Family Rafting Trips in Colorado and Arizona
Take your Family on a Rafting Adventure Vacation in Colorado or Arizona for an Extraordinary Value

Rafting is an activity that all ages can enjoy! On a family adventure trip, parents shouldn’t have to choose between making the adults or making the kids happy. Young kids can ride in the raft with parents without the responsibility or the “rules” of paddling a raft. Teens can paddle as an equal with mom and dad and can share in the excitement of navigating the rapids. Wilderness Aware guides are kids at heart and enjoy creating fun for families.
Our most popular family adventure trips are on the Arkansas River due to the wide variety of trip difficulties and trips lengths available. The Arkansas has a long season, beautiful mountain scenery, and is close to Denver, Colorado Springs, and mountain resort towns..
If you have children older than 12 years old, most of our trips will be suitable and you may want to visit our Whitewater Rafting Trips page to see the full selection of trips.
Remember, you can receive special group rates for families of 10 or more!
