We had a wonderful time on our full-day trip. Our guide, Nate, did an excellent job getting us through the river and he was very pleasant and knowledgeable. We saw bighorn sheep in the morning, right on the river’s edge, so that was really cool. We loved that ART is a smaller company, so they take good care of you. We hope to return again soon and take on the Royal Gorge next time. We highly recommend this tour company!

I have whitewater rafted on many rivers around the world, and his was one of the best rafting trips. Our trip was primarily class 3 rapids, but the Arkansas River was flowing very quickly which made the trip really fun. I don't remember our our tour guides name, but he did a great job. Our trip was a full day trip which left early in the morning and covered about 26 miles. This trip was great because we were the only rafting company on the river early in the morning. Many of the other companies start their trips in the afternoon. What was great about our trip was that our raft wasn't packed. We had 9 visitors on our tour, and they split us onto two large rafts which one raft could have easily accommodated all 9. Many of the other rafting companies, that I saw in the afternoon, packed their rafts like a can of sardines. Since our trip was about 6 hours, we stopped for lunch a little over half way which through which gave a nice break to stretch and relax a bit. I would highly recommend Arkansas River Tours.
