Wheelies and Waves Adventure Company: Reviews
Fantastic experience: Great time, views and service.
Fantastic experience: Rented 2 single inflatable kayaks for a half day. They helped load and secure, and then unload when we arrived. Very helpful. Kayaks and paddles were in good condition, life preservers too. Convenient location and they helped us decide where best to go. We enjoyed the whole experience!
Fantastic experience: This place is awesome. I was very new to all this and wasn't sure what to rent, how to get it on my car and where to go. I called them and they were super helpful and knowledge and made it so easy. They were also very flexible on timing for pickup and dropoff. We had a terrific time with our paddle boards and kayak on Long Lake - I highly recommend renting from this company!
So glad we could help! Thanks for choosing us to help with your Crested Butte adventure!
Fantastic experience: We had a big group of e-bike riders in Crested Butte. Wheelies and Waves were great to work with! They got us all checked in, fitted for our bikes and took excellent care of us. I highly recommend them.

Fantastic experience: Riley was a gem. His expertise and patience was the best!
Thank you Jodi! Glad to have helped your adventure!
Fantastic experience: My girl friends and I rented two paddleboards for a day on Lake Irwin. Wheelies and Waves made the whole process so easy and seamless. They loaded the boards onto our car and showed us how to easily strap them ourselves so we can do it after being the on the lake. They even inflated and deflated our friend's paddleboard that we had with us which was so nice and helpful! The paddleboards were sturdy and big; we were easily able to share and fit 2 people on one board. Lake Irwin was BEAUTIFUL. Definitely recommend renting paddleboards from Wheelies and Waves when you're in CB!
