Vail Whitewater Rafting

Whitewater Rafting provides a fun and thrilling activity for the whole family. While visiting Vail and Beaver Creek in the summer, you have the opportunity to raft or kayak in one of Colorado's many rivers.

You'll float through gorges and and scenic waterways while navigating through exciting whitewater rapids. There are many rafting companies to choose from. Most have expert guides who are personable and have been floating Colorado's river for years. You can choose between inflatable rafts, duckies, and kayaks as your mode of transportation down the river. However, keep in mind that different outfitters provide different water craft options.

Most whitewater rafting companies offer half-day and full-day trips which take you through the tributaries and waterways of different rivers. The Colorado River offers not only raging rapids, but also access to remote area of Colorado. You may float by ancient dinosaur tracks or antique pioneer remnants. The Eagle River is also a popular river to raft because it is one of the only undammed rivers in Colorado. This wild river provides challenges to even the most experienced rafter. The Eagle River is fed by melting snow, making for a short rafting season that last from May through July, whereas the Colorado River rafting season typically lasts through October.
