Top tips
Here are our top tips for finding the best holiday deals on whitewater rafting adventures for you!
- Busy dates book the fastest!
- There are certain dates that sell out without fail – Memorial Day & Fourth of July are our most popular dates, and the month of June is our busiest month! If you are interested in celebrating a holiday or special occasion, this sale is the opportunity to secure your spot!
- Gift Certificates are the best kept secret of the sale.
- If you have a trip in mind but aren’t sure on the dates (or maybe you know the dates but can’t decide on the river), you can get the exact amount and just book it later when you have your plans squared away. Keep in mind you do need to call (970-247-4789) or LiveChat (bottom right corner) us for Gift Certificates, since our promo code won’t run automatically online like it will when booking trips.
- Not sure how to decide? We get it, it’s hard to choose a favorite! We have a handy guide that can help you find the right adventure for you – read our multi day guide here.
