Guided River SUP Tour | Half Day

SUP on a Colorado riverTake your paddle boarding to the next level by trading flat water for a flowing river! We start in a calm section of the Upper Colorado River to fine-tune your balance.  Then we ride the current downstream with plenty of opportunities to practice new skills along the way.  This stretch of the Upper Colorado offers mild Class I-II rapids and occasional Class III waves when water levels are high. Paddle past towering canyon walls, open ranch lands, and keep an eye out for wildlife.  Sightings have included bald eagles, beavers and mountain goats.

All SUP trips run alongside our Half Day Rafting Trips, and we provide everything you need: board, paddle, helmet, and PFD (life jacket).

New to SUP or paddling on a river? No worries- our expert guides make it fun, helping you feel confident on the water from your very first stroke.

Price:  4 Hours: $105 per person | Ages 12+

Check In: Meet at our Rancho Del Rio Boathouse at 4199 Trough Rd, Bond, CO 80423 (please arrive 30 minutes early)
