From our guides to the office staff, bus drivers, photographers, and owners, you’ll find a great bunch of people who want to make your whitewater adventure vacation the best available.  We take a lot of pride in offering our clientele the best whitewater experience both on and off the water.  2022 will be our 40th year of offering quality adventure trips on the Poudre and other rivers and from the beginning our goal has been to provide our guests an experience which is safe, fun, and exciting, so that your experience with us will be the highlight of your vacation.  We’re known as “the liveliest group on the river” and our customers who have been around tell us we’re definitely the most fun. Some other reasons to raft with us:

• 42 years in business on the Poudre with the same owner and 9 years on the river before the creation of A1 Wildwater!
• We’ve had the pleasure of taking more than a quarter million people down the River.
• Our guides have extensive experience and are certified by the state of Colorado with safety training, emergency first aid, and CPR training.
• Highest quality rafts with different sizes to accommodate high, medium, and low water conditions in order to keep safety and the excitement level maximized.  Another new set of rafts in 2016!
• Free use of high quality splash jackets, helmets, and PFD’s.  Our splash jackets have neoprene neck and wrist closures for extra warmth.  Wetsuits and booties are available for rent.
• We have the Greatest variety of times and trips. Because we were an original outfitter on the river, our permit allows for a greater variety of put-in and take-out locations and times.
• State certified highly trained whitewater guides with CPR and First aid training, some with advanced EMT and advanced river rescue training.
• Highest quality self bailing rafts and equipment which is constantly upgraded.
• The nicest rafting facility in Northern Colorado. Our new building was built in 2009 and has a large retail area with snacks and drinks available, clean heated indoor restrooms and changing rooms on 4 acres with plenty of parking for cars, tour buses, and RV’s. Nice outdoor park with sunshine, shade trees, and picnic tables for hanging out before or after your trip or for having a picnic or BBQ.  By far, we have the nicest facility of any outfitter on the Poudre. We don’t use porti-potties like some of our competitors.
• The owner, Rob Breckenridge, is the only owner on the Poudre River that was a class V kayaker with over 45 years of whitewater experience from around the continental U.S., Alaska, Mexico, and Coasta Rica where he participated in first descents. The owner was one of the earliest to run the Upper and Lower Poudre Narrows in a kayak and one of the earliest to run the entire Narrows in a raft.
• Pet and RV friendly.  You can leave your pet with us while you enjoy the River for a nominal fee of $10.00!  (must be friendly, trained, and on a leash). Our 4 acre site has plenty of parking for your RV, Charter bus, or other vehicle.
• Most Fun!  People tell us year in and year out that we are the group that is the most fun and liveliest on the River!  With us, fun is serious business!
