This quick intro to whitewater rafting in Pagosa Springs is a great “Splash and Dash” trip for just testing the waters.
Closing day was Sept 6
And what a strange summer it was! Thanks to all of our guests who got out and enjoyed our fresh mountain air, abundant sunshine, and abbreviated offerings.
We will be back for another summer of fun in May 2021. We aren’t sure exactly what it’s going to look like yet, but we promise that we will do our best to keep your fun meter in the red zone!
Along with the non-profit Friends of the Upper San Juan, we have been working to protect public river access around Pagosa. Our first success was negotiating the purchase of the Mesa Canyon take-out which was almost lost due to adjacent landowners. The Town of Pagosa Springs stepped up to protect our ability to float, but now it’s our turn. We need some grassroots support so we can find a corporate sponsor to finish the project- Donate Here.
In the meantime, stay sane, be kind, and pray for snow. Enjoy your winter, we look forward to seeing you in the spring.
Opening Day is May 8th
We’ve had to make some changes in how we run our guided trips. This summer we will be following the health department guidelines by limiting raft capacity to single households and van capacity to 2 households with a maximum of 10 people. We expect more changes in the COVID regulations throughout the season and thank you in advance for your patience.

Wow! What an experience
“I had the best time with Pagosa Outside. This being my first time to go rafting, I was nervous and a little scared but the entire team made me feel welcomed and eased my anxiety. Our tour guide was fantastic. He was funny and kept our group engaged. I can’t wait to do another rafting experience with these guys. You won’t regret it! And gets the pics!!! So worth it.”

“Absolutely loved the intermediate mountain bike tour through Jackson Mountain. The staff was friendly and informative. The guide was knowledgeable, encouraging and fun to be around during the 3 hour bike ride. Scenery was picture perfect too! I would book this tour again!”

Great raft trip.
"Great rafting trip. Many interesting rapids and our guide was great. This trip was on the San Juan river, thru town and into a beautiful canyon, only accessible by boat. Pagosa Outside was extremely professional, safe, and entertaining. I highly recommend this company."
