I accidentally went to the wrong address because I used Apple Maps instead of Google Maps (which they clearly recommend), and I was so stressed thinking our entire trip was ruined. Instead of making it an issue, they showed us nothing but patience and kindness and made extreme accommodations to take care of our group. All week long, their team was incredibly helpful making sure I had the correct bus reservation for our one-day snow trip from SoCal. They were responsive, reassuring, and truly made the process stress-free. Anders was amazing to work with, and our guide Ben was fantastic, so welcoming, calm, and great to be around while traveling with a child. They made our family feel comfortable and cared for from the moment we arrived. What really stood out was how accommodating they were with our gear, they handled everything with zero judgment and even comped our gear, which meant so much to us. Traveling with a child can be unpredictable, and they were nothing but understanding and supportive. If you're looking for a company that truly cares about families and goes above and beyond, this is it. We wouldn't book with anyone else. Sage Outdoor Adventures sets the standard for customer service and family-friendly experiences.

THRILLING AND FUN!!! What a rush! Our driver Kya picked us up at our hotel then headed to the…read moreboathouse to meet up with our guides Elaine and Anna. We were so fortunate to have them both as our guides. These ladies were pros. So knowledgeable, so strong and so fun!!! They gave clear instructions and guided us through the waters with such professionalism. They would explain interesting facts about the Shoshone River as we floated along certain parts, also on the bus ride they would explain fun facts along the road. Lunch was provided back on the bus which Kya drove like a champ. Highly recommend for anyone looking to have a thrilling Colorado adventure!

Very good communication and guidance during the sign up process and good information provided prior to arrival. The river experience was excellent. Our guides (Anna and Kaitlyn) were informative and entertaining during our 45 minute ride to the drop in near Glenwood Canyon. Our family felt very safe in their hands and we had a lot of fun on this trip. Anna was a fantastic guide and boat captain. After the excitement of the rapids we spent about another 1.5 hours floating and sometimes swimming. Highly recommend for people who haven't done it before.

In the midst of…read moreCOVID, the entire Mad staff did an amazing job ensuring all protocols were in order to keep everyone safe which is very important during these times. We had a party of 10: 7 adults & 3 kids and we all had such a great time. Quick heads up for those planning to make a trip here - our check in time was 8:30am and we didn't get on the water until about 10-10:30am. During that time, the staff gears you up with equipment and very important information before heading out to the water. After that, the bus drive over to the water is about 25 mins. You're out on the water for about 1.5 hours - and we got back around 12:30-12:45pm. This is really important for anyone planning time wise! All staff members were incredibly kind and helpful! Our guide on the bus was Emily and was such a joy to have, not to mention, absolutely hilarious! Our boat guide was Joe, who we absolutely adored! He had such high spirit and also had a bunch of great facts throughout the ride. Every single one of us thoroughly enjoyed our time and we hope to do this again next time we are in CO, and especially under better circumstances. Highly recommended!

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.

He took great care of us. Schaffer was hysterical and had us all at ease immediately, laughing and joking along the way. The local beer and chips at the end hit the spot for us!

I was part of a small group that did a full day trip with Glenwood Canyon Rafting last Saturday…read more Although I'd been canoeing in whitewater rivers many times I hadn't ever been rafting, not sure why it just hadn't worked out. After arriving in the morning we were outfitted with PFD's and helmets, then given a good talk about safety. Next we jumped on a bus headed up Glenwood Canyon to the Shoshone exit, about 10 miles up river from where we started. By far, the best part of the day was the first half hour or so. Lots of action right from the jump, and lots of me wandering why in the hell I hadn't done this before! There was a good deal of paddling to do in that first part, but it was way more fun than effort. Since we only had 5 in our group we were able to go out on the 14 footer instead of one of the bigger 16 foot rafts like the others on our bus. This let us go through a couple things they couldn't, and overall offered a little more exciting ride. After the first bit it was mostly a float trip with only a few spots for paddling. This allowed our great guide Otto to regale us with tales about the river, the area around it, and the people that work on it. Along with a few other choice stories that you'll have to get from him sometime, if you're lucky enough to get him as your guide too. After 10 miles on the river we arrived back to the boathouse and had lunch, which comes with the full day trip. It was WAY better than anyone in our group thought it would be. Burgers, hot dogs, chicken, and pulled pork with all the fixin's. Water and lemonade were included but if you wanted a pop or a beer they had them available for purchase inside. After lunch it was back on the river for a very chill 7 miles of mostly floating. The only wrinkle we hit was some fairly hard rainfall, which did soak us pretty good but didn't dampen our experience one bit.

Amazing time, definitely recommend. Wyatt was out tour guide, and he was the best! Extremely…read moreknowledgable, humorous, and friendly. Loved the Shoshone portion. Definitely worth it !!
