High Performance Rafting Equipment
We provide all equipment necessary for your white water rafting experience. ECHO uses only self-bailing high performance rafts, Coast Guard-approved personal flotation devices (life jackets), helmets (for class IV-V river sections) and rescue equipment. All overnight guests will be provided with dry bags if needed and all equipment is maintained for performance.
Choose between the more relaxed atmosphere of a professionally guided oar raft or the challenge of paddling along with others under the leadership of your guide in a paddle raft. We can develop a Colorado whitewater rafting trip just for YOU! Visit our FAQ page to find answers to frequently asked questions about white water rafting trips.
