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!

The Blast of Whitewater is our more challenging rafting experience, featuring continuous Class III–IV whitewater on the Poudre River. It is designed for guests looking for a more intense and action-packed rafting adventure. You don't need previous rafting experience, but you should be comfortable with a more physically demanding trip.
No. Previous rafting experience is not required. Your guide will provide safety instructions and teach you the paddling techniques you need before and during the trip. However, guests should be comfortable following instructions and actively paddling throughout the adventure.
The Blast of Whitewater requires more continuous paddling than our Taste of Whitewater trip. You'll be actively involved in paddling through Class III–IV rapids, so you should be in good enough physical condition to paddle and participate throughout the trip. If you're looking for a more relaxed introduction to rafting, the Taste of Whitewater may be a better fit.
The Blast of Whitewater features Class III–IV rapids. These rapids provide bigger waves, more technical sections, and more continuous action than you'll experience on our Taste of Whitewater trip. Your experienced guide will lead the raft and provide instructions to help your group navigate the river safely.
The biggest difference is the intensity of the whitewater. The Taste of Whitewater offers an exciting introduction to rafting and is accessible to a wider range of guests, while the Blast features more continuous Class III–IV rapids and requires more paddling. Choose the Blast if you're looking for a bigger, more physically demanding whitewater adventure.
Yes. You do not need previous rafting experience to participate in the Blast. Every trip begins with safety instruction, and you'll be accompanied by an experienced guide throughout the adventure. However, the Blast is a more demanding trip, so guests should be comfortable around water, able to follow their guide's instructions, and prepared for continuous paddling and challenging whitewater.
