Q&A

Q: What if the weather is bad on the day of the rafting trip? Can we reschedule?

A: If weather conditions are unsafe for rafting, River Runners will typically reach out to you to discuss rescheduling options. You can usually pick another date without a fee, but it's best to call them directly to confirm if there's a specific policy. Just keep an eye on the weather leading up to your trip!

Q: Are there any age limits for this rafting tour? Thinking of buying it for my kids.

A: Yes, there are age requirements for the Browns Canyon tour. Generally, participants should be at least 8 years old to go on this intermediate level trip. If your kids are younger, you might want to check out other beginner options they offer. Safety is the priority!

Q: What do we need to wear for the half-day rafting experience?

A: You'll want to wear something comfortable that you don't mind getting wet. River Runners provides wetsuits and splash tops, which are perfect for keeping you warm. Just wear a swimsuit underneath and bring along a pair of old sneakers or water shoes. Don't forget sunglasses and sunscreen!

Just booked the Browns Canyon rafting tour! Any tips?

Hey everyone! I just wrapped up my booking for the Browns Canyon Half Day Intermediate Whitewater Rafting Tour for next weekend. The outpost is in Buena Vista and I’m super stoked! I’ve heard great things about the views and the rapids. It’s $80 per person, but I think it’ll be worth it. Anyone been on this trip? Any tips for a first-timer?

Thinking of gifting this rafting trip! Thoughts?

I've been looking for gift ideas for my partner's birthday and came across the Browns Canyon rafting tour. I know they love outdoor adventures, but is this trip too intense for someone who’s only done beginner rafting? It sounds amazing but I want to make sure it’s a good fit!
