5.00This was a really nice experience. The tour guide, Mr. Kurt, who had 30 years of experience, was nice and gave us someinteresting info about the area. He let us jump off a rock into the river in a slightly deep area. Overall its a must have experience that I recommend to you.
Great time on the water with family! Just the right amount of adventure!

5.00My family enjoyed a great rafting experience with ASHLEY! The river was beautiful, the level (1-3) was perfect for all of us as first timers, easy but also some exciting rapids and bumps along the way! We will definitely put this on our Do Again list! Thanks for a memorable experience!

5.00We had the most wonderful and fun filled experience with Performance Tours Rafting (PT). We booked a half day rafting tour from Buena Vista. PT were well equipped with wet suits, boots, floatation devices, helmets etc. The guides were super clear with their instructions and everything was told well in advance. Overall, the tour took 4.5 hours back and forth and we were in water for about 2.5 hours. This is quite incredible. Truly worth the money. All age groups can have fun. We rafted in the Browns gorge on the Arkansas River and it was perfect mix of calm and rapids! Pro Tip: do enquire about the water levels in the river. Due to drought conditions, it might be possible that they have shorter tours. Special shout out to our tour lead Margo for taking mazing care and making it a most memorable experience.
Thrilling with stunning beauty

5.00Amazing experience down the river with a fun and well knowledgeable guide in Mike D. His personality was fun. The entire trip was beautiful with challenging points to keep you feeling the rush and thrill of white water rafting but with a great portion to relax and enjoy the adventure and scenery.
Worth it
