SUCH an amazing experience! Our guide was Nick and he was knowledgeable and funny - I was only going to get just one of the photos from the trip but when we saw the group photos we took we were cracking up because Nick did some hilarious and dramatic poses so we ended up buying the whole package. Also, (and this was the best thing in my husband’s and my opinion) he helped my son feel really safe, even though he was very nervous. In fact, my son volunteered to be in the front of the raft which was such a nice surprise. We all had an amazing time in this beginner course with class III rapids: just enough of a thrill but not scary! My husband and I would definitely return and use this company again. 10/10 recommend.

We just returned from an unforgettable whitewater rafting adventure with Rocky Mountain Whitewater Rafting, and I can't recommend them enough! My family of four, including two young children, was a bit anxious initially, but our fantastic guide, David, put all our fears to rest. He was not only knowledgeable and skilled but also incredibly supportive and fun, making sure everyone felt safe and entertained throughout the trip.

The moderate rapids were exhilarating without being too overwhelming for the kids, striking the perfect balance for a family outing. The scenery was breathtaking, and the entire experience was well-organized, from the safety instructions at the start to the friendly chats along the river.

If you're searching for a family-friendly rafting company catering to thrill-seekers and newbies, look no further than Rocky Mountain Whitewater Rafting. We're already looking forward to our next adventure with them!

These guys did a great job! Very experienced but know how to keep the ride fun and relaxed. We had a great time and will definitely recommend them for any and all levels! Our guide was Nick and it was great to chat with him and hear from him why he loved his job. Love the fact that this is a mom and pop shop with guys that come back to work for them every summer.

We even got a dump in the water and everything they had told us kept us from panicking and Nick did great on getting us to the shore and back in the raft. Thanks guys!

We were a walk up group of 19 and this business welcomed us with open arms. They explained and gave us specific details of what to expect as first time whitewater rafters. Their service was awesome and super friendly. We would definitely book with them again.

We just had a great class 3 beginner ride with our Scout Troop. Our guide Audra was awesome kept us on track and having a blast! Such a great time. I would highly recommend it. We will be back.

Awesome adventure! Mikey was the best guide and let's say they have a smaller fleet than the other rafting companies which gives them in my opinion an edge. They are also great with kids - take a look at the pics

My family had a wonderful time rafting with Josh and his team! It was a highlight of our trip to the Rockies!! Josh was extremely personable, interacting with my four sons throughout the trip. My 5 year old and 9 year old absolutely loved it…too many belly laughs to count! It was “absolutely sick and rad” experience 😎

What a great afternoon on the water. Nate the great and our trusty raft "Pineapple Patty" navigated us safely through the clear and cold rapids of Clear Creek.
Highly recommend for a great Rocky Mountain white water experience. Can't wait to come back and try the intermediate waters. GO TEAM Marmot!
