About This Trip
Unfortunately we are not planning to raft the Verde River this season due to current closures.
Enjoy a beautiful day on the Verde River and experience fun, splashy whitewater, spectacular canyon views & lots of wildlife!
The Verde River is an early spring river with a short season so be sure to call our office to discuss trip options!
Itinerary
* Please note that all itineraries are subject to change due to river conditions.
Booking Options
Standard Rafts
15 foot self-bailing rafts (up to 10 guests).
We use Oar Boats or Paddle Boats on these trips depending on water levels. Oar Boats, typically used at high water, come with a frame that give the guide more control with oars. With Paddle Boats, typically used at low water, the guide just has a paddle and relies on you to help get through the rapids!
- Ages 4+
Premium Rafts
Experience a smaller guide to guest ratio (up to 6 guests) and a more personalized trip.
Just like the standard option, we use 15 foot self-bailing rafts with Oar or Paddle rig set up depending on water levels. You’ll just have less folks in the boat with you!
- Ages 12+
Per Person
$185
Inflatable Kayaks
Up the adventure level!
This could be you; get ready for a great workout as you navigate your own kayak through the Lower Animas!
- Ages 12+
Per Person
$185

What to Wear & Bring
- Wear quick drying clothes such as a swim suit and nylon shorts. Wetsuits and wetsuit boots are highly recommended all season and available for rent. They easily slip over your swimsuit.
- Wetsuit boots highly recommended. Shoes with a strap that can get wet will work if you don’t mind chilly feet.
- Bring sunscreen, water, hat and sunglasses if desired, and your sense of adventure!

Important Considerations
- Wear your swimsuits under your clothing as there are no changing rooms at the meeting point.
- Wetsuits are highly recommended all season on this snow melt river.
- During high water it is common for us to portage the class IV to V rapid, this will be up to the guide’s discretion.
