5.00The River is beautiful which is to be expected. The unknown is the service. Top notch. We had to change our day within twenty four hours due a scheduling mix up, charged a nominal fee, much appreciated. Whole staff was professional, courteous, and kind. Our guide, Danny, was excellent across the board. Patient , informative, safe, the things you need but also funny and great to be around. Would absolutely recommend, love the whole of the company, and hope they prosper for years to come.
Respect the river.

5.00What a fantastic day! It’s never a bad day out in the river, but this company was particularly excellent. They took great care of us. Our guides made sure we had proper gear. While they had wetsuits available, our guides said we wouldn’t need them and we didnt. Other groups showed up in full wetsuits and it would have been miserable to be wearing that all day. We were all fine in shorts and light jackets. We also navigated just fine through tricky spots while other groups had trouble. The guides with this company were just notably better than others out on the river that day. Great knowledge and experience. This is the company to go with hands down!
A family first!

5.00What an experience! The staff was awesome and our guide Sanjay, was knowledgeable, engaging and funny! We did the half day which took around 2.5 hours through Browns Canyon and included multiple Class 3 rapids. We went with a group of 15 and split 5 per boat. Two of our group joined the Arkansas River Swim Team and were celebrated. We all had a blast. Highly recommend this group as they have trips for all skill levels and ages. Also, they have a photographer ready to go and their pics are first rate!
Fantastic!!

5.00This was our first time white water rafting and definitely won’t be our last. Anna was our guide and she was fantastic. She did a great job navigating us through the rapids and giving us a tour along the way.

5.00Had a great run down Brown’s Canyon which was a blast even with low water. That made it very technical for the guide and Ashley was incredible. She is an outstanding guide, highly recommend.
