Rafting the Cache la Poudre River - An Unforgettable Day!…read more Today was nothing short of perfect as we rafted the beautiful Cache la Poudre River with A Wanderlust Adventure. Under sunny skies and with the air at a comfortable 78°F (and the water a refreshing 60°F), we couldn't have asked for better conditions. Our guide, Captain Jack, was not only incredibly knowledgeable but also an absolute blast--his energy made the entire experience even more memorable. We tackled a series of Class I, II, and III rapids with a great mix of adrenaline and fun. By the time we pulled out of the water, we were soaked, smiling, and already talking about doing it again. If you're ever in the area and looking for adventure, this is one to add to your list!

Best afternoon with my boys 18 and 21. Facility and workers were great. Engaging and fun…read more We will be back.

Went with friends really not knowing what to expect, loved our experience here. Got a brief but…read moresuper informative rundown on what we'd be in for and were set up with tubes and safety gear right away. We didn't have a car at the time, the owner even offered to drive us up himself as it wasn't a super busy day. Lovely experience. Kinda surprised reading the 1 stars for this place- for us the tubing was a fairly unsupervised experience but one I think was quite safe given our gear, basic instruction, and a bit of common sense. Don't think I would've had it any other way.

Take a cool ride down the river! Adventure West River Tube is your destination to make the day fun!…read more The single or double tubes have handles to hold on for your rapid ride! The beautiful river that looks like a leisurely ride actually has 7 rapids! They also provide life jackets and a helmet if you choose to wear use them. The river entry point is a 20 min walk with the tube. I chose to pay a few extra dollars and have a van take us to the entry point and skip the walk. You can go down the river multiple times as your price is for the day. It is a couple dollars cheaper on weekdays. Tubing is something everyone should try at least once. The ride down the river in Golden Colorado is exciting and scenic!

I have come to Denver two summers in a row now and plan for it again next year and this is on the…read more"must do" list, not because it is some crazy adventure but because it is fun, and easy, and the people are great! It's super easy: book ahead, you get a tube rental and two rides to the "top" with the price. It's cold, even when it's 97 degrees out! But you get used to it. All ages can do this. If you're nervous, you can get a life jacket and a helmet, but we haven't felt the need to do that. It's NOT a lazy river but it's also not a cat 5 white water experience. It's just fun. And then a plug for the Golden Mills Social Hall afterwards for drinks and food!

They provide wetsuits and water shoes, although your feet are the main thing that gets wet (depending on water conditions). I'd recommend to bring a towel once you get back to the camp for when you change back into your normal clothes. Next time, we'll check out the intermediate portion of the river. Thanks for an awesome time!!

Our guides kept the energy high with jokes, games, and tons of interesting information along the way--there truly wasn't a dull moment. We even got to stop at the hot springs, see some wildlife, and learn all about the area with very detailed but lighthearted explanations. The views were absolutely stunning, and the whole adventure felt scenic and refreshing. Jumping off the cliff was such a thrill too! I couldn't have asked for a better first rafting trip. Highly recommend to anyone looking for an adventure filled with fun, knowledge, and beautiful nature! Btw ask for Big Ben aka ginger grizz

We had a spectacular day out in the water at Clear Creek. In town from TX visiting and we really…read morewanted class 4 rapids we had to settle for the beginner journey. 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.
