Paddle your own inflatable kayak down the scenic Upper Colorado — same gorgeous canyon, hands-on adventure.
Want to be the captain of your own boat? Our guided inflatable kayak tour runs the same scenic Class II stretch of the Upper Colorado as our raft trip — but you're in your own ducky, paddling under the guidance of a pro. It's a hands-on, get-in-the-action way to experience the river without needing any prior kayaking experience.
You'll follow a certified guide through playful rapids and calm pools, with the same chances to spot bald eagles, moose, and deer along the canyon, plus the riverside hot springs mid-float (water-level dependent). Solo paddlers ride single kayaks; younger paddlers (and anyone who'd rather share the work) can ride in a tandem with an adult.
Same stunning canyon, same clean mountain air — just a little more adventure and a lot more bragging rights.
🚣 Rather Stick to the Raft?Some of your group can ride the Upper Colorado raft trip instead — same river, same time.When you arrive at our Kremmling outpost, your guide fits your gear and runs a paddling and safety briefing — no kayaking experience needed. You'll follow the guide down the river in your own inflatable kayak (or a tandem with a partner).
It's the same gentle Class II stretch of the Upper Colorado as our raft trip — about 3–4 hours of canyon scenery, wildlife, and riverside hot springs (water-level dependent), just with you in the driver's seat.
The Upper Colorado is one of the best wildlife corridors in the state. Here's what to watch for on the water:
None at all. Your guide coaches you through paddling and safety before you launch, and the Upper Colorado is gentle Class II water — perfect for learning to steer your own boat.
A single kayak ($100) is yours to paddle solo. A tandem ($190 for two paddlers) is a two-person kayak — great for younger paddlers, or anyone who'd rather share the work.
13 to paddle your own single kayak, and 8 to ride in a tandem with an adult.
It's more hands-on — you're steering your own kayak instead of riding in a raft — but it's the same gentle Class II water. A fun step up in involvement, not in difficulty.
A swimsuit and secure footwear. We provide the kayak, paddle, helmet, wetsuit, and PFD. Bring water, sunscreen, and a snack for the river.
Our Kremmling outpost at 400 Park Ave, Kremmling, CO.
