Fun and adventurous family trip! Our guide for rafting, Shoestring, and his partner Siggie navigated the river as experts. We were complete novices and had a blast! The clifside zip lining was led by Tim and Jesse. They put our safety first and then made sure everyone was having a great time. Lots of memories made on our trip.
Thank you for the fantastic review! We're so glad to hear that Shoestring and Siggie made your rafting experience fun and exciting, even for first-timers! It’s great to know Tim and Jesse made the zip-lining experience just as memorable while keeping everyone safe. Sounds like it was an action-packed trip with lots of amazing memories! We’d love to have you back for more adventures in the future! 🌟🚣♀️🌲
We took our family of 7, ranging in ages from 10-47 on the 6-line zipline tour today with Kale and Tim, and it was GREAT! They were excellent guides, focused on safety and coaching us to be safe while making it fun at the same time! They truly were amazing! Our entire group had a great time and would highly recommend going with Ava and Tim and Kale!

Tim and Joh made our experience safe and very fun. Both guys are awesome at what they do! We will be back! We rafted with Enrique and he was awesome. The lessons he gave us before we got in the water helped us immensely once we got in the river. He made our experience very fun as well!
Thanks for the fantastic shoutout! Tim, Joh, and Enrique will be thrilled to hear they made your trip safe, fun, and memorable. We’re excited to have you back for more adventures soon!

What a fun time! Tim and Connor were amazing zipline guides and were great with our young child. The course itself is very unique - along the mountainside and a variety of lines. Our kids loved racing on the dual one. White water rafting with Rage was fantastic - the views were incredible and we got some action with the rapids without it being overwhelming since it was our first time. Highly recommend going with AVA for your outings!
Thank you for the wonderful review! We're so glad to hear that Tim and Connor made your ziplining experience fun and exciting, especially for your young child.

We really appreciate your recommendation and hope to see you again for more adventures! 🌟🚣♀️
Tyler was the best guide! Reall enjoyed this ziplining! The views were great! What an experience, will do it again.
Thank you for leaving a review! I'm glad you had fun with Tyler; he's an exceptional guide. Come visit us again next season!
The experience was great but be careful I got ripped off by the company: I was quoted a fixed price for 2 events and 2 weeks after I paid for the fixed and agreed by contract price I was asked to pay double what I was quoted and they debited my credit card without talking to me ! I am appalled by this behaviour and no one would call to explain. Do not leave your credit card details to these guys as they will just take your money without asking you!
Thank you for reaching out with your feedback! We strive to give the best service possible to our valued guests. Please feel free to contact us directly to chat.
Had a great time at Idaho Springs. Squirt was our rafting guide and she was great. Danielle and Clay took me zip lining and it was just as fun.
Our guides are well trained in fun and safety! We're thrilled you all have a great time with us. Come back and visit us in Buena Vista for your next adventure. You won't be disappointed!
Tim and Brian were AWESOME! Amazing views from the top of the mountain and we never felt unsafe. Highly recommend!
We are thrilled you had an awesome time with Tim and Brian! Thank you for choosing AVA Rafting & Zipline.
