My wife and I try to go whitewater rafting at least once a summer and while many of the rafting companies in Buena Vista are very reliable, fun, safe, and reasonably priced, there is just something about Noah's Ark that stands out above the rest.
From the second we arrived there, we felt this very welcoming feeling and the guys there were all very attentive and made the check-in process very quick and easy. Because they do get very crowded, it's best to arrive at least 45 minutes prior to your scheduled departure time.
We rafted 18 miles of the Arkansas River on a full day adventure that included Bighorn Canyon and the Royal Gorge. Because this stretch of river requires rafting experience and is not for beginners, we had a boat full of experienced rafters which made the trip all that much more enjoyable for us.
We had an awesome guide who made sure we had fun and stayed safe at the same time. He goofed around with us in the calm sections of river but yet took his job extremely seriously in the rapids.
Because this is a Christian-run company, you can not only expect overall better service but prayer time as well and it was great that we were able to have a prayer before lunch. I do wish they had a prayer before getting in the boat as that's when it's needed the most!
I strongly recommend Noah's Ark to not only Church groups but to anyone who is looking to have a fun and enjoyable day on the river and have no problem bringing God along too!
