Company description
Lakota Guides has been giving high fives & whitewater rafting trips in Colorado since the late 1980s. Despite the different rafting conditions each year, Lakota’s mission remains the same; Safety Is Our First Priority, But Fun Is A Close Second!
Located near the world renowned ski areas of Vail and Beaver Creek; Lakota Guides provides white water rafting adventures all summer long.
Operating on the Eagle, Arkansas and Colorado Rivers, Lakota Guides provides the best variety of whitewater rafting experiences available.
The Eagle River offers both Class II-III. Family trips and more adventurous Class IV whitewater rafting is available during the months of May and June.
Guests looking for a more aggressive rafting adventure on the #1 most sought after river, the Arkansas River, can enjoy Class III to Class V experiences from June through August.
However, there is nothing more memorable than a classic family float trip down the Colorado River. The largest watershed in the entire State, the Colorado River flows year-round offering family float trips from Class II to III.
For those looking for a more adventurous trip, check out our Gore Canyon options. This is one of the countries most challenging Class V river sections; it will be sure to get your head wet and heart racing.
Lakota Guides still provides unique opportunities including Night Vision tours! Provided along a Class II stretch of river, the stars can be seen from horizon to horizon offering an experience like no other.
In addition to night vision tours and rafting trips; Lakota also offers horseback riding, majestic off road Mercedes-Benz Unimog & Jeep tours, stand-up paddleboard rentals and dinner on the river options.
