Overview

Ready for adventure?  Ready for fun?  The excitement begins as you jump on top of your own inflatable kayak, aka “ducky”, and start running the river in your own boat. Kayaks are an amazing adventure for any size family or group.

Our duckies are open and easily maneuverable and they offer a totally different experience on the river than rafting!  Rapids feel bigger being that close to the water. You will be in charge of your own boat on this guided tour. Your guide will go over best techniques and procedures for reading the river and maneuvering your ducky downstream. He or she will be with you throughout the trip to show you the best route and run safety incase you go for a swim.

We cater to first timers and experienced kayakers alike and choose the section of river best suited for your group. We have easy to advanced sections. Inflatable kayaking is physically demanding and all participants should be in good physical condition.

Each Browns Canyon Rafting kayak trip provides everything you need for an unforgettable river adventure including: your very own kayak, paddle, wetsuit, booties, splash jacket, life jacket, and helmet. Tandem kayaks are available, but we highly recommend maneuvering your own vessel. Every trip is guided by an experienced and certified Browns Canyon Rafting guide who will accompany you down river and teach you to steer your way through the rapids.
