As Mike Dunn would say to this review, "YEEHAAAW!" Very happy that you enjoyed the whitewater fun! Mike is one of our more senior guides, and really loves to share his passion for the river. We'll pass along your kudos to him! Be sure to come back and request Mike! :)

Went on two full day rafting trips with Arkansas River Tours. They were AMAZING. Great staff. Very professional and safe. Austin and Ethan were great guides both days!! Definitely planning on returning for more fun. We had 21 of us and all of us had a great time. Thanks guys!!

Safety is our number one priority and having fun comes in second. I'm glad to hear you felt that we achieved both. Thanks for the review!

We booked the afternoon intermediate Bighorn Sheep Canyon whitewater rafting trip in mid June. I would recommend the wet suit! The water flowing in the river was cold around 48 degrees from all the snow melting. We had a blast and would do it again. Millie was our tour guide and provided great instruction!

Thanks for your review Stephanie! Wet-suits in June do make all the difference for a fun and comfortable trip.
