MUST DO EXCURSION! - Awesome experience. Drove a little over 1.5 hours from Denver on vacation and it was totally worth it. Our guide was TREVOR who was phenomenal. Very interactive and informative during our excursion. Knowledgeable about local wildlife and cool spots/things to do while rafting. I highly recommend doing the 30ft cliff jump, very exhilarating and refreshing. Thank you TREVOR and our driver MARTY, we had a blast! 5 stars.

Enjoyable beginners raft 1/2 day - 7 of us did the beginner rafting tour and enjoyed the fabulous scenery. Josh was a great guide, instructing my family members when to paddle. The Upper Colorado was gorgeous. Thank you Josh, Trevor, and Marty.

Very Enjoyable for First-timers - This was our first rafting experience. Our guide Josh was very experienced, knowledgeable, and patient as all 6 of us in the raft including 2 children were first-timers. Since none of us really knew what to expect, Downstream Adventures made the whole adventure straightforward and safe. We highly recommend these folks for a great time!

Loved our float down the Colorado River! - Beautiful scenery and our guide Noah was great! The team was fun, safe, and professional. It's not really a half-day float on the water when you account for the round-trip bus ride, but we had an amazing time. Wear quick-dry clothes.

Must do experience! - The scenery was amazing. Although you have no control over the weather it was the perfect day. Several in our group did the cliff jump and loved the experience. We can’t say enough about our guide, Josh. His priority was to ensure we were having a great time. We would do this again.

Rafting in Kremmling - It was a beautiful day, always a nice breeze. The views were great as well as our guide. The ride to the launch was kinda long and bumpy.
