Had a fantastic time rafting! Chaz was so much fun and so friendly! This is our second time rafting with Downstream Adventures and would definitely recommend this company to anyone who wanted to raft in Colorado, couldn’t have asked for a better experience both times. Bonus: Easy access from Denver.

See What Folks Are Saying About Whitewater Rafting Denver
Love love loved this experience!!! By far best white river rafting in all of Denver. This is true river rafting right here. Most other rafting businesses don’t have the true experiences of beginner, intermediate, and advanced rafting, typically just baby rafting even for advanced but this company truly is unique and incomparable. You experience many different rapids and even can see mountain climbers and mountain rams all from your raft. It is so much fun and I even had a go pro attached to my head because they had some helmets with the mount on them! They provide everything you need. Just come in dry fit clothing and you’re good! They even have water shoes to rent for only 3 bucks. I’ll will definitely be back to experience rafting again and again. (Also Lindsey is the best captain to board with. I’d ask for her if I was you (;
Had a blast on my adventure with Scooby! Was in town for the weekend visiting and needed something not too far from downtown Denver. Can’t say enough nice things about the overall experience would recommend to anyone looking for a reasonably price white water adventure
This Intermediate trip on Clear Creek was a blast . The Guides were helpful, great rafters, funny and all had a good time. The Creek was at mid range flow, so it was fun without being scary. Being able to have the wet suit, splash jacket and helmet provided was perfect. Thanks Downstream…… The Boys are Back in Town!!!!
What a find! They aren’t as big as some of the other companies, but they are amazing. We felt prepared when we got to the water, after a great bus ride. Our guide was Lindsey, the BEST! Loved her knowledge of Clear Creek, she seemed to know every rock in the water! My husband and I were the only ones in our group that had never rafted before. She coaches us up and we had a GREAT experience. Highly recommend them and will definitely give them our business when we return to Colorado. Thank you!
