We loved our experience with A Wanderlust Adventure! Everything was well organized and executed; photos are outstanding. Taylor is an impeccable guide - very skilled, engaged, and mindful. We will be back!
Our white water rafting trip was absolutely incredible! From start to finish, the entire crew made us feel welcome and safe. Huge shoutout to our guide, Ryan. He was hilarious, fun, and incredibly knowledgeable. He kept us laughing the whole time while also making sure we felt confident and prepared. Everyone we interacted with at the company was friendly and professional. It was such a great experience. Highly recommend to anyone looking for adventure and great vibes. Make sure to get the photo package! 5 stars all the way!
We had a 3 generation family group of 15 ...2 grandparents, 3 siblings and spouses and 7 grandchildren aged 7-17. The folks at Wanderlust guided us through the process of splitting the crew up but still managed to keep us in 2 boats. Paula and Krista were our guides and they were fantastic! Instructional videos were provided and the experience was educational as well as enjoyable! Great tour!
We had an amazing time! This was our first time rafting as a family and our guide Murph was awesome as he navigated us through the “the blast of white water” stretch. The reservations were super easy, the instructions from the staff was excellent, safety was always in the forefront, and all the guides made us feel welcome and were very informative of the river and surrounding area. I would highly recommend Wanderlust if you’re thinking of taking a white water rafting trip. Thanks again Murph and the staff at Wanderlust for showing us a great time!
Celebrating 44 Seasons, A Wanderlust Adventure has entertained over 200,000 Estes Park vacationers ordering fantastic whitewater rafting trips on the Cache La Poudre River! Fort Collins and Estes Park locals call it the Poudre River, pronounced “Poo-der”. Our company provides super fun raft trips within an easy drive from Estes Park, Rocky Mountain National Park, Fort Collins, Boulder, Denver and Cheyenne.
Choose from two exciting trips on Colorado's only National "Wild and Scenic" River. If you are looking for a real outdoor adventure in Northern Colorado, we highly recommend whitewater rafting on the Cache La Poudre River from Fort Collins or Estes Park. A great reason to choose the Poudre River is because of strict regulations that it receives from Roosevelt National Forest. Because of this the Poudre River has less outfitters operating on it which makes it less crowded than other rivers in Colorado. We also have limits on the amount of guests we can take which adds to the overall experience of your trip
The scenery in the Poudre Canyon is exceptional and the almost continuous whitewater will provide excitement, thrills and lifelong memories that will be the highlight of your Colorado vacation! We offer mild to wild rafting trips that are great for families as well as adrenaline seekers. Our online reservations make it easy for you to book your trip. If you’ll be in the Estes Park or Fort Collins area, whitewater rafting on the Cache La Poudre River is a great team building activity and Wanderlust specializes in taking youth groups, church organizations and boy scouts. We can also set up a lunch for your large group before or after your rafting trip
A Wanderlust Adventure is a “Licensed River Outfitter – Issued by Colorado Parks and Wildlife” and permitted through the National Forest Service. We have been offering whitewater rafting trips on the Poudre River for 44 years. Over the years we have seen the whitewater rafting industry in Fort Collins and Estes Park go through many changes. We have adapted to these changes, raised our standards, improved our company and stayed in business by paying attention to what our guests want. We understand this may be your first raft trip. Whether you choose a mild or wild trip, we try to make it the highlight of your vacation!
After your trip we encourage you to check out the HD photos and videos of your rafting adventure. We take more photos in more locations and offer the best deals available. Our 2,000 square foot retail store has the World’s largest supply of Wanderlust Rafting T-Shirts and hats. We also have changing rooms and restrooms.
