Raft the high waters of Spring snowmelt
May through June is the prime time for whitewater rafting. Spring snowmelt swells the San Juan and Piedra Rivers and whitewater adventures abound! We offer a variety of trips to fit any schedule or budget.
"Splash and Dash" This quick intro to rafting is a great trip for testing the waters or those on a limited time budget. A relaxing start a few miles above Pagosa is followed by fun splashy man-made rapids right through downtown Pagosa. This trip takes 1.5 to 2 hours, including transportating time to and from the river, depending on water levels.
"A Family Favorite" Our most popular raft trip launches just a few minutes upstream from our shop. Splashy whitewater, gorgeous scenery, and abundant wildlife make this half-day escape from civilization a fun float for the whole family. Bring water and a snack for the short stop halfway through the canyon. This trip takes 3.5 to 4.5 hours depending on water levels.
"High Country Adventure" The action begins immediately after putting on at our private river access just above the confluence of the East and West Forks. Smaller boats and aggressive paddling are required for a safe descent of this technical and busy section of river. When we started offering these trips in 2010, almost every seat on every trip was filled. We run these trips in a limited capacity for safety and to minimize impact, so book early to reserve your spot!
