Take the whole day on the river with a guided full-day inflatable kayak (ducky) tour on the Upper Colorado River. Long calm stretches, playful Class I–II rapids, and canyon views make this the full-day Colorado kayak adventure. Paddle a single ducky solo or share a tandem kayak with a partner. A full safety briefing means first-timers feel confident before launching. More river time, more wildlife, and more swimming holes than the half-day version.
Meet at the Rancho Del Rio boathouse for a full safety briefing and paddling tips before heading downriver — first-timers are welcome and quickly feel comfortable.
This stretch of the Upper Colorado is ideal for duckies: long calm stretches to cruise and playful Class I–II rapids, with a few Class III rapids possible at higher water flows for an extra thrill.
Enjoy incredible canyon views, quiet stretches of river, and plenty of opportunities to spot wildlife along the banks. Choose a single ducky for a solo adventure or a tandem ducky to paddle with a partner — a full day of exploring the Upper Colorado.
