We have gone rafting with Glenwood Adventure Co. three times now, and we return because they consistently deliver an outstanding experience. Our guide, Michael, was skilled and friendly, ensuring that everyone had fun. Our grandchildren, ages 3 and 5, had a fantastic time and are eager to return.
We had an amazing time on the half-day Roaring Fork rafting trip with our guide, Becca. She was fantastic, engaging well with a family from California who had young children. The company was professional and helpful, answering my questions about which river suited us best. They made the adventure enjoyable and hassle-free. Becca even recommended a great local spot for lunch, Vicco's Charcoalburger drive-in. I highly recommend Adventure Outdoors and plan to book a horseback riding trip with them soon.
We went on a half-day rafting adventure in duckies, and our guide Charlie was fantastic. The duckies provided a fun and adventurous experience, especially when the water flow is not too high. This is my second year doing this trip, and I plan to return.
The guides were fantastic and very engaging, making it a perfect spot for families. They were knowledgeable and friendly, leading to a fun experience filled with laughter and excitement.
The staff is fantastic. Evan and Brad were excellent at keeping us updated. This was a new section of the river for my friend and me, and it was wonderful. We spotted a couple of deer and even a marmot on a tree branch. We actually got stuck on a rock, but it was fun to get unstuck. Overall, it was an excellent trip. Thank you! I highly recommend them.
This was our first white water rafting experience for four out of five of us, and we had an incredible time. The guides were fantastic, full of local knowledge and very entertaining. Despite the hot weather and lower water levels, we enjoyed ourselves thoroughly. I definitely recommend this as an excellent introduction to rafting.
The staff is knowledgeable, fun, and fully equipped. This company is completely professional, particularly when it comes to safety, and has offerings suitable for everyone.
It was a wonderful experience, truly great. I thoroughly enjoyed it despite feeling that writing a lengthy review is a bit of a burden.
The Glenwood Adventure team was very accommodating, picking us up from our hotel after arriving by train and returning us afterward. The staff was friendly, and we had a fantastic morning rafting under Willie's guidance, who expertly took us down the river twice.
Our rafting group was small, with just four of us, while other rafts had six or more participants. Alex, our guide, was entertaining and provided valuable insights.
