Full Day Intermediate Rafting Trip in Browns Canyon

Full Day Intermediate Rafting Trip in Browns Canyon

Overview

Browns Canyon on the Arkansas River is our most popular trip! This in an intermediate trip but also not too scary for first-timers. The unique combination of lots of exciting whitewater, spectacular canyon scenery, great mountain views of some of Colorado’s highest mountains and opportunities to spot wildlife make this the ideal raft trip.

Please note that we offer over 20 trips on 4 rivers. However, not all trips are able to be booked through Trip Advisor. Please contact us directly for more detailed information about the many whitewater raft trips that we offer.

Thanks Swanny. We had a great trip. You took all of the right lines through all of the rapids. We really appreciate you taking care of my wife as she was very apprehensive and you made her trip great as well. Thanks

Today was our third year to go rafting with The Adventure Company (TAC). We started out with them when my boys were 7 and 8 Years old on the upper Colorado. Then we did Browns Canyon 1/2 day last year. Today we did Browns Canyon full day. Our guide was Alex Wilson, and we had an absolutely amazing time. TAC did a great job with making us feel comfortable during this difficult time with Covid-19. Our driver was Ginger, and he had a funny sense of humor. The most important part of the equation is the river guide. You should look for several things in your guide. For example, you hope they truly love their job; because if they do, then you cannot help but smile and laugh the whole way down the river. Also, you hope that the guide is knowledgeable of the area and has interesting stories and history to share with you. Most importantly, you have to have a guide that makes you and your family feel safe. Without, this aspect, the earlier points are irrelevant. Wilson made me feel safe, but more important I knew he was making sure my boys were safe. This made it so I didn’t have to focus the whole time on my boys; and instead, I was able to enjoy the water, the amazing views, and the fun stories. On top of that, for as well as you can get to know someone in a day on the river, Wilson struck me as a good person you just enjoyed hanging out with. Thank you TAC. Cannot wait to see everyone next year.

Wow, thank you for the honest review. Your insight is exactly why we choose to hire only guides with previous rafting experience. Only an experienced guide can provide you with the trip you received. Thank you.

While it was cold and rainy, the day was a blast! We really enjoyed the experience with Jonathan Morris. He is very knowledgeable of the area and 25+ years/7,000 trips down the river makes you feel like you can conquer anything! Highly recommend!
