Our most difficult, extreme whitewater rafting trips navigate steep sections, technical moves, and big drops. When you’re heading into an experience like this, you want to know you’ve booked a trip with the most experienced outfitter and guides. In our 19 years of operation, running these Class IV and Class V whitewater trips has become our specialty. We’re focused on providing the safest, highest-quality trips with the most mind-blowing fun you can have.
On the Arkansas River, brave The Gauntlet through Pine Creek and Numbers, the only true Class V rapids on the Arkansas. Hit the Lower Canyon on Clear Creek for non-stop, blasting whitewater in a tight canyon close to Denver. And the ultimate challenge for extreme whitewater rafting in Colorado is Gore Canyon. Only for serious paddlers, this trip only runs in August and September.
AVA offers 2 zipline courses (one set on 44 acres, one on 9 acres) that add screaming fun to your day. Package them with our most advanced whitewater rafting trips for an unbelievable day (or days!).
