We planned a river rafting half day tour with Timberline Tours, and it did not disappoint. Aside from the breathtaking views, and exciting class 3 rapids...this group of professionals are second to none. From the initial check in, to the outfitting of gear, tour bus down the the landing spot, our guide Quaid and finally the delicious lunch at the end...this is definitely the company to work with. Every single individual we came across with this company was friendly, knowledgeable, professional and always concerned with ensuring we were having the best time. We will definitely book with them again. Thank you! read more

Had so much fun white water rafting with Timberline Tours! They picked us up right at our hotel, got us suited up with gear (helmets and life jackets required, windbreakers, water shoes, wetsuits optional), and then we were off to the rapids. The guides in our group were all super friendly and knowledgeable and made for a really fun experience. Class III rapids felt a bit like a lazy river for the majority of the float , which was a nice relaxing surprise. I hope to come back and try Class IV rapids with Timberline Tours! read more

Did a Jeep Tour with Timberline Tours who was easy to work with and pricing was fair. Ben Hilley was our tour guide (I highly recommend him!!) and we really enjoyed it. Ben knows a lot about the area, wildlife, flora and fauna, and did a fantastic job highlighting points of interest. He was also very courteous and safety conscious. Ben checked all our boxes for the tour: beautiful scenery for pics, finding snow so the grandkids could have a snowball fight, etc. We don't get much snow where we're from so finding some still lying around was a must. Ben went out of his way to show the grandkids (boy-4 and girl-6 - tough ages to keep happy and/or impress!) how to pan for gold, and even helped them "find" some arrowheads! Thanks Ben for going above and beyond!! read more

Great day. Great folks who run the show. We did a class 3 run and it was excellent. Fun, not too hard, plenty of cold water. Our guide Michelle was a great boat leader and host for our float. Worth it... read more

The best!!! Wonderful staff. Really wanted everyone to have a good time. Jeep trips, white water rafting We did both. Very accommodating. Plenty of information I felt very safe The tours were beautiful. Wonderful way to really see Colorado.

We rafted on the Shoshone trip and did the double rapids. What a blast! Our tour guide mike was so much fun! What an adventure! I would highly recommend this trip and will go again next time I am in town! read more

Charlie picked us up at the hotel right on time. We had a wonderful day on our tour and he could not have been nicer. He provided a history of the area we were going to, while giving us a perspective of the impact on the community. We saw fields of flowers on the mountain tops that people say haven't been seen in over 32 years. He was informative about the plants & wildlife and treated us like friends. Cannot say enough good things about our experience. Thanks Charlie for providing a tour that we will remember for many many years to come!! read more

Ben Hilley, took us out on a Jeep tour. He was amazingly informative and interesting. The drive was really fun with the modified jeep. The back seat sat up higher so you could see over the passengers in front of you. It was like stadium steering. He was great at show casing the local flora and explaining the differences in the types of trees and plants. We got to see where the elk had chewed th aspen trees. He is great at customizing the trip to fit your wants. It was also really great to see the different sides of Colorado. It gives you a really good perspective of what Colorado is really like. He gets you out of the tourist areas and out into the real Colorado. read more

I booked a Jeep tour. When our guide picked us up, he asked us what we wanted to do and made some suggestions. We choose to go the Camp Hale route and it was really fun. When they say that this is rugged, they mean it. The moderate route is climbing a mountain on what I would barely call a trail. It was slow going and really, really rocky, but we got used to it fairly quickly and once we got to the top of the mountain it was worth it. Our guide knew a lot about botany and gave us some great information. I had an amazing time and I would love to go again. read more

So glad my family forced me to take this trip. I'm a big chicken and had visions of needing a swift water rescue. Having an accident prone 9 year old didn't help either. We were picked up at our hotel and met up with another two groups. We all traveled on a bus to get outfitted with windbreakers, life vests, helmets and wetsuits. Wetsuits were optional, I chose not to wear one, but I made my 9 year old wear one because she gets cold easy. Very nice bathroom at this stop, and lockers if you want to use them. Next stop was the "put in" and the last chance for bathrooms, but they are pit toilets. Quick lesson in paddling and we were off! We did class 3 Browns Canyon and even though I was terrified half the time, I really enjoyed it. Our guide, Kaja, was from Slovenia. She pointed out tons of things from mountain ranges to rock formations in the shape of animals. She seemed very knowledgeable about the river and I did feel safe. Like I said, I'm basically a big chicken, but in reality it was not that bad. We took a lunch break riverside, no bathrooms, so find a tree or bush if necessary! Lunch was filling, we had sandwiches, chips, fruit, popcorn and quinoa salad. Something for everyone. I cannot recommend this place enough, they took great care of us and provided a wonderful experience. I loved having a female guide, it shows my two daughters you can do anything. Kaja really added to the trip with her friendly demeanor. read more

My family just finished a great vaca in Vail. Timberline's rafting tour played a huge part in making the trip so special. My family of 4 includes myself my wife (not so outdoorsy) and two kids age 12 and 9. We were new to the experience and signed up for a class III rapids tour. The group leaders were Max and Dan and our driver was John. They were extremely competent, experienced, fun and funny. Max piloted our raft and took his time to make sure we had a great time. My son was pretty nervous going into it and came out the other side wanting to go again! All-in-all it was an incredible day on the Colorado River. I'd highly recommend this tour company to anyone in the area looking for a similar adventure. read more

Amazingly fun white water rafting trip out of Eagle!!! They had wet suits, windbreakers, helmets, and booties for us. Really fun crew, and we had great conditions. All around a great time! read more

Great family outing. Seth met us at the hotel and then spent a few minutes getting to know us, getting to know our desires and expectations of the jeep tour and then off we went. Seth was personable, friendly, knowledgeable and quite attentive. The scenery was spectacular. We stopped a few times to get out, walk around and simply experience the surroundings. The pinnacle of the tour was at the peak, above the timberline where Seth took us to an area known for Pikas and Marmot's. I would certainly recommend Seth and Timberline Tours. read more

We took a Jeep Tour with Ben Hilley yesterday through the mountains. It was an amazing experience and Ben is a killer guide. Highly recommended! read more

Waste of money! They promise you more than they provide. Then afterwards they make you look at charges and beg for tips.

My husband and I got married in Vail and spent the week out there honeymooning. We booked a private white water rafting tour with Timberline Tours. It was so nice because we got to soak in the views on the raft while our guide paddled for us. My husband jumped in the water and it was freezing! It was a blast. It wasn't a difficult rafting tour because of the fires that had been occurring, so only level 1 and level 2's were open. After the tour they provided us with snacks and waters. We had a beautiful day. Thank you Timberline Tours for a great time! read more

Best ever! We had so much fun on our Level3 with Kate! Water was amazing, views were incredible and Kate shared tons of interesting info on our trip. Ready for Level 4! read more

Katy K. was amazing. She was outgoing, knowledgeable and funny! She also sang river songs with us during the tour. Made us feel safe and answered all our questions. I'm from NY, I have lots of questions. My fiancé and I plan to return and will be requesting her again! read more

An absolutely incredible experience. Nate was by FAR the best tour guide we've ever had and Maddy did an incredible job as well. Nate knew the right size of boat we needed to have the most enjoyable experience on the class 3 rapids and also knew exactly how to instruct us to paddle so we got SOAKED and had a GREAT time. Honestly, I don't think we'd have had nearly as good of a time with a different company or a different guide for that matter. We had people with zero experience, people who have been on the rapids before, and a friend who can't even swim. Every last one of us had a great time. We will be back, and we will book with the same guide. You should book with this agency and get Nate or Maddy for sure. 10/10 experience. read more

This is your choice no contest if you want to whitewater raft in Colorado! Very professional very nice! Our guide Joaquin is by far the most knowledge whitewater river guide we have ever encountered. His whitewater skills are amazing! Definitely recommend Timberline Tours and will definitely be back!! Thanks for a fabulous fun time and I forget to mention their provided lunch was great Forgot to mention they are True American people no covid bullshit!! Awesome!! read more

My friend and I just wrapped up a rafting tour with Antony as lead guide, Quaid guiding as well, and Phil as safety kayaker. All in all we had a wonderful afternoon- all the equipment we used was in great shape, the whole team was well prepared and very professional, preparing us for each step along the way. The adventure itself was so fun and exhilarating, a great intro into white water rafting for me. I would highly recommend taking a trip with Timberline Tours, wether you're a local looking for a fun adventure, or in town ready to try something new. They have many different options, and are honest and flexible. They also were overall very friendly and had tons of recommendations for the remainder of our time visiting. If you want some good fun, look no further. Thanks for a great afternoon gentleman! read more

We had a group of 19 people from my company go rafting and wine tasting for a team building event. It could not have gone better. I worked with Lulu to plan it and her recommendations were spot on. The Timberline bus picked us up at our hotel which made things simple. The raft guides were personable and knew the history of the river as well. The wine tasting was a fantastic conclusion. Most of the serving was outdoors with a beautiful view on their patio but we did have a barrel tasting inside the winery. This was a five hour event and everyone had a great time! Not sure how we top this next year. read more

We went whitewater rafting on Monday, August 7th near Vail! We had such a fabulous time on our Class III trip. Most of us had gone on a rafting trip several years ago and had a less than great time (with a different company in another state). Our raft actually flipped over. I was nervous to go on this trip. We had a guide that was so knowledgeable and funny that he put me at ease. Peter "The Wiz" Gordon was the guide's name. Of the six people in our party there was also a first timer who was also nervous. She had a smile on her face the entire time. Peter made the trip so enjoyable with his stories of rafting, bungee jumping, camping and biking plus local fun facts and funny, goofy jokes. If you book a raft trip ask for Peter Gordon you will not be sorry. Thanks a bunch Peter! read more

Family of four took the "Numbers" rafting tour with Timberline. The entire experience was spot on from the ease of reserving, directions to the boathouse, equipment (wet suit, etc.) availability and most of all the experience. Our guides hit it out of the park by making the trip fun, informative and safe. We will definitely be back with Timberline. read more

Wonderful company!! They picked us up from hotel, shuttle our dry clothes to the stopping point and fed us lunch. My family had the best guide, Kristy! She was hilarious, helpful, and has a great personality. I would highly recommend to anyone in the area wanting to raft. Plus they take some killer pictures. We bought them all. Thanks for a fun morning! read more

Great experience with the guides in our rafting trip. The facility was also nicer than all other places we have tasted and the busses were very comfortable. The only downside is we didn't get enough time on the river. We did the Shashone Double Thriller and while a fun run we didn't feel we spent a lot of time in the boat. Next time we will choose a longer adventure. read more

We had an amazing time on the jeep tour. Our guides, Ben and Colson were FANTASTIC!!!! Great with kids and told us soany fun facts. We saw wildlife, waterfalls, and so much more! I absolutely recommend this company read more

We booked a tour not quite knowing what to expect, but within moments of meeting Charlie I knew we were going to have an afternoon to remember. His enthusiasm for the area and its history was infectious. Very genuine, knowledgeable and easy to be around, which is really what you want when you're going to be spending a real chunk of time with a stranger. We'd requested views of wildflowers specifically and what we saw was so far beyond what we could have hoped to see; it was magical. We ended up at a vista that let us see for nearly 100 miles in most directions. It was breathtaking. So, Timberline Tours delivered for sure, but I really do have to give a special shout out to Charlie for being an awesome guide that I'd be excited to see again for another adventure. read more

The entire experience was perfect for our family. Rapids were perfect, not too intense and the scenery was amazing. Kate was a great guide- the best. Ask for her on your trip. read more

I can't believe I'm only the second to review this place. Family, girlfriend and I are hanging out in Colorado right now - actually just returned from our rafting adventure. We took on a full-day class 2 & 3 rapids trip in the Arkansas river. For most of us it was our first time going rafting, and there was a slight nervousness in the air on the shuttle ride out to the Timberline HQ where we were to pick up our gear and get set to go. Every single employee that we encountered made an impression. They are all fantastically kind, but it's also incredibly apparent how much they love doing this stuff. They were all excited, and that got us excited, and the excitement replaced the nervousness. We got geared up and rode in the shuttle down to the launch area (I'm sure that's not what it's called, but that's what it is...) and met our guides and got some safety tips. Jesse, as a safety instructor, gave an entertaining and super informative talk about how to avoid getting stuck or knocked around too bad in the river if you fall out of the raft. Our group of seven was lucky enough to have CHRISTIAN as our instructor. I'm capitalizing his name here because if you are booking a trip you NEED TO MAKE A REQUEST TO HAVE HIM AS YOUR GUIDE. This guy is from Chile, and he seems to live on rivers. He talked for the entire three hour tour about the different places he works as a guide (I couldn't stop asking about stuff - he was so friendly). Overall, no one fell out of the raft, we got some goofy pictures, and had a wicked good time. None of us were left wanting for anything at all. A+++ read more

Our Guides, Sean and Clay were outstanding! Very knowledgeable and professional. They made for a great experience and if you have a choice, ask for them by name! We did a whitewater run with a catered lunch. Clay picked us up from our hotel, door to door service. Could not have asked for a better experience. Thank you, Clay Whitehorse:))! You're awesome! read more

My family and I had the BEST Jeep tour with Ben today! He picked us up from the hotel and let us pick the trail we wanted based on what we wanted to see. He was very knowledgeable about the history and nature of the area! He also took great pictures for us and knew what spots would make amazing backdrops. Would definitely recommend Timberline Tours and Ben for your Vail tour needs! read more

With water levels low in September, we did not have a lot of options for rafting locations. Four of us joined a Shoshone Rapids trip with Timberline. I received a couple of emails before our trip and someone called the day before to remind us of the pickup. We were picked up at our hotel (very convenient!) and we then went to pick up our equipment and the raft. All the employees were very professional and it is clear they know what they are doing. Our guide directed us through the rapids without any problems. We would like to return during the spring to experience a different location. read more
