About Performance Tours Rafting
Performance Tours has been guiding whitewater rafting trips from Breckenridge for over 30 years, establishing themselves as one of the most experienced and reliable river outfitters in the Colorado high country. Their longevity reflects a deep commitment to safety, quality, and guest satisfaction that has kept visitors coming back season after season. Operating from their base on Ski Hill Road, they run trips on three distinct rivers — the Blue River, the Arkansas River, and Clear Creek — each offering different character, difficulty levels, and scenery.
The trip menu is thoughtfully designed to serve a wide range of guests. Relaxed scenic floats on calmer stretches of the Blue River are ideal for families with young children or anyone who prefers gentle rapids and an emphasis on the stunning mountain scenery. For more adventurous guests, half-day runs on the Arkansas River and Clear Creek feature Class III and IV rapids that deliver genuine whitewater excitement, with trained guides managing the technical navigation while paddlers dig in for the ride of their lives.
Performance Tours also offers guided fly fishing trips on the productive trout waters near Breckenridge, led by experienced anglers who know the local rivers intimately. Their combination rafting-plus-fishing packages are a brilliant way to experience two of Colorado's premier outdoor activities in a single day — paddle through rapids in the morning and cast for trout in a peaceful stretch of river in the afternoon.
All trips include professional guides, full safety equipment, wetsuits when needed, and transportation to and from the river. Whether you are a first-time rafter looking for a gentle introduction to the sport or an experienced paddler seeking challenging whitewater in a spectacular mountain setting, Performance Tours delivers expertly managed adventures backed by three decades of local knowledge.
