When you invest in something as important as your business, your team, or your employees, you want an experience that is unique, not a cookie-cutter rafting trip with boatloads of other people. You want focused results and a high return on investment. You want to see your people smiling, connecting, laughing, working together, celebrating, learning, even leading, enjoying themselves, feeling successful, and making memories that will come up in the break room for years to come!
Scientific research supports that when we feel good, hormones such as endorphins, adrenaline, dopamine, serotonin, and oxytocin among others are flowing through our bodies. The results are that we’re happy, we’re connected, we’re having fun, and we know we’re alive!
Our guests consistently relate how their shared experience with their teammates on the river was exhilarating, fun, and will bring back positive memories for years to come.
Kokopelli Rafting Adventures unique approach to leading groups down the river makes these amazing results seem easy, and even predictable.
Here’s what we do to ensure your team building activity is the best, safest, and most satisfying river adventure ever!
- We only use Type 5 “high-flotation” life-jackets with 25 lbs of flotation. The whitewater industry standard is Type 3 with 16 lbs of flotation. We replace our life jackets every 3 years to maintain the highest quality.
- We’ve been industry leaders on river rafting safety for decades. Kokopelli was the first rafting company to require helmets on class III whitewater in New Mexico back in 1996, and has been setting trends ever since. To this day, there’s only a handful of companies who offer helmets. At Kokopelli, providing helmets on whitewater for your corporate or executive team building adventure is simply the right thing to do.
- In the past, Kokopelli Rafting has also operated in Colorado, which has the highest river guide standards in the country. We’ve always trained our guides to meet these higher standards. Our rookie training is 80+ hours over a period of 8 days.
- As a result of our company’s higher standards, we consistently attract (and retain) only the best river professionals who’ve worked hard to be a part of our team, refined their rafting and leadership skills, and value our approach to safety, and relentless commitment to excellence.
- We offer you a choice of two cancellation policies so you can choose the best, most flexible, and customer-friendly terms that work best for your group or team.
We are consistently #1 because we customize our team bonding activities to YOU, and your team’s experience! We want your team to have the best day on the river. You get to enjoy the camaraderie and leave the details to us.
