We had a great time rafting Browns Canyon with our 9 year old daughter! We were nervous leading up to the trip as we didn't know how intense the rapids would be and we were worried about the chance of our daughter falling out. But as soon as we got started, we were instantly put at ease. Our guide was Chris and he was clearly well experienced and kept us safe, informed, and entertained the entire trip. He's a true professional and we all loved the entire experience! After the raft trip, we returned to the parking lot to find that our rental car had broken down. Alamo refused to send us a new vehicle and Buena Vista is a pretty isolated area so transportation is extremely limited (more like there is none!) We needed to get back to our condo in Breckenridge which is about 1.5 hours away and it was getting to be late. Bailey at the front desk spent probably 2 hours trying to help us call every local company in the area to help us find a ride home and eventually she connected us with Anthony (another employee at AVA) who offered to drive us back to our condo. We were completely desperate and SO grateful to Anthony for saving us! Thank you Bailey for all your help and Anthony for literally keeping us from walking on the side of the road all night with a 9 year old. These are stand up people and I would highly recommend you book your activities with them!

I don't know what I expected for my first whitewater rafting trip, but I'm so impressed with AVA! Everything was so relaxed, so I didn't feel overwhelmed. I was pretty nervous until the guides showed up and just looked like they knew what they were doing (sounds weird, but you'll see what I mean). You get several quick bursts of instructions and safety briefings, which give you a chance to digest everything (and also prevent you from feeling overwhelmed). Our guide, Joey, was very knowledgeable about the river and the mountains. As for the actual rafting, he let us know what to expect as we approached each Class 2 or 3 - including what was creating that particular feature (the nerd in me loved that!). My kids (20, 16, and 14) loved talking to him, and want to request him for a future rafting trip! Book with AVA- you won't regret it!

My wife, 2 good friends and I recently visited AVA Rafting in Buena Vista,CO. We were all first time rafting customers and had purchased the full day browns Canyon Sizzler package. Our excursion started loosely at 0930 and we finished up back at the outpost around 4pm. I can’t say enough amazing things about our experience. Our guide was Avery and she was outstanding in every way! She was very knowledgeable about the area including the section of class 3 rapids we were facing. She kept us safe and gave us step by step instructions for maneuvers and safety points. Never once did any of us feel unsafe or not sure what we needed to accomplish! She had an awesome personality and guided our boat with such fun nature! She put up with our rowdy group of 4 and fit right into the conversation between rapids! The other guide Kyle was also one of the nicest people we’ve ever met. Together the cooked us a Fajita lunch two thirds into the day. The ride to the “put in” location was 30 minutes from the outpost and then when we “put out” at the end of the day we had about a 35-40 minute ride back rafting a total of 12 miles! Such a great first experience here with AVA RAFTING AND ZIPLINING! If you’ve ever thought about rafting for the first time or 50th time you should check out Avery, Kyle, and the rest of the crew at AVA RAFTING BUENA VISTA,CO! They also offer experienced guides for class 4 & 5 rapids as well! You will not be disappointed!
