Awesome Sauce-ness! - What a great time on the water! We did a full day with lunch and loved every minute. The entire tam at Defiance was great but special shout-out to our guide, Rob. Ask for him by name if you want to smash some waves!

Summer Rafting on the Colorado - Great experience and a great time. Jaime was our guide and he was great! He was experienced and knew the course well. Very knowledgeable. I would suggest a rafting trip with Defiance if you are in the area.

Double your fun with Double Shoshone - Search no more, you have found your raft company and your trip. Why only go down the rapids once, when you can go twice? Thinking about white water for the first time? Look no further, this is the perfect time of the year for you to go. Once you go White Water - you will never go back. The time on the water is ideal. The guides are top notch; we’ve been with both Mike & Taylor.

Excellent time with top notch guides! - Excellent time with experienced guides who gave good safety information and made first timers like myself feel confident and safe. They were also very funny and had lots of information about the things we saw along the river. Highly recommend this rafting company!

Customized Trip, Refreshing Customer Service - Seriously the best rafting experience in our 10 years living in Colorado. The owners were incredibly helpful and patient during booking, answering all of my questions. We had a group of ten ranging from first time rafting at 11 years old to very experienced at 59 years old. We were broken up into two rafts with very kind, personable and knowledgeable rafting guides. We had a blast, enjoying fantastic views. The customer service was what will take us back to Defiance Rafting.

The best!! - We loved Defiance Rafting! Two of the four people in our group, it was their first time ever whitewater rafting and now they are hooked! Our entire group had a blast. The office staff were very helpful and friendly and made sure that we were properly prepared. Our tour guide Mike was outstanding and so much fun! We will definitely raft with Defiance and Mike again. :-)
