This was a great 2 hour trek down the Arkansas river. Great views. Decent Rapids. Our guide Ellie was really nice, interesting, and knowledgeable. She had great tips about the area. Kept it simple and easy.

We had a great time rafting today with Arkansas River Tours! We did the full-day trip, with Tex as our rafting guide. I was very impressed by the precision with which he was able to navigate the river. He was patient with us as he guided us through learning the moves and how to work as a team. With Tex at the helm we all had a blast together. We had family visiting (two adults and two teenagers) and we made a memory that none of us will forget! I definitely recommend buying a picture after the trip is over. We were caught in mid-stride and having a blast!

I don't have another White Water adventure to compare it too, but my family and I had an absolute blast! Harrison (tour guide) was very knowledgeable, professional, polite, fun and great with my younger kids. We spent 6 very busy days in and around Denver on vacation and this experience my family voted the best event/experience of the trip!!!
