We went rafting with The Adventure Company twice this summer. Mike was our guide each time and he was great. He's very engaging, and knows so much about the Canyon. We learned a lot and had a good time. The 1/2 day intermediate was perfect for everyone in our group of beginners.

Browns Canyon on the Arkansas River is our most popular trip! This in an intermediate trip but also not too scary for first-timers. The unique combination of lots of exciting whitewater, spectacular canyon scenery, great mountain views of some of Colorado’s highest mountains and opportunities to spot wildlife make this the ideal raft trip.

This company is organized and has their system perfected. It is best to book ahead of your trip. On line it showed they were totally booked. However when I called there was availability. We we went on a guided rafting trip in Browns Canyon. In September the water level is low so that makes for a slower flowing river. Had we known this, we would have opted for the Single duckie kayaks, as we enjoy paddling. Unfortunately due to COVID19 there was a shortage of guides and the full day guide tours was unavailable. There is a professional photographer along the riverbank during the rapid area to capture your rafting adventure.
