If you're looking to get out there and explore all the wonders Colorado has to offer but want a bit of thrill, you've come to the right place. A company in the Western Colorado town of Clifton called Jet Boat Colorado is looking to give you the adventure of a lifetime by "heading down the river" in a whole new way.

Jet Boat Colorado offers exhilarating jet boat tours on the Colorado River. During these tours, a professional driver steers passengers through the water at high speeds, performing spins, fishtails, and power slides in a jet boat.

"Feel the power and the performance of our custom tour boat, plan on a surge of adrenaline, getting wet and a smile that cannot be wiped off," says Jet Boat Colorado.

Based on New Zealand designs, the boats measure 20 feet long and can hold up to 10 passengers. They're designed for high speeds and maneuverability, with a fuel-injected engine that generates 420 horsepower and 460-foot pounds of torque.

Jet Boat Colorado offers various tours, from mixed-group tours to chartered options. Standard "Adventure Tour" pricing starts at $99.
