Organizing a group rafting trip is a lot of fun and the group organizer packet can make it easy. Whether it's a teambuilding trip for your office, a family get-together, a wedding, church group, youth group, scout group or just a group of friends & family, Highside Adventure Tours can help make your group outing a successful one. Highside Adventure Tours can handle groups of 100 or more with the attention to detail you expect from a small, family-run company. We can also help you organize group biking tours, horseback rides, fishing trips and kayaking.

Highside Adventure Tours has shown groups of diverse backgrounds the excitement and beauty of Colorado's mountains and rivers. Such groups and organizations include the pop music sensation NSYNC, MCI, The Bass Family Reunion, The Jenson's Wedding Party, River Reach Youth Initiative, Boy Scouts Of America Troop #702, Faith Bible Church of Colorado, Fountain Valley High School Senior Class Outing, Young Cattleman's Association and many more.

Rafting is a natural team building activity. Teaching 6-8 people how to work together and paddle in unison to get a raft through a day full of rapids definitely requires teamwork. Highside Adventure Tours can put together special team building events with emphasis on communication, leadership and cooperation by combing multiple activities with rafting, including rock climbing, biking, horseback riding and satellite navigation scavenger hunts. Call us for information on transportation from Vail, Summit County and Denver. 800-997-3448

Highside Adventure Tours serves a hot BBQ lunch on all full-day trips (choice of top sirloin, chicken breast or mixed grill veggies). Special meals, from sandwiches to gourmet catered buffets, can also be arranged.

Group discounts are available — up to 20% or more depending upon the size of your group. Remember that with a group, an advance deposit is necessary to secure any dates, times and special requests your group might have.

Group cancellations

A 50% deposit is required to hold a group reservation. If your group or any individual cancels 30 days in advance, there will be $10.00 per person cancellation fee. Full payment is required 30 days in advance; absolutely no refunds for no-shows or cancellations within the 30-day cancellation period. Remember to choose a trip that suits your entire groups' needs and abilities. Our office staff would be happy to answer questions that may help you determine an appropriate trip for your group.

To help you with the task of putting together a large group rafting trip, please call our office staff. Make sure everyone in your group has read and understands the cancellation policy; this will keep misunderstandings and cancellation disputes to a minimum. Weather is not a cause for cancellation; trips leave rain or shine. We reserve the right to refuse service to anyone judged to be under the influence of drugs or alcohol, and no refunds will be given.

Responsibility Policy

River trips, mountain biking and fishing are adventure sports and involve a degree of risk on the part of the participant. Although we take every precaution to ensure an enjoyable trip, we cannot be responsible for lost or damaged articles or personal injury. We require that you acknowledge these risks by reading and signing a liability release prior to departure. All minors must have a properly completed liability release form to raft. Choose a trip within your group's personal limits.
