Charlie was awesome. Luckily he was strong enough to pull my butt back in the raft since I enjoy swimming so much. Great guide

Hi Tim, We are super appreciative of this stellar review! Charlie is pretty awesome, can't disagree there. Welcome to the Arkansas River Swim Team! We hope your family will be back for more fun with Charlie and AAE next season-maybe graduating up to Browns Canyon?! 😁 🌊 Cheers

This family float beginners rafting adventure, was so much fun. We had a great guide named Justin. He was thorough about what we would experience and how to handle everything. The weather was perfect and it was a smooth float down the river. I was a little scared after hearing the wavier details, but we had nothing to worry about. I’m ready for our next level rafting adventure!!!

July 30, 2024 - Top notch operation with a great staff that ran things smoothly and efficiently. Quinn was an amazing guide. She expertly navigated my wife and I down the river with a pleasant, bubbly personality that made us wish the trip lasted longer. She described in detail many points of interest and with her knowledge of local plant life I believe she would make an excellent botanist someday! John and Maria

Hi there John and Maria, We would like to extend our gratitude to you for this magnificent review! Quinn really does know her stuff and we couldn't agree more- botany might be her calling! We hope that you will return next season for more whitewater fun with Quinn and AAE! 🌟😁 Cheers
