Trip Reviews

They helped my family of 6 find the best trip...
★★★★★
“ The staff at ART was great. They helped my family of 6 find the best trip... and they didn't disappoint. Our guide Calvin made the trip fun for our kids by giving paddle high fives after completing a rapid, letting the boys ride cowboy style on the front of the boat, and making sure we were safe. We'll be back for sure!”
- Jon Reaves

My husband and I went with our 10 and 8 year old's and had a great time!
★★★★★
“ My husband and I went with our 10 and 8 year old's and had a great time! Our guide, Kyle, was amazing and the rapids were very splashy but not too scary. We jumped out and swam at the end.”
- Daniel Freund

It was definitely a check on our bucket list
★★★★★
“ We had an amazing rafting experience with Arkansas River Tours. From greeting staff at the door to the entire experience it was well worth it! We are a family of four with a 10 year & 13 year old. First time whitewater rafting and it was just the right adventure level. AMAZING Mountain Views’! We were in compete amazement and our tour guide Ron John made it a great experience! Truly the entire crew was fabulous. It was definitely a check on our bucket list and look forward to doing it again in the future! A big thanks to the entire staff!!”
