I always say--ANY day on the river beats any day on land. And rafting the Arkansa River with Lost Paddle Rafting was super: knowledgable staff in the office, great river guides-- friendly and funny too, and excellent navigating through the rapids. Five of us rafted ranging in age from 68 to 14, and we all said-- what a fabulous day on the river.

What a great time! This was our first experience rafting, and it was memorable. Andrew, our guide, was fantastic. Super patient and reassuring with all of us. We did the full day trip. Picnic lunch was provided halfway through, and it was huge. The water was really clear, a few different opportunities for rock jumping and swimming which our sons loved. Purchased the photo package, and received 17 pictures for the price. Funny to see the looks on everyone's faces after the fact. Would do it again in a heartbeat. Great small company--friendly, efficient, and fun!
