The most important way to ensure a safe and enjoyable Colorado whitewater raft trip is to have an experienced raft guide controlling your boat. The Adventure Company is Colorado’s original guide service that does not hire 1st-year guides. Always willing to go the extra mile to ensure your safety, once again, we have raised the industry standard. We are Colorado’s only outfitter to exclusively provide you with guides who are, at least, in their fourth year of professional guiding! Our guides’ average experience is 7 yrs. Unheard of in today’s industry! Not only do we have the most experienced raft guides, but our trips are packed with top quality features!
EXPERTS IN OUR FIELD
We are extremely proud to be one of the few Colorado whitewater rafting companies capable of offering “expert” raft trips (class V). This is only possible because of our experienced guides’ skill, high performance equipment, and unwavering commitment to safety!
OUTSTANDING SAFETY RECORD
The Adventure Company has maintained one of the best safety records amongst all whitewater rafting outfitters by making safety our highest priority, hiring the most qualified guides, and stressing preparedness through constant training.
DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY
We are Colorado’s first rafting company to bring you the benefits of digital photography with our own on-site digital photography service.
Our professional photographers capture amazing whitewater rafting action and some interesting facial expressions, for memories that will last a lifetime. After your trip, we will display a slideshow of photos taken of your raft on our state-of-the-art computer and LCD display system. You then have the option to purchase digital, archival prints (5×7 or 8×10) and/or a CD of all the photos taken of your raft. The Adventure Company does not copyright these photos, so you can do what you want with them!
EXCELLENT EQUIPMENT
No compromises here! Our equipment and vehicles are regularly cleaned, maintained, and updated. We maintain the newest fleet of high-performance, self-bailing rafts. Our wetsuit rental gear is meticulously cleaned and sanitized after each use.

Nobody is more committed to providing our clients with a healthy variety of fresh food than The Adventure Company. We provide our guests with delicious and hearty meals that have enough diversity for even the pickiest eaters. All full and ¾-day trips include our famous “ULTIMATE FAJITA BUFFET” hot lunch.
