Our whole experience was great. Easy booking to start was nice. Staff at the Cotopaxi branch were very nice and greeted us quickly. Danny was a great guide and very helpful with all the safety stuff. Steve was a good driver on the curvy road. Once on the water danny was a great guide. He was even nice enough to throw my youngest son in the river, which made his day!! We had a great time and got to do some extra swimming that the other boats didn't get to do! My oldest son got to guide the boat along the final stretch of the trip. I would give it more than 5 stars but that's all I coud !!

Our guide was Ethan and he was fantastic! We had a 14 year old and an 8 year old and he engaged them both throughout the ride. He was funny and enthusiastic, pointing out all the rock formations and the names he’d come up with for them. The kids thought it was hilarious (so did everyone else!). We even got to surf a rapid. None of the other boats in our group got to do that and it was so fun! We all got soaked and had permagrins the whole time. From the safety/education talk from Sarah, to Jose fist bumping everyone and wishing them luck as we got off the bus, to Ethan being a top notch guide, this was one of the best rafting experiences we’ve had (my husband and I have been multiple times before). To make a teenager smile for the 2 hours we were on the river is an accomplishment. Thanks ART for making our family trip to CO one to remember!

What an amazing experience. 23 miles down the Arkansas river and memories that will last forever. From the minute we arrived until the very end of our trip, everyone was so very nice and helpful. Our guide Danny was excellent. Would absolutely do this again with Arkansas river tours.
