In the world of whitewater there are few things more exciting than taking charge and paddling through the rapids in a small, inflatable kayak. It is one of the most exciting ways to see the river … up close and personal. In a “duckie” or inflatable kayak, you now have the chance to test your own skills and paddle the Colorado River on your own.
At Highside Adventure Tours, we offer duckie trips on the Colorado River because the water — class I and II — is calmer on this section so it’s perfect for the first-timer, families or someone looking for a pleasant float trip. Kayaking in a duckie is available from May to September. There will be at least one professional kayak/raft guide for every four guests, and usually a raft along for support; your comfort and enjoyment is of paramount concern to us. There really is no thrill like taking control yourself, and challenging the river in an inflatable kayak. Give us a call at 1-800-997-3448 and we can set up an exciting duckie trip for you and your family or friends this summer!
Take time out of your day to get up close and personal with the legendary Colorado River. You will be the pilot of your own inflatable kayak as you float through Lower Gore Canyon, enjoying the scenery and history of the mighty Colorado. With natural hot springs, countless swimming holes, prehistoric dinosaur tracks and a boxed lunch included, it’s a great way to spend a fun and relaxing day in the Colorado sunshine.
