He was super personable, fun, gave clear instructions, and made us feel very safe on the river! All of Aspen Whitewater Rafting took great precautions to ensure social distancing from beginning to end. They coached when to wear masks, wear to sit on the busses, and kept the groups separate when getting ready for rafting. Would hands down do this again, but would come back for Class IV instead! It’s a beautiful summer in Aspen, so this is definitely the time to try out rafting! read less

Following our adventure, I reached out to them directly as I was having difficulty locating our photos from that special day. Jim was a lot of help on the phone and made the process a breeze. If you are in Aspen, don’t miss out on having some fun with Aspen Whitewater rafting. It is an experience you wouldn’t want to miss! read less

The Class 2 rapids were perfect for those in our group who were first timers, but it was still a blast even for those who are used to Class 3+ rapids. Colby was a great guide, he was helpful and conscious of all skill levels and told the best jokes as we were making our way down to the bottom. All of the staff were the perfect mix of professional and fun. So happy with our trip, we will definitely come back! Thank you to the AWR team for making this experience so fun and memorable! read less

We did the level 2 and he made it so exciting and fun for the girls. We had a few dips which was perfect for us. The float down the river is so relaxing and beautiful. I was anxious about a rafting trip but I would definitely do it again. And I would ask for Chris. Thanks for a great time! read less

Not only are they professional and reasonably priced, but so safe and fun at the same time. Our adventure of whitewater rafting on the Roaring Fork River could not be beat. From booking our trip, to our shuttle pick-up, to the fun adventure down the river, snacks and shuttle back to our hotel’s front door! We had 2 boats and they did an excellent job keeping us close enough to heckle each other, but distanced enough to get the full experience and adventure! What service and amazing experience these guys/gals provided!! You can tell they love doing this, and do a great job of a priority of safety first!! – but well balanced with so much fun!!!! We all know more about the safety of being on-river now, and we had such an enjoyable weekend because of it – all Thanks to AWR and their great company of guides and staff! Thank you for an amazing adventure! We will return!!! read less

Dave was our guide on our boat, he was excellent. He knew his stuff. read less
