Browns Canyon on the Arkansas River is our most popular trip!

1/2 day trip with large family group

5.00I would HIGHLY recommend this company to anyone! From start to finish the staff was so nice and welcoming, knowledgeable, funny and made you feel like part of the family. Bathroom facilites were clean and the showers were a unexpected bonus to warm up after the trip! Equipment was well taken care of and the staff spent time doing safety checks and making sure everyone was comfortable. I normally dread the bus rides to the water due to being to anxious to start the fun but with this group I was highly entertained! Cory was very knowledgeable about the surrounding area and is humor made the bus ride feel like you were one of his buddies. The trip down the river was amazing! The breathtaking views and the rapids had my whole family smiling. Thank you to everyone at Adventure Company especially Cory, Paige and Stone. You gave us the best day!

5.00My family did a half day kayak trip with Shayna. So much fun and Shayna was an amazing guide on a challenging river due to low water levels. I have used Adventure for 8 years and won't book any where else. So professional and my kids and I always make great memories! And the fajita lunch is awesome!
5 stars. Awesome experience for first timers.

5.00An AMAZING Trip!!! We love the fact that The Adventure Company uses guides that have had a year of experience under their belt before guiding. Miranda our guide made us feel safe and confident, allowing us to experience the river at our capabilities. All of us were strong rafters and she used our skills to help us enjoy a new experience to Browns Canyon. Her team members on the other rafts were engaging with all of us and Kotti knew so much about the geographics of the area. We would highly recommend The Adventure Company as a rafting company that puts you first and exceeds your expectations. We cannot wait to go back.
