Super fun trip on a low year for the Arkansas river. Heather was our tour guide and she did an amazing job directing us through the rapids down the river. I felt very confident with her expertise and the safety of this company. I am a very nervous person when it comes to stuff like this, so I highly recommend the intermediate level for people like me. There were just enough rapids to offer a thrill, but enough downtime to enjoy your surroundings! Great company and great experience!

Very glad that you had a blast with Heather, and that her experience and focus on safety put you at ease! The Bighorn Sheep Canyon stretch really is the perfect way to get some thrill while still being able to enjoy the scenery! Please come back to join us on the river (and don't forget to request Heather)!

As first time rafters we wanted some excitement and not just a float so we went with Bighorn. It was so fun. We all loved every minute. Ethan was a great guide and did a lot of work. He was very friendly and great with our kids. The photo says it all.

We did the Raft and Rail trip and loved it. Our first family whitewater rafting trip could not have been better. Even our 8 year old son who was a little nervous had a BLAST, and even jumped into the river to float alongside the raft during a slow point in the river. Ali, our guide, took great care of us, teaching us everything we needed to know to paddle, and then expertly guiding us thru the river. We didn't get too wet but still had fun. I recommend the 1/2 day Bighorn Sheep Canyon trip for anyone with kids as a great way to experience rafting as it provided some challenges but nothing too crazy. Everyone at Arkansas River Tours was helpful and really good with kids.
