Park and paddle was outstanding

5.00We did the park (ropes course) and 1/2 day rafting with an 11, 14 and 18 year old. Kyle was our guide for both. Outstanding time, highlight of the trip. Decent lunch provided and everyone was friendly and welcoming. The ropes course was more challenging than expected and Had 4 small zip lines. Then you do a challenge to climb up and jump to a trapeze bar. Then you do a large swing over the river. The rafting was great, the kids loved it and we even jumped in the cold water. Highly recommend.
The perfect white water rafting experience.

5.00Amazing, fun, knowledgeable guides. Every guide seems to be living their dream job. Facility was great. They obviously spend money on infrastructure, equipment and upkeep. They have it down and take care of you. When I come back, I'm going with Noah's Ark again. If I was here longer, I'd actually go again.
Top notch safety, service & FUN

5.00Top notch service all around! You won’t need to worry about hauling or loading your boat. They take care of it all and do it with smiles. Even the bus ride back is entertaining. Every person on staff is focused first on safety, always respectful, and F-U-N, but I gotta say if you don’t get Pippa on the water you’re missing out. If you go the aerial park, cross your fingers for Mama & Libby! They were great with our 11 year old!
Great memories made!

Best Rafting & Ropes Experience Ever!!!!!!

5.00Great time in the whitewater rapids and on the BCAP course! Our guides did an excellent job taking us down Browns Canyon swiftly, safely, and suavely. Mad-Dawg truly lived up to her name on the river as she fiercely howled through the class 3 rapids. With Mad-Dawg, we felt so safe and lived on the wild side all at the same time. Double Dawgs forever! Spencer was our steady and strong anchor going down the river. His piercing blue eyes and 6”2’ with an attitude figure left us excited to cross paths again. McKinley, Brenden (Lindsey’s baby bro), and Caitlyn took us on a wild ride on the BCAP course. They were accommodating, patient, and kind to our group of diverse young adults. Thank you Noah’s Ark for a fun and memorable weekend!!! Great food, great friends, great fun! XOXO Dame-Dawg

5.00Our guide Kate from Alabama was absolutely wonderful. My brother was so excited about tackling the adventure park and we were worried some of his special needs would make it too difficult. Kate was so patient, kind and encouraging to him and he had an awesome experience--as did all our children. We loved our whole time at Noah's Ark!!
