Q&A

Q: What age do you need to be to go whitewater rafting on the Upper Clear Creek?

A: To participate in the Upper Clear Creek rafting, riders typically need to be at least 12 years old. However, it's always best to check with AVA Rafting, as they can provide specific guidelines based on current conditions and safety protocols. If your gift recipient is younger, it might be better to look into other family-friendly activities or rafting options.

Q: Is there an age limit for participating in this experience, and can I reschedule if plans change?

A: The minimum age is generally 12, but kids under 18 need a parent or guardian to sign a waiver. As for rescheduling, AVA is pretty flexible! Just give them a call at least 48 hours in advance, and they’ll help you find another date that works.

Q: What should I wear for the rafting trip? Is it going to be cold?

A: You'll get a wetsuit and a splash jacket included, which will keep you warm during the rapids! Just wear something comfortable underneath—like a swimsuit or athletic wear. Water shoes or sandals with straps are a must! Depending on the season, it can be chilly, but the gear helps a lot.

Just booked the Upper Clear Creek rafting for my boyfriend's birthday!

I'm so pumped! It's a half-day trip, and it sounds super thrilling. I know he loves a good adrenaline rush. The price is pretty great too since it includes all the gear like wetsuits and helmets. I just hope he can handle the Class IV rapids, lol. Any tips for making the most out of the day?

Anyone been whitewater rafting on Clear Creek? Need advice!

Thinking about gifting this experience to my sister and her boyfriend since they love outdoor adventures. Are the rapids really as intense as they say? How do the guides handle everything? I want to make sure they're safe but also have a blast!
