The entire experience was great from the beginning. Booking was easy, a reasonable cancellation policy, and price were totally in line with the service and experience. The staff was so friendly and professional while being welcoming and making everyone feel comfortable. It was my first time on the river so I was a little apprehensive but Danny was amazing and in no time I felt safe and comfortable. The river is lower in August but there were still plenty of splashes and several Level 3 areas. I will definitely be back - hopefully next June!! If you get the chance to go next season, definitely ask for Danny. He's a great guide and very personable. He's kind of cute too!! Thanks everyone at Arkansas River Tours!

Arkansas river tours made it super easy to book and I loved how seamless the checkin process was plus they took care of everything! All I had to do was sit back, relax and enjoy the trip! Buddy was a great guide explaining the local history of the area and walking us through how we could set up for each rapid for ensure safe and fun travel down the river! :) can’t wait to go try out the advanced river trip next!

We had an awesome trip today with Amanda as our guide. She was knowledgeable of the rapids and was entertaining also. We highly recommend Arkansas River Tours if you are in the Cotopaxi area.
