Browns Canyon Rafting: Half Day vs. Full Day
If you're picking between a Browns Canyon half day and a full day, here's the straight comparison: time on the water, which rapids you see, whether lunch is included, and the price ($109 vs $159).
Half day vs. full day at a glance
The half day is the classic first trip — Zoom Flume, Pinball, Widow Maker, then back to the shop. The full day adds more canyon and a riverside lunch made by your guides.
What you get on the half day
- About half a day on the water through Browns Canyon National Monument
- The named Class III rapids most people come for
- From $109 per person
What you get on the full day
- More river and a slower pace
- Riverside lunch included
- From $159 per person
Most groups who can, go full day.— Kyle, Salida River Adventures
Which should your group book?
Short on time or rafting with younger kids at summer flows? Half day. Want the fuller canyon day and a meal on the bank? Full day. Either way, we'll match the trip to the least experienced person in the boat.
