the best of both worlds).

TRAINING:

Our river guide training exceeds the state requirements in every aspect. We require over 100 hours of training for each of our guides. We have more senior guides with 8+ years experience than any other company in Colorado. Each of our rafting trips is led by a senior guide with advanced medical training.

LOCATIONS:
