Family River Trips Journey Downstream Five Rivers in Colorado

FAMILY-OWNED AND OPERATED SINCE 1979

Since 1979, Dvorak Expeditions has been offering family-friendly whitewater rafting deals. Bill and Jaci raised their own family on these rivers and know how much time and planning it takes for a fun family vacation with kids. Your kids (and inner child) will have the time of your lives.

We take care of the details! On our family adventures, you will discover the easy-going parent inside of you—as we take the controls and organize, set up, and manage each detail so you can have fun. Enjoy custom-tailored activities for all ages – fishing, stand-up paddling, inflatable kayaking, and more. Together, you will experience a delightful and unforgettable trip. That’s River Magic!

Small party, BIG fun! Your family’s river journey comes with excellent chefs to make tasty snacks and meals, and entertaining staff—who break out in song and dance at the most unique moments—will incite enthusiasm from your whole bunch. Most importantly, these seasoned guides also qualify for the outstanding safety standards that bring us high ratings on Trip Advisor and Yelp and many referrals and return guests.

You will meet travelers worldwide who share common interests in nature, wilderness, and conservation. River Magic will follow you home with joyful memories and bring you back again with your children and your children’s children in tow.
