We all had a great day. The boats were very nice. Maybe 7 in our boat was too many but our excellent guide Dan kept us safe. Dan was very experienced and has obviously spent many years doing what he loves. The lunch was relaxed and a good break before the biggest rapids of the day. I grew up on the Yellowstone River in Montana and don't remember have a better rafting experience than with River Runners.

My husband and I took our three teenagers on a summer trip to Colorado and white water rafting was a must-do activity! River Runners did not disappoint. Our guide, Sophia, was so much fun and also kept us safe. The water was high, fast and cold but we had such a great time. We will be back to try a different trip again :)

took the family on a full day trip through Browns Canyon. We all had a great time! 1. our guide Shelli was awesome. She is an experienced guide so knew what she was doing. this can be a dangerous activity if you dont know what you're doing so this was key. she expertly guided us through the rapids, got us wet and yet, we still had a blast. She let us know when we could have fun and when we need to shut up and paddle hard. 2. overall organization was great. on time, very clear what to do, how to do it. got the gear, safety talk and in the boats. pick up at the end of the day was seamless and easy. quick bus ride back and we were ready to go. 3. the lunch spread! for eating on the river, this was quite the spread. good sandwhich/wrap options, watermelon, AWESOME salsa with guac and chips. and of course some cookies! we had a great time, would definitely look to other rafting options with River Runners the next time we're in CO.
