If you’re planning a special event like a wedding, family reunion, anniversary, birthday or bachelor/bachelorette party in Vail, Colorado, let Timberline Tours help you add a splash of outdoor adventure, mountain majesty, and Colorado history to your activities.
In addition to offering whitewater rafting, duckie trips, jeep tours, and transportation services, we love working creatively with people to design customized private events and itineraries.
A ½ day of whitewater rafting and a ½ day of jeeping for your family reunion? We can do that.
A private jeep tour with the love of your life to a breathtaking mountain vista for a proposal? We’ll make sure there’s ice in the cooler for the champagne.
A private raft trip for your wedding party with a BBQ lunch and volleyball on the beach? Easy enough.
The sky’s the limit on what we can co-create on a private trip. Give us a call and we can help you determine the right activities for your set of circumstances and group specifics. To get your creative juices flowing, we’ve highlighted a few more examples below of custom-designed private events involving family, friends, couples and kids.
VAIL SPECIAL EVENTS FOR FAMILIES
Weddings, Family Reunions, and Wedding Anniversaries:
When accommodating a large group of varying ages and abilities, we can recommend options to ensure that everyone has an adventure equal to their abilities.
For instance, kids can paddle in duckies alongside adults who’d rather relax on an Upper Colorado river trip. Or half of your group may be excited for a splashy, intermediate Class III stretch of whitewater while the other half is excited to explore the Colorado history, wildflowers, and wildlife on a jeep tour. When the group reconvenes, we can even drive you to dinner at the historic Minturn Saloon.
SPECIAL EVENTS FOR FRIENDS
Bachelor/Bachelorette Parties, Girls’ Day Out, and High School Reunions:
Nothing boosts the camaraderie and bonding between friends like a shared outdoor adventure. Here are some ideas for customizing a special event in Vail with friends:
A bachelor party rafting adventure on The Numbers, our Class IV trip on the Arkansas River, followed by a gourmet deli-style lunch or BBQ and an afternoon touring the local whiskey distilleries.
A bachelorette party rafting adventure on Shoshone, our Class III trip on the Colorado River or…
…an Upper Colorado River rafting trip followed by a Vines at Vail wine tasting.
A girls day out on duckies (fun, inflatable kayaks) on the Upper Colorado River with yoga instruction, fresh salads, fruit, and sparkling water at lunch.
SPECIAL EVENTS FOR COUPLES
Anniversaries, Proposals, Vow Renewals, and Date Nights:
The breathtaking beauty of the Colorado Rockies is ultimately romantic, and we are equipped to get just the two of you out to some pretty dramatic locations. Getting out in nature is the ultimate way to unplug and reconnect intimately with each other.
We can custom design an afternoon Jeep tour to a stunning mountain vista during peak wildflower or fall foliage season, accompanied by a bottle of wine and boxed hors d’oeuvres. Or a private afternoon float trip down the Upper Colorado with champagne, imported cheeses, and a secluded beach to toast your enduring love. If your love loves history, we can set you up with a picnic lunch and a jeep tour to visit a Colorado ghost town or Camp Hale where 10th Mountain Division soldiers trained on skis to prepare for alpine battles during World War II.
SPECIAL EVENTS FOR KIDS
Birthday Parties or Multiple Family Vacations:
Our Dinosaur Discovery Rafting Trip is already designed to be the perfect rafting event for kids who love fossils, rocks, and dinosaurs. A few more ideas:
A jeep tour to a Colorado ghost town with a picnic lunch, ghost stories ,and chocolate chip cookies for dessert.
A birthday party float trip down the Upper Colorado River with duckies, balloons, games, and cake and ice cream.
Whatever type of private event you have in mind, we are excited to work creatively with you to transform your vision of it into a fun-filled, memory-inspiring reality. The more lead time we have, the more likely we’ll be able to accommodate your wishes, so call us soon to start collaborating on your Vail special event.
