We had a super fun time on our tour on the Arkansas river! Our guide, Millie, was experienced and professional, and did an awesome job guiding us down the river. It was a great family bonding time, and I would totally recommend it for a family with teens!

This was an INTENSE trip! The rapids were off the hook, and we got through them. Our guide, Sarah, was very aware of our inadequacies on the water, and worked with us. There were a few moments when I was sure I was going over, but we all remained in our raft, and ended up having a great time. All the guides were great, and seemed to have fun working together. Not sure my old body would be able to do it again, but I would recommend Arkansas River Tours to all my friends!

Molly, thank you for your amazing review! We are so glad that you enjoyed Sarah as your guide--and that you stayed in the boat! Our guides love working with our guests, despite experience level! Also, we are certain that you and your group could definitely hold your own out there again! :)

I was very surprised by how fun the river was, even on a cold rainy day. Name dropping Calvin because he was a great guide, knowledgeable and entertaining.
