5.00We came as a team to end off our wrestling camp trip, 28 girls, 6 boats, all the fun. My boat was with my dorm buddies and our guide was Em, who was also the trip leader. She was super fun and made the experience soo fun! For our big group im really glad the fee for each of us was reasonable. 5 miles for us was perfect, about 2-3 hours on the water just chatting away. The office is super cute and aesthetic, front desk ladies were very nice and accommodating. Overall, really fun!!!
Excellent experience

5.00We thoroughly enjoyed our rafting trip on the Arkansas River with River Runners Colorado. We are six high school friends from 50 years ago with little or no rafting experience. Our guide, Jacob, was fabulous. Helpful, patient, and talented, he made our experience exciting, fun, and safe.
Amazing experience!!

5.00First time rafting, wasn’t sure how our 7 year old would do. He had an amazing time. Just enough class 3 rapids to make it fun for whole family. I would highly recommend. Our guide was Nate, he was great.
Great first time experience!

5.00Great first time experience. Our guide Jacob was fantastic! We were with a group of Girl Scouts, and we all had a blast! Even had fun water fights with other rafts! 🤣
