Pagosa Springs Kayak Rentals
Deflated Is a Feature
One of the best things about an inflatable kayak is how easy it is to take somewhere. We send the kayak out deflated with its pump, paddle and life jacket. Load everything inside your vehicle, drive to the lake and inflate it when you arrive. No trailer. No roof rack. No awkward boat hanging off the top of the family car. When you're finished, deflate it and bring everything back to Pagosa Outside.
Early Start? Try an Early Pickup.
Want to be on the lake before the afternoon wind or get moving before everyone else finishes breakfast? Call us after 3:00 PM the day before your rental. If your kayak is already back and available, we'll let you pick it up early at no additional charge. The reservation software may call it a one-day rental. We'd rather give you as much of that day as we reasonably can.

Loved how easy the inflatable Kyaks were to handle! The staff were great and provided everything we needed. Had a wonderful paddle at Willams creek.

Pagosa Springs River Tube Rentals
Float. Soak. Repeat. Grab one of our purpose-built whitewater river tubes and explore Pagosa at your own pace. Choose a 3-hour or full-day rental and pick from single, XL and double tubes. Our Main Street shop is directly across from Pagosa’s downtown river corridor, so you can walk to the water, run laps through the whitewater park, stop at Hippy Dip hot springs or build a longer float with your own transportation. You handle the river logistics. We provide the good stuff.
Deluxe Whitewater Tubing Trip
Pagosa locals make river tubing look easy. They know where to go, which section of river works at the current water level, where to get out, and usually have somebody willing to handle transportation. Our Deluxe Whitewater Tubing Trip is the easy button! Pagosa Outside introduced shuttled river tubing to Pagosa Springs and has spent years learning, improving and helping shape the tubing experience here. Deluxe is how we share that local river knowledge with folks who don’t already know the San Juan River corridor. Reserve your departure time, park right at our Main Street shop, show up ready to get wet, and we take care of the details: scheduled transportation, purpose-built whitewater tubes, PFD, river shoes, changing rooms, lockers, secure key storage and FREE digital trip photos. Your shuttle takes you upstream, but there’s no return shuttle to wait for. The trip finishes in Pagosa’s downtown river corridor just a short walk from our shop. Hang out at the Hippy Dip hot springs if you want, then walk across Main Street to your vehicle and dry clothes whenever you’re ready. You came to Pagosa to go tubing. We’ll handle the rest.
Pagosa Springs SUP Rental
Elevate your outdoor adventure with stand-up paddleboard (SUP) rentals from Pagosa Outside. Perfect for beginners and seasoned paddlers alike, our SUPs are stable, lightweight, and easy to transport—making them the ideal choice for exploring the calm waters around Pagosa Springs. Whether you’re looking for a fun workout, a relaxing day outdoors, or a new way to connect with nature, our rentals provide everything you need for a memorable paddleboarding experience. Our inflatable SUPs are stable, portable and easy to transport. Each rental includes the board, adjustable paddle, pump, life jacket and a basic equipment orientation before you head out. The board travels deflated, so it fits easily into most vehicles without needing a roof rack. Your rental is booked by the calendar day. Standard pickup is 9:00–10:00 AM, and if your board is available after 3:00 PM the day before, you’re welcome to pick it up early at no extra charge.
Mesa Canyon Rafting Trip
Leave town behind and settle into Pagosa’s signature rafting experience—13 miles of San Juan River scenery, playful whitewater and about three hours on the water. Mesa Canyon gives you enough time to truly go somewhere. Roads and buildings disappear as the river winds through a remarkably preserved canyon corridor of sandstone walls, pine-covered slopes and quiet cottonwood bottoms. Between the scenery, splashy Class II–III rapids, a riverside break and the signature drop at Llama Falls, the trip feels like a genuine river journey rather than a quick ride through town. It’s an outstanding choice for families and first-time rafters, but the appeal goes well beyond that. Couples, groups, scenery lovers and experienced river travelers choose Mesa Canyon for the secluded setting, changing landscape and enough time on the river to truly unplug. And it’s all-inclusive done right: river shoes, appropriate splash gear, rafting equipment, transportation and FREE digital trip photos are all part of the experience.
West Fork Rafting Trip
Unlock a different side of the San Juan. The West Fork is Pagosa Outside’s premier rafting experience—a limited-season, 14-mile river journey combining exclusive private access, Pagosa’s most technical whitewater, wild mountain scenery, and a finish right through downtown Pagosa Springs. The upper run is what sets it apart. Tight, boulder-filled Class III–III+ rapids demand quick moves, precise lines, teamwork, and active paddling. Then the river changes completely, opening into quieter miles through the upper San Juan Valley before building again through Pagosa’s downtown whitewater park. It’s rugged, varied and unlike our other rafting trips. And it’s all-inclusive done right: wetsuit, helmet, life jacket, river shoes, appropriate splash gear, rafting equipment, transportation, and FREE digital trip photos are all part of the experience.
Splash & Dash Rafting Trip
Get straight to the good part. Splash & Dash is Pagosa Outside’s streamlined rafting experience—real San Juan River whitewater packed into about two hours without turning rafting into an all-day production. It’s an easy fit for families, first-time rafters and anyone who wants a memorable river adventure while still leaving plenty of time for the hot springs, lunch downtown or whatever comes next. Efficient trip logistics mean less standing around and more time actually experiencing the river. And it’s all-inclusive done right: river shoes, appropriate splash gear, rafting equipment, transportation and FREE digital trip photos are all part of the experience.
