5.00Our family had the best experience rafting with Noah’s Ark! From the moment we checked in, the staff made us feel welcome and comfortable. The guides were fantastic with our kids—patient, fun, and made sure everyone felt safe the entire time. The balance of excitement on the rapids and calm stretches to enjoy the scenery was perfect for a family adventure. We loved how organized everything was, and it truly felt like they cared about giving us not just a rafting trip, but a memory we’ll always treasure. Highly recommend for families looking for both fun and connection outdoors!
Trip Highlight!

5.00Tali was a great guide, awesome trip, had a 10 year old, a 70 year old, and a couple 40 year olds and it was perfect for all ages! Just the right amount of chill and thrill throughout the 10 mile tour - awesome vistas along the way - a trip highlight!

5.00We felt very safe and had lots of fun with our guide Grant. We had a warm day and were comfortable in athletic shorts and long-sleeve dry-fit shirts. Chaco sandals are OK, but closed toed shoes are better.
Amazing

5.00Great day on the river! Andrew was the best. Guided us thru some really fun rapids… and we got to see him spring into action when there was a code brown. True professional. Book a tour with Noah’s Ark and they’ll take care of your every need! -Scott, Rowan, and Holden

5.00Wonderful experience start to finish. The whole Noah’s Ark staff make it feel like the best day of summer camp, with the perfect mix of adventure-seeking, safety, and fun. They have all the knowledge and gear to help especially first timers enjoy the water. Everything is clean, organized, and professional, and you can’t beat beating able to start in the river right where you check in! Adeline was the most wonderful guide and helped us make some great memories; our kids are already asking to go back!

5.00Brown”s Canyon was so beautiful and peaceful. We had so much fun and Jackson was an excellent guide! The staff at Noah’s Ark were intentional in their safety briefing and in training their guides to safely get us down river.

5.00Our family of 8 had a great time rafting with Noah’s Ark! Our guide Reid did a fantastic job of teaching us what to expect and how to react to whatever the river might bring our way. And when the boat zipped right and I jagged left, Reid plucked me out of the water quick as a wink! The beauty of the river was spectacular and Reid made us feel safe while also having the adventure of a lifetime!
