Glenwood Canyon Half-Day
Description
If we only had two to three hours to spend on the water and wanted show our friends or family what it's like to experience the thrill of Class III (Class IV at higher water) Colorado whitewater rafting and the beauty of Glenwood Canyon, this would be the trip we'd take them on. And if we only had two hours because everyone had plans after the trip, well, we'd probably cancel them so we could all go rafting. At lower water levels it's perfect for first-timers, families, and people who like experiencing life rather than Snapchatting it. At higher water levels, typically late-Spring thru early-Summer, this experience is best for adrenaline junkies and experienced paddlers in good physical condition and without pre-existing medical conditions.

Very smooth. The water was low so it was more a scenic float but the guide was super fun and made it enjoyable. Would do again!
Fun time rafting down the Colorado from Glenwood Springs with a very experienced guide (Cross) who expertly navigated the rapids and made the trip enjoyable for all!
Our guide Greg was AMAZING!!!! Soo knowledgeable about the river and its history and rock formations!!! We had the BEST time ever and a lot of laughs!!!! Will recommend to everyone!!!
Cannot say enough good things about this company and the experience. All of the guides seemed to have a great personality, our guide was Bryce. He was very friendly and shared a lot of information about the area with us as we floated. We are a family of 5 with kids ranging from 10-16 and they all thought he was great. We went on day 2 of our trip and had a blast. All of our family said we would definitely come back and use this company and we would book an all day trip next time. Cannot recommend them enough. You won't regret your trip!
Great experience with our guide Lilly. Very well run company and safety was emphasized. Highly recommend.
The experience was fabulous! Beautiful views of the mountains, river, and caves (not to mention the guides). Taylor really brought a comedy show all the way onto the water for us. Lovely experience. We highly recommend
Great overall friendly environment. All personnel was great. We had a great time. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and very friendly.
We had an incredible experience on the river with Tucker, he had great knowledge, created fun and it was an amazing way to see the area, we loved it!!
Excellent experience!! This was our first time white water rafting. Bryce was kind, calm, and attentive. He was very knowledgeable and skillful. Learned a lot about the area. Will definitely do this again. Ty!!
Thank you so much for this review! Bryce is one to magnify the awesomeness of the Glenwood Canyon! Glad you had a great time out there.
We had an absolute blast it was the best thing to do the day after my Wedding Reception ❤️ I took my husband, family and friends out on two separate rafts to the best scenic and rapids experience in Glenwood Springs. I think our guide was just a blast 💥
Congratulations! And thank you for including us in your special weekend! Awesome to hear you, your husband, and your family had a great time out there with the Defiance Crew. Hopefully, we get to see you again sometime soon. Our best to you and your hubs! – Gregory and the Defiance Crew
