I had a blast white water rafting down the Colorado River with Mad Adventures. When you arrive to…read moretheir store location it's about 30 minutes of admin stuff before you load the buses to head for the launch point. You fill out the wavier paperwork, get a speech from one of the workers, and go through the line to your life jacket and paddle. They also have shoes for rent if you need them. The bus ride to the launch point is about 30 minutes. The staff do their best to keep everyone entertained while your on the bus; telling jokes, telling you facts about landmarks, and the local area. When you get to the launch point it's about another 15 minutes before you get on your raft. They go through another 5-7 minute speech about the water, how to maneuver, and all the safety stuff (just in case crap goes wrong). Then they split you up into groups and you load the raft. We truly had a blast on the raft and I never felt like I was at risk of injury, or unsafe through the entire ride. From start to finish it was about a 2 hour trip; but it went by really fast. I could have rode the river for at least another 1-2 hours. It was super chill and some of the rough waters (class II and III) didn't last long but made the ride very exciting. We did stop for about 30 minutes at a point where you can jump off a cliff. There is a 25 foot cliff as well as a small jump spot for kids (my 4 year old jumped from the small spot). I did go up to the 25 foot jump (along with about 30 other people). Jumping was not a problem at all because you walk up to the edge and simply walk off for the jump. They don't give you anytime to look around, think, or get scared. 30 people jumped off in less than 7-8 minutes. It felt great!! The ride back to the main store was much shorter; about 15 minutes. Overall we had a great time and it was well worth it.

Expert guides with over 130 years of river experience between their crew. Now on to the water. Starts off a little slow but once it gets going it is on. Several category 3 rapids followed by a bunch of 4's with awesome drops all while navigating big rocks. You end with a nice comfortable float through a neighborhood in Idaho Springs Co. We were on the water for a good hour and half, so I suggest getting the wetsuit package as the water is always 38 degrees. Thanks Mad Adventures Clear Creek for a rafting trip we won't forget!!!

They have a strict age requirement of 14 and our 12 year old made that a challenge. Having done class 3-4 at Royal Gorge I would say this did not disappoint. It was constant and continuous adventure. I would have loved to kept going longer but like all good things they do come to an end. The 1.5 hours was mot too short either don't get me wrong. If you are scared of the cold don't cheap out--get the extra gear to make your experience better. My wife and kids did the gear. Since we were here in July in the water at noon I toughed it out. Don't vet me wrong it was cold and at times what I would have done to be warm. I feel the cold splash is a part of the experience. Sitting in the front I was also glad for a pair of sunglasses. They say this is some of the best rafting they have had in awhile. What really made this exemplary was the staff. They made you all feel like family. Zak in particular was our favorite. He gave the right balance of safety and firmness needed for a guide. He also helped my 70 year old mother in law work through her fears and continue with getting in the raft. She was reluctant as she only has one hand. Zak calmed her and gave her options. My kids also loved the bus driver Max. Not so sure they loved him ao much it was more his dog Willow. If you want a great and safe experience do it with Mad Adventures where they make you feel like family.

Adventures in Whitewater is a great company with great employees!…read more My girlfriend and I went on the Colorado River (Class II to III) rafting trip and had a great time. This was the only option available because it was September and water levels were too low for the other higher class trips. Regardless, we had a blast and our guide Keagan was amazing. After checking in at the office, it was about a 20-25 minute van ride to the launch site. After going through safety instructions, we were on our way down the river. It was a really mellow section with very little actual "whitewater rafting", and more of a float. Keagan was spitting off facts and talking to everyone the whole time which was great. Very informative and personable. Along the way we stopped at a natural hot spring and everyone got out of the rafts and "warmed up" in the warm water. Right after that, we hopped back in the rafts and floated just a little further down to a cliff jumping spot. I can't remember how high it was (approx 40-50ft?) but 5 of us did it. Keagan jumped too, and gave us all instructions on jumping safely. After that the trip wrapped up pretty quickly, loaded everything into the van and headed back. It was a great trip and I'm happy we chose them over some of the larger companies. We always like to support small business when possible. Yes, I would highly recommend using Adventures in Whitewater for your next rafting trip in CO.

More than the name sugests, Boulder Wilderness Shuttle offer some fabulous sightseeing tours…read more(http://boulderwildernessshuttle.com/services_sightseeing.html). I did the day tour of Rocky Mountain National Park highlights and couldn't have been happier. According to many, I was going at the wrong time. I did this tour in the off season (Nov 09). The weather was cold and part of the high road closed; however, in my honest opinion, I couldn't have asked for more. The park was bare of tourists. I got to experience the wilderness without battling the crowds. PERFECT! Mother nature truly puts on a show in the Rockies and thanks to Nick (tour guide for the day) we saw some of America's great scenery. Despite spending the day in the national park I am acutely aware of how little we saw in the grand scheme of things; however, thanks to BWS we couldn't have gotten a better taste of the glory that is the Rocky Mountain National Park (RMNP) If you go in the later months of the year be sure to pack a coat, and (of course!) your camera. We saw natures beauty at it's best from the high snowy peaks to the frozen lakes and grassy plains. The animals came out on show as well; both elk and coyote! Joshua is the man on the ground when it comes to liaising with Boulder Wilderness Shuttle. He kept in touch from the first time I made contact to the days I spent in Boulder. Offering more than just a tour he had great advice on local activites and accommodation. He makes it his business to ensure safety for his clients while providing activities to remember. Boulder Wilderness Shuttle offers an exceptional service and sets a high standard for its competitors. I'll be back!
