Had the most unbelievable time on the half day excursion, with our guide Free. Super nice guy, extremely knowledgeable on the area, and a great coach for first time white water rafters!

Took our 12 year old twins and had a blast on the Brown's Canyon ride. Very safety conscious and made sure the kids had an especially nice time.

Excellent on river guides. Brendan was fabulous. We had a great time learning about the area, how to read the river and safely shooting the rapids. We were in a raft with only 4 guests, which made the trip very special. They have the capability to do personalized trips. Family owned and low-key.

We did a full day rafting trip down Browns Canyon of the Arkansas river. I have been down the river many times and this was the best trip. Brenndan, our guide was phenomenal and keep us entertained while providing a great and safe experience.
