FAQS: FAQs
\nDo I need any prior experience to go kayaking on this trip?<\/p>\n
No experience necessary. This trip is perfect for first-time rafters, and our professional guides will teach you everything you need to know before and during the trip. Guests with previous rafting experience are welcome too.<\/p>\n
Do I need to bring any gear?<\/p>\n
No specialized gear is required- we provide all the technical equipment you\u2019ll need for your rafting adventure. Just bring weather-appropriate clothing for a Colorado summer day on the river.<\/p>\n
Should I tip my guide?<\/p>\n
Your guides work hard before, during, and after your trip to provide you with a great experience, and while not expected, gratuities are always highly appreciated. If you had a safe, educational, and fun experience, gratuities typically range from 15-20%.<\/p>\n
When does rafting start in Colorado?<\/p>\n
This depends on what you\u2019re interested in. If big, exciting water is what your group is looking for, then high-water season is the best time. Mid-June to early July is traditionally the high-water season. When rivers run at their peak, it can make for a big ride. Keep in mind some sections may close due to high water conditions. Most people enjoy the normal runs in May then late July through September. Water levels and weather are very unpredictable, so book a date that best suits the group and be prepared for the unexpected. There really is no bad time to go white water rafting in Colorado.<\/p>\n
What to wear kayaking in Colorado?<\/p>\n
Avoid cotton, as it gets wet, stays wet, and pulls warmth away from your body. For rafting, we recommend wearing a swimsuit with quick-drying layers like shorts, or long-sleeve and long-leg synthetic (polypro-style) clothing, along with secure footwear that stays on your feet- no flip flops or Crocs. Towels are best left in your vehicle- there\u2019s no way to keep them dry on the raft. Choose fast-drying materials like wool, fleece, polyester, waterproof layers, or other technical outdoor fabrics. Space on the raft is limited, so please bring only what you can wear.<\/p>\n
What to bring kayaking in Colorado?<\/p>\n
Bring a few towels and a change of dry clothes to leave in your car- you\u2019ll be glad to have them after your adventure. Our basecamps have changing rooms for your comfort. Don\u2019t forget sunscreen, sunglasses with straps, a hat for sun protection, and water to stay hydrated in the Colorado Rockies.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
