Celebrating our 40th Season, A Wanderlust Adventure has entertained over 200,000 Estes Park vacationers offering fantastic whitewater rafting trips on the Cache La Poudre River! Locals call it the Poudre River, pronounced “Poo-der”. Our company provides super fun raft trips within an easy drive of Estes Park, Rocky Mountain National Park, Fort Collins, Boulder, Denver and Cheyenne. Choose from two exciting trips on Colorado's only National "Wild and Scenic" River. If you are looking for real outdoor adventure in Northern Colorado we highly recommend whitewater rafting on the Poudre River. A great reason to choose the Poudre River is because of strict regulations that it receives from Roosevelt National Forest. Because of this the Poudre River has less outfitters operating on it which makes it less crowded than other rivers in Colorado. We also have limits on the amount of guests we can take which adds to the overall experience of your trip. The scenery in the Poudre Canyon is exceptional and the almost continuous whitewater will provide excitement, thrills and lifelong memories that will be the highlight of your Colorado vacation! We offer mild to wild rafting trips that are great for families as well as adrenaline seekers. Our online reservations make it easy for you to book your trip. Whitewater rafting is a great team building activity and Wanderlust specializes in taking youth groups, church organizations and boy scouts. We can also set up a lunch for your large group before or after your rafting trip. Whitewater rafting is one of the top things to do during your stay in Estes Park and Fort Collins. Wanderlust boasts the best reviews on TripAdvisor, Google and Yelp. We employ the most professional guides on the Poudre River. Our guides average nine summers of experience and are hand-picked for their fun personalities and customer service skills.
