5.00Guide was fun and knowledgeable. One person fell out of the boat and the guide had her back in the boat in minutes! My first time to go water rafting. I would go again. Thanks

5.00We had a family of 6, the youngest was 16. It was such a fun day with our guide Matt. We weren’t sure what to expect so we were very happy with the experience. It was great for me personally as I had never done this before. Do it!

5.00My boyfriend and I had SO much fun rafting with Dvorak Expeditions and Justin as our guide. We received personalized attention, so we felt secure on class III and IV rapids. Justin grew up on the river, so he knows it like the back of his hand. How fortunate we were to have him as our guide. He told us a lot about the canyon and the history of the area. You can't go wrong with Dvorak!
Thrilling Adventure

5.00Being Floridians and not knowing what to expect on this experience was scary and exciting all at the same time. We checked in to a very friendly staff who assured us everything will be just fine. When we arrived at the river, Sarah our very experienced raft guide did an amazing job! She explained everything we were going to experience and told us when to paddle and when not too. My family and I are very grateful for this experience as we felt safe under her guidance. I definitely recommend this excursion to anyone which we truly had a great time and enjoyed all the beautiful sceneries. Sarah was very knowledgeable and explain everything we were seeing along the way which made it more interesting. Don’t let the weather scare you. It was 40 degrees water, but with a wet suit you felt very comfortable. I know it doesn’t seem true, but take it from a Floridian who can’t get into 85 degrees water quick. Don’t delay and book your amazing adventure, you will not regret it!
Amazing staff and guides!

5.00We had a wonderful first time rafting experience with our guide Nate. Just enough adventure for my mom who is 66 to enjoy. The river is gorgeous.
Fun day on the water

5.00We enjoyed our family rafting trip on Browns Canyon half day trip. Thank you, Ania and Nate! It was safe (despite high water volume) and exciting. My oldest teenger smiled, which doesn't happen everyday. Nate had some interesting facts to share, though he could have said them louder for people in the back to hear. We saw bighorn sheep. We payed a group rate, but we got a private rafting experience because there were no other groups at this time. I would do this again again, maybe the full day.
Awesome
