5.00An AMAZING Trip!!! We love the fact that The Adventure Company uses guides that have had a year of experience under their belt before guiding. Miranda our guide made us feel safe and confident, allowing us to experience the river at our capabilities. All of us were strong rafters and she used our skills to help us enjoy a new experience to Browns Canyon. Her team members on the other rafts were engaging with all of us and Kotti knew so much about the geographics of the area. We would highly recommend The Adventure Company as a rafting company that puts you first and exceeds your expectations. We cannot wait to go back.

5.00We had a blast on the half-day Browns Canyon trip with Jake! He's a super experienced raft guide, great communicator, and just a really cool dude we'd kick it with anywhere. The water was low since it was mid-August, but we still had a good time - just know that if you want crazy big rapids, you should book in June or July when there's peak snow melt. Also try to stay in Buena Vista at one of the hot springs resorts (Cottonwood or Mt. Princeton). BV is an awesome town, and our biggest regret of the trip was that we'd booked non-refundable lodging in Breck before TAC got on our itinerary so we had to mosey on north after rafting, when we would've much rather stuck around BV and soaked in the hot springs. Next time!

5.00Awesome experience. My family of 6 (kids 6-12) was on a raft together. They had a great time and were beaming the whole time. Guide was great and ensured we had a great time while also feeling very safe.
