Full Day Browns Canyon Rafting

Overview

Raft through Browns Canyon National Monument and experience the fun and excitement of Colorado's #1 stretch of whitewater. This full day small group trip extends 16 miles and the fun of the half-day Browns Canyon trip (10 miles). Typically, you will be on the river approximately 4-5 hours (varies with water levels), including lunch. Lunch in Browns Canyon features delicious deli-style sandwiches, fruit, homemade breads and fresh-baked cookies. After lunch it's back to the river, where an afternoon of rapids, including the infamous Seidel's Suckhole and drenching waves of Twin Falls, await. A must do on your Colorado Adventure Vacation!

My boyfriend and I wanted to do something different to celebrate our first anniversary together. His suggestion was whitewater rafting! After a lot of research we decided to go with Noah's Ark for many reasons. One reason is they provide a better variety of raft trips compared to other companies. We decided to do the full day Brown's Canyon trip that included lunch. A pretty good value for $90/person; we saw other companies that charged more for essentially the same thing. When we arrived they have a pretty good system. Check in - sign a waiver - get your rental clothing (if you choose so...wetsuits are evil but necessary) - grab your helmet and meet your guide. Our guide was Whitney - who was fabulous. She told us exactly what to expect and what to do if the unexpected happened - which thankfully did not. My boyfriend and I agreed, we felt completely safe with Whitney at the helm. Just listen to your guide and you should have an excellent, safe time. But more about Whitney....she had a great knowledge of the canyon and rafting. She was very personable and funny and made sure that everyone in our raft was enjoying themselves. The rapids were on point for me (boyfriend was looking for more heart-pounding thrills). The canyon is STUNNING. You will not be disappointed at all doing this trip. I highly recommend Noah's Ark.

We did the all day Browns Canyon trip. We have 3 kids - 10,13,15 - and they all loved it. The Noah's guides are the secret sauce compared to all the other rafting outfitters. Our guide, Gabby, is first class in every way. If you can request a guide, Gabby's your girl. She was great with the kids, engaged with is personally during the simple float sections and was awesome in the rapids. She even brought candy along for the final home stretch. If you do the full day, Noah's outdid themselves with lunch. It was gourmet sandwiches that were amazing. Now it's true that any food tastes good when you are freezing cold and hungry, but this was no PB&J with trail mix. Don't worry about going hungry.

I purchased 8 full day Brown's Canyon rides for my father's day gift to my grown kids and family. I chose Noah's Ark because I had used them many years ago and other rafting companies along the Arkansas River since then. This is about my 6th run here over the last 15 years. Ramsey Blahnik, our guide, was very much in control without sounding like he was barking at the crew when telling us how to paddle. We even made a few mistakes and he guided us through Siedel's Sinkhole with true professionalism. Their staff seemed to go out of their way to help us select some water wear and was very thorough in their discussions on what to expect. If I ride again, it definitely will be with Noah's Ark.
