We had a great experience on the family float with a 3 yr old in tow. Freck was an awesome guide. He didn't rush us at all. He stopped so we could use a rope swing and let us stay as long as we wanted. He also brought us to a small pool off the river where he knew the kids would enjoy catching frogs and tadpoles. The river was beautiful, and it was overall a great day. We'll be back one day for the real rapids.
Love to come over again for raft.

I regret buying the photos because it was not worth it but the lunch lady and our raft tour guide were really nice and friendly. I would recommend to ride the rafts but not to get the photos.
Amazing time rafting

There were fourteen of us (all family) that floated down the Arkansas River with Lexi, Justin, and Caleb. Our guides were amazing, interesting, funny, and informative. They had a special ability to relate with our grandsons and granddaughters. It was fun to see our three year and six year old grandsons paddling down the river. Pokemon Falls was a thrill and swimming at the Mudslide Beach was super fun. Yes, we will do this again. Perhaps the Big Horn Canyon or the Royal Gorge will be our next adventure. Yeah, if we do the Gorge, we'll probably leave the three year old and six year old with babysitters. Thank you Raftmasters for an incredible morning on the River!
amazing family experience

Our guide was Grace. She was very kind and knowledgeable about the wildlife in the area. We did the family float. There were just enough rapids to make it a little interesting. It was a very relaxing float. We had the hamburger lunch. It was ok. This is great for little ones and older people.
Highly recommend for family fun!

Freck was the best guide for our family! He swam with the kids and played football! Kids ages were 2, 4, and 10 and he interacted with all of them so perfectly!! Highly recommend!
