Your facilities were super clean with a place to change and go to the restroom. Most importantly your staff members were so nice, patient and helpful. Our guide Mike Talent was superb at his job. He guided us down The Numbers and through our full day excursion with great care. He also answered my 1,000 questions without getting annoyed. Your team in the retail shop and office were also very helpful. Molly might be the nicest person we have met on our vacation. I will recommend you to all of my friends who come out. FYI we floated Flathead in Glacier last year and the Arkansas float is better-faster, more rapids and maneuvers to make but much more rewarding. read less - 7/12/2022Brittney L

We had the best guides, Corey and Collin, they made the trip fun and memorable. They were very professional and knew the ends and outs of the river.

The rapids were the perfect level for our new to rafting family. Our 9-year-old daughter was leery of the trip but Brody, one of our guides, was excellent and really helped her feel comfortable during the experience. The adventure company is well organized and friendly and took the time to answer all our questions. Our whole group, of 10 people, ranging in age from 9-65, loved the experience. Excellent work Brody and Wilson! Thank you for a fun day! read less - 7/06/2022

My 7 and 9 year olds loved it and our guide, Paige, was knowledgeable, friendly, and safe. We were fortunate enough to have our own raft and felt very comfortable doing this outdoor activity. The company provided clean masks, helmets, and life vests. We had an amazing time and hope to be back soon. You can definitely tell that the employees genuinely enjoy what they do. read less - 8/14/2020

My kids (ages 16, 13, and 10) and I all had more fun than we ever could have dreamed. Brody, Kotty, and Page were the guides for our pod. Brody was a riot! Kotty was full of energy and good information about the Arkansas River and the mountain ranges surrounding the valley. The lunch, cooked right there on the bank of the river, was REALLY delicious. As my ten-year-old said, "Their fajitas are better than Chipotle!" For non-rafters, the price might initially seem a little high, but for a full day of fun, it's a great value. Really. (And if you shop around, you'll see that The Adventure Company's prices are actually cheaper than most competitors.) We are already planning our next trip. read less - 8/07/2020

The contactless registration and the friendly staff, all wearing !, made us feel very safe to do this activity in the middle of a pandemic. Our guide was very thorough in training us in how to paddle and the safety guidelines before we started rafting. He was also very good with the kids and made them feel involved; even the 6 year old. He also pointed out points of interest along the way, explaining the history of the nearby mountains, as well as of the local community. We had never been rafting before, and it was a great experience. I highly recommend them and would do it again on a return visit. Exceptional! read less - 7/22/2020

Browns Canyon is beautiful with other worldly rock formations. Guide Patty B. was great, experienced, made the trip fun. We felt safe with the COVID-19 precautions taken. Everything was well organized and on-time, and the staff was knowledgeable and personable. This outdoor adventure was well worth it. We'll use TAC again on our next trip. read less - 7/09/2020

He and the other guides who joined us on the trip took extra care to keep us safe and followed procedures to help follow Covid protocol. The trip was VERY exciting and Jessie provided us with details about the river, what to expect at each #area, and proved to be an expert guide. I was initially nervous as this was only my third whitewater experience, but I soon felt very capable and ready for adventure. Jessie also went above and beyond by telling us geographic information about the area as well as about the wonderful town of Buena Vista. We had lunch at a local restaurant and followed it with yummy ice cream at a local creamery. We had a memorable fun day thanks to Jessie and the rest of the crew at The Adventure Company. You can't go wrong with an adventure with them! read less - 7/05/2020

We got outfitted with PFDs and hopped in the van for a 5 minute trip to the drop-in point. Our guide, Swany, provided a very thorough safety overview before we got in. He and the rest of the folks we met were lovely, had a great sense of humor, and shared expansive knowledge of the natural history of the area. The kids had a blast. Most importantly to the times we live in, this outfitter took every precaution to prevent COVID19 spread, including providing gator masks and regularly disinfecting the vans, boats, and equipment. Two thumbs way up. A must-do on a trip to BV/Salida. read less - 6/19/2020
