My brother suggested a white water rafting trip when I came to visit him in Colorado. He booked our trip with Arkansas River Tours and they delivered a great experience. They provided all the equipment and the staff made sure we were fitted properly, then went over safety rules. Once in the water we were given instructions on where to sit and how to paddle, then we had time to practice before starting down the river.
Austin was our guide and he made sure we had a good time, interacting with us, doing paddle high fives and sharing interesting facts as we went down the river. During the large rapids Austin was good about telling us what to do, and I felt safe the whole time. It was just our family of four but by the time we were done we felt like Austin was a part of our family. I will definitely book another rafting trip the next time I am in Colorado.
