One of six rafts flipped after running into a huge boulder and another person fell out after their raft hit a smaller rock. No one was injured and we all shared our experiences at the end of the day and laughed about the adventure. We would all love to do it again. read less

We took Good friends of ours first time ever rafting and Margo took good care of us. Corey (Weird Beard) & Mike were great as well. Informative, knowledgeable, skilled, patient, and great humor. We picked up a nerf football, knocked over some *******, and even able to jump off our ledge (shhhh). Highly recommend this company and the group. Blessings, Margo! read less

He was patient with us even when we had one Air Force participant that was a "know it all" and was so negative about the river. I would like to come back and do the river again with Mike next year. Hoping that the water will be higher. read less

I went with a group of 6 friends and chose the Browns Canyon Intermediate Half Day trip. I couldn't be any happier, not only was the rafting a great time but I really enjoyed our guide, Randy. He was a lot of fun and very quickly taught us what to do before encountering any rapids. There wasn't one point that I didn't feel safe on the trip under Randy's guidance.
He's the perfect guide you could ask for. Throughout the trip he will tell you about the history of the area that you're rafting through as well as give you some time to just enjoy the float. Thank you so much for making such a great memory for us. We will definitely be back to visit the next time we're in Colorado! read less - ash22c9/03/2019 - TripAdvisor

Randy was a great guide and the rafting was not as dangerous as we thought. We had so much fun and even had an inflatable whale join us. We also got to see some big horn sheep along the way. I think many a lot of us will be coming back to do it again! 🙂 read less

She was highly trained and so knowledgeable of not only rafting but of the area itself. We could not have picked a better guide or company, top notch all the way around. Highly recommended for their experienced guides. They made this an adventure of a lifetime. read less
