Colorado Rafting Adventures is a great rafting company located on the extremely popular Arkansas River near Buena Vista Colorado. They are a slightly smaller company than some of the others, but that was a great benefit to us as it made our bus ride out and overall trip much more enjoyable. Our introductory instructor was Evan who is guiding this river for his second year (I believe) and he was funny while teaching us what to do in situations we may run into on the river. Our actual guide was Brett (Evan was in the other raft) who has been running the river for 4 years. He did an awesome job telling us about the area, the river, and rafting. He also took the time to get to know our family (2 adults and 3 kids) and was full of jokes.
This was our 2nd rafting trip as a family (different locations) and my 3rd. Brett knows his river and craft better than any guide I have had or any of the other guides we saw while on this trip. He kept everything fun for us hitting much bigger waves and drops than many of the other guides in the companies ahead of us. He also made the time when we weren't in rapids very easy as he kept the boat in the main flow or out of the flow as needed to keep proper spacing away from other groups. We kept watching other groups having to paddle and work to get in the right spots or bouncing from rock to rock in sections of the river, but not our boat. The entire experience was great and we highly recommend Colorado Rafting Adventures and specifically Brett if you can request him!
