The Adventure Company: Reviews
Fantastic experience: We had a blast on the half-day Browns Canyon trip with Jake! He's a super experienced raft guide, great communicator, and just really cool dude we'd kick it with anywhere. The water was low since it was mid-August, but we still had a good time - just know that if you want crazy big rapids, you should book in June or July when there's peak snow melt. Also try to stay in Buena Vista at one of the hot springs resorts (Cottonwood or Mt. Princeton). BV is an awesome town, and our biggest regret of the trip was that we'd booked non-refundable lodging in Breck before TAC got on our itinerary so we had to mosey on north after rafting, when we would've much rather stuck around BV and soaked in the hot springs. Next time!
Fantastic experience: We had so much fun rafting with the Adventure Company. This is our kid's experience rafting, we did a full day rafting at Browns Canyon National Monument, and they loved it. Our guide Cortland interacted well with the kiddos, age 14 and 9. He explained everything very well from safety to the rafting trip itself, provided a step by step instruction to navigate the rapids, showed us the 2 nice spots to do a dive and provided us with a good fajita lunch. Thank you for a great adventure!! Highly recommend it!
Fantastic experience: Our two guides were great! Very professional while still being fun. Also the lunch they served was amazing.
Fantastic experience: Great experience with this smaller company. Have used AVA in past and enjoyed this smaller outfit better. Jake was a great raft guide and our young kids had a fun time. Clean restrooms and changing areas. Would definitely use this company again. Thank you for a great afternoon of ww rafting!
Fantastic experience: The Adventure Company was awesome! Super nice people and the rafting was excellent. Drayson was a great guide. He was very knowledgeable about the area as well as the river. We felt extremely safe with him. Highly recommend this outfit for your white water adventure.
Fantastic experience: We had such a great time rafting down Browns Canyon in late season. The water was low and we past a number of fellow raft groups that were stuck on the treacherous rocks exposed. Our guide, Courtland, was an expert at navigating this river and we had no problems since everyone did their parts paddling when needed. Thank you Adventure company for such a memorable experience, I cant wait to come back with more friends next summer!
Fantastic experience: We went on a full day trip through Browns Canyon with Jake. Awesome experience! Jake made us all feel comfortable and safe on our trip and did an excellent job of navigating our way down the river. Due to the water being lower this time of year there were a great deal of rocks to make our way around. I was honestly very impressed on how easily he got us through some very tight passages. We also had a great lunch of fajitas, made by Jake, on the side of the river. Would highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: Just completed a raft trip down the Arkansas river in Buena Vista Colorado. We floated through Browns Canyon with the The Adventure Company outfitters and it was extremely beautiful and fun and just a blast all around. The water was really low, but the guides did an awesome job making it fun for our family group of thirteen. We had an awesome time and all of our guides were fantastic! Shae, Simon, Free and Kaylee were all very professional, friendly and experienced. Our guide Free Thrower was great and told us the geologic history of the area as well as his original first time jokes. lol. Would recommend this company and their people very highly!
Fantastic experience: Our river guide, Free, made us feel safe, and the Milk Run was the perfect beginner run. The safety talk made us feel a little anxious at first haha and it was a little bit more of a workout than I expected (I pretty much thought it would be more of a lazy river float vibe for the milk run), but it was so fun and beautiful with the perfect amount of excitement for the whole family ❤️
Fantastic experience: Did milk run with Free as our guide. So much fun! Highly recommend this outfit
Fantastic experience: Great day on the Arkansas River in Browns Canyon with the Adventure Company! Jake was our guide and we can’t wait to go back with him again. What an amazing time and location. The day was an epic one for our first time rafting as a family. We met great people (Joe & Gina) from CO Springs too!
Fantastic experience: Jake was amazing and made our first time as white water rafters FUN… we will be back
Fantastic experience: I went rafting with a few friends this past Monday and we had a fantastic time! We did the full day rafting trip and enjoyed every second! It wasn't too busy on a Monday, so my friends and I were the only people on the boat with the guide, so it felt like a very personal experience. Our guide Myranda was absolutely phenomenal! She knew a lot about the river and other attractions in the area. She was great at describing what we were about to do and how to best prepare. Lunch was fajitas which were really good, and we were able to swim in a few different spots along the river. TAC also has jackets you can wear in case if it is cold, and GoPro helmets which you can mount your GoPro to, so I really appreciated that attention to detail on their part to have those things! I've gone white water rafting in a few different places in Colorado, but this one was by far the best and I highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Cory is a master raft guide. Very skilled and experienced. Thanks for a great trip
Fantastic experience: We are first timers and did the Browns Canyon half day with Shayna as our guide and it was fantastic! She was so personable and passionate! It was just my partner and I in our boat with her and we had the best time, highly recommend this experience and thanks again Shayna!
Fantastic experience: Our guide was Cortland, and he was great!! So knowledgeable and funny! We had a great time running the rapids, even my 8 year old grandson loved it!!
Fantastic experience: Amazing experience! Myranda was an awesome guide! She was very knowledgeable and gave us a lot of information about browns canyon and the area. We decided to do the full day browns canyon and the trip didn’t disappoint. The fajita lunch on a nice little pull off was great! We got to experience a private trip with just the 3 in our group that morning! Myranda made it really fun and I felt super safe the whole time! This is my second trip through this company and I will continue to use them everytime!
Fantastic experience: We booked the 3 hour private white water rafting excursion for Browns Canyon this weekend for a bachelor party. Such an awesome experience, insanely beautiful and a good mix of fun with a challenge. Jake and Jess were the best guides! Would definitely recommend booking with the Adventure Company.
Fantastic experience: Drayson was our guide for the numbers! Awesome experience, fun vibes, got to dip into the water at the Swiss cheese rock! Definitely will book again!
Fantastic experience: We went in our first rafting adventure yesterday with Tom in Buena Vista CO. And it was great! Can’t wait to do It again! The tour leader Corey was great too. Funny and informative. And the Browns canyon is stunning! Rafting is an awesome way to see it!
Fantastic experience: We love rafting with The Adventure Company! Highly recommend the Pumphouse Run if you have smaller kids (was great when our youngest was ~5 years old). Most recently we did the Brown’s Canyon full day which was great now that our youngest is 8. The whole family had fun! Zach and Miranda were fun, friendly and very experienced. Next time we’re back in Breck we’ll be rafting with TAC again!
Fantastic experience: This was our 2nd time with The Adventure Company doing Brown's Canyon. Liam was a great guide and had great conversation. My family of 5 highly recommends.
Fantastic experience: Class act. Everything from booking, communication, gearing up and the raft trip was top notch. Our family had a great time floating down the Arkansas through Brown's Canyon. Guides Tom and Zach were great!
Fantastic experience: Great experience! Simon was an awesome guide. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Had a great time, our guide Simon was the goat! He made sure the ride was exquisite.
Fantastic experience: Five-star experience on July 25th! I and a big ol bunch of family went out on a half day trip. Zac was the guide in my raft, and my family members and I all agreed that he did a fantastic job. Knowledge about the area, great communication, fun personality, and a wealth of experience made him a fantastic host for the seven of us. We had a blast in the rapids as well. Would gladly choose TAC and Zac again!
Fantastic experience: Good times with beautiful scenery. Took the 8a.m. trip and we're lucky/glad to more or less have an otherwise crowded river to ourselves. Getting wet was a welcomed refreshing gift.
Fantastic experience: My family took a big family trip to Colorado, most of us went rafting with The Adventure Company! Such a great experience, all the guides were amazing. Our boat had Zac! Make sure to have him if you want to have a fun and adventurous time!! Also for some fun jokes and fascinating facts about the area. : )
Fantastic experience: Shout out to Tom and Liam for such a great experience! They were so kind and knowledgeable in the river. Could not ask for a better trip. Highly recommend this company for anyone.
Fantastic experience: Always a good group of guides!! Been on two rafting adventures and cannot say enough good things about this company.
Fantastic experience: Cortland was an awesome guide! Mark’s a pretty decent owner too
Fantastic experience: Our guides Cortland and Margo were amazing! We all had a great time on the river and felt comfortable on all the rapids! Highly recommend!
Fantastic experience: This is our 2nd trip with these guys. Friendly staff and the guides Corey and Tom were great! Browns Canyon has the perfect mix of calm and slightly scary rapids for beginners. Haha.
Fantastic experience: It was my first time water rafting and I couldn’t have asked for a better experience. Treyson (I think that was our guide) was very knowledgeable & friendly. Would highly recommend this place especially if you have smaller kids.
Fantastic experience: We LOVED our rafting trip in Browns Canyon with our guide Shayna!! She did an outstanding job of guiding us down the river but still allowing us to have a fun time. She was informative and very funny. 10/10, would recommend again!
Fantastic experience: Our Guide, Simon was amazing. He was knowledge about the stuff on the tour and very personable. The whole family enjoyed the Brown Canyon tour. Would highly recommended it.
Fantastic experience: White water rafting with The Adventure Company was my absolute favorite part of visiting Buena Vista! Our guide, Liam, was super funny and knowledgeable. He made everyone feel relaxed and comfortable and made the almost 3 hour journey go by fast. Absolutely would recommend him for a good time!
Fantastic experience: Fantastic day on the river! Cortland was friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. Highly recommended for all ages. We ranged from 10 to 76 in age and great time had by all.
Fantastic experience: Great rafting trip down the Numbers with Corey. The whole trip was seamlessly run, lunch was great, and being on the water was invigorating. Plus, he’s got some great jokes that make the day fly by.
Fantastic experience: Corey was the man. Funny, kind, expert navigator. Hope all the best with healing from the loss of your dog and surgery this Fall. Thanks for an awesome trip. Also...lunch was amazing.
Fantastic experience: We did the half day am trip and had a great time. Would definitely recommend. You're gonna get wet!
Fantastic experience: Liam was a great guide and my girls had a wonderful time. Great experience!
Fantastic experience: We did a 1/2 day morning trip and it was amazing. We had a great time as a family and our guide Eric was awesome. I would recommend this trip with this group to anyone coming out to Colorado.
Fantastic experience: If you are considering white water rafting, absolutely use The Adventure Company! There were 3 of us that had never been and we had Free as our guide. We can’t express how great he was, making sure we knew what we were doing, making us feel safe and having a blast doing it. He was very knowledgeable about the Browns Canyon area and made sure we took some time to take in the views. We are so excited we did this and will definitely come back again!
Fantastic experience: Our guide Free was amazing, he was able to give instructions, knowledge of the canyon and kept everyone safe during the trip. We all had a great time and would definitely do it again the next time we visit Colorado.
Fantastic experience: Our guide Free was just what we needed! He taught us how to properly paddle and instilled great confidence in our abilities. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: Our family had a wonderful 3-day overnight trip. Our guides Shea and Jake were amazing—super friendly and very experienced. The food was delicious. We’re already talking about when we can go back and do another trip with TAC.
Fantastic experience: We did a half day trip with Zach and he was awesome! He was a wealth of knowledge about the area and the river. The scenery along Browns Canyon is beautiful and the rapids were enough to get the blood pumping but not too crazy for our kids. Highly recommend this company.
Fantastic experience: Went down the numbers with Tom, Zach and Grayson and had a blast. These guides were great on the water and off. I will definitely come back to TAC!!!
Fantastic experience: Had a great time. Tom was our guide--great command of the river, great stories. Very professional white water rafting--highly recommend!!
Fantastic experience: Wow. This trip was sick. And our guide Kotty killed it. Told us so much about the area. All facts. A true prince at navigating the river. Book that trip if you’re reading this post.
Fantastic experience: Our guide Tom was great!! He was super friendly and very knowledgable, he made everyone feel safe and had a great energy to him!! The whole time we were out there he was pointing cool stuff out to us and making sure everyone had a good time!! We will absolutely come back again :)
Fantastic experience: Went white water rafting for the first time today with my family and significant others, and before it was even over we all agreed it definitely wasn’t our last time. Our guide Tom was extremely knowledgeable about rafting, as well as friendly and focused the entire time. He also had lots of knowledge of the area and great tips about local food and things, would definitely recommend TAC and come back next time I get the chance.
Fantastic experience: Amazing! Our guide Kaylee did an excellent job of teaching and making the experience wonderful!
Thank you for sharing your experience with us, Oscar! We're stoked you had a great trip with Kaylee - she's the best! Thanks for coming rafting with us and hope to see you again next summer!!!
Fantastic experience: This is our 2nd time coming to the adventure company. Both times we did browns canyon. We had shae the first time, and shana the second time. Both guides were excellent and knowledgeable. Would highly recommend!
We're honored you came back to raft with us again, Heather! Thank you for your kind recommendation, and we're looking forward to round three! You'll be a pro in no time!
Fantastic experience: Drayson was awesome! We were on a Girl's Trip and he did a great job giving us history along the river and answering our questions. He was very knowledgeable about the rapids coming in front of us and informing us of what to do. I would highly recommend The Adventure Company and Drayson as your guide!
Looks like such a fun girls trip - thanks for sharing, Tammy!! We can't wait to take you ladies out on the river again!!!
Fantastic experience: Highly recommend! Drayson our guide was awesome. We felt very safe but had a great exciting ride! Browns canyon was beautiful. Thanks Adventure Company.
Thanks for sharing your experience with us, Denise!! We're so happy you had a great trip with Drayson - he's a pro! We're lucky to have Browns Canyon National Monument in our backyard, it's a stunning playground! Thanks for coming rafting with us, we hope to see you next summer :)
Fantastic experience: I went white water rafting on The Numbers with The Adventure Company and had an amazing time! Everything from the booking process to the staff to our experience was worthy of 5 stars. I especially want to shout out Kotty, our guide, Simon, our safety guy, and Jason, our driver. They really made our experience phenomenal. I would gladly drive 2 hours to Buena Vista to go white water rafting with them again. Thanks!
We're so happy to hear you enjoyed yourselves and everything ran smoothly for you! We weren't able to run The Numbers for all of June due to high water, so you came at the perfect time!! Thanks for coming rafting with us, and we're already looking forward to round two!
Fantastic experience: Grayson was our guide and he is excellent. Told us about the area, what to expect on the next rush of rapids and what to do. We had a blast and loved that this company wasn’t like the giant and commercialized ones that are pushing tons of people thru. Our experience was much more personalized and we loved it! Grayson is great. We would definitely highly recommend The Adventure Company!
Thank you for your recommendation and sharing your experience with us, Sue! We love to hear about everyones trips. We do value your experience and we're so happy to hear you had a personalized experience - that's our goal! Thank you for coming rafting with us, and we're looking forward to seeing you again next summer!
Fantastic experience: Drayson was a phenomenal guide! He did a wonderful job keeping us safe while having an absolute blast while we learned so much about Colorado, the Arkansas River, water, rocks and so much more! Pick the Adventure Company!!!
Thanks for your kind recommendation, Donna!! We're so happy you ladies had a blast on the river with Drayson! Your photo is epic - thank you for sharing! Thank you for coming rafting with us, and we hope to see you all again next summer :)
Fantastic experience: We had a blast! Our guide Simon was so helpful as I had two replaced knees and moved a little stiffly. We wanted to take our 8 year old grandson on his first rafting trip. Simon helped us get in the raft and out of the raft. He pointed out wildlife along the river and told stories of the area. We left a nice tip for him at the office because he helped make this trip possible.
We're so glad you had a blast on the river, Clay! We hope your grandson enjoyed his first rafting trip, and you'll come back again next summer for round two!! You lucked out with Simon - he's a pro! See you soon!!
Fantastic experience: We booked 1/2 day Brown's Canyon 8 am trip for 3 adults, for my mom's 60th birthday. We had Tom as our guide and Jason driving us there and picking us up, and they were amazing! 10/10 would raft with Tom again! My mom was very nervous, her first time doing this, and ended up having a blast. I highly recommend waking up for the 8 am trip. We had the canyon practically to ourselves, it was so peaceful. Photographer also did a great job, thank you for the awesome shots!
We're so happy to hear you guys had a blast and that your mom enjoyed herself!! 8AM trips are very peaceful, and we're glad you got to experience the canyon in the early morning. Thank you for coming rafting with us, and we hope to see you all again next summer :)
Fantastic experience: Great time on the river with Jess and Courtland for my friend’s bachelor party. Both guides did a great job getting us prepared ahead of the trip with safety equipment and a safety briefing. They were great at giving instructions and guidance on the river while sharing fun stories about the area and the river. Ginger was the best and most prompt bus driver I’ve ever seen. Absolute legend that guy! We booked the trip through Liv and the entire process was smooth and seamless. The team at The Adventure Company was great all around. Highly recommend!
Thanks for sharing your experience with us, Jared! We're super stoked you guys had a great time both on and off the river, and everything ran smoothly! You guys are welcome back anytime
Fantastic experience: TAC is hands down the best option on the Ark. we had such a fabulous day in Browns thanks to Cortland and Jess. Both are first class in every respect and so too are the rest of the staff
Thanks so much, Michael! We're so happy you enjoyed your trip through Browns Canyon, and thank you for kind feedback - we value your experience being top notch, and we look forward to getting on the river with you again soon!!!
Fantastic experience: The Adventure Company was recommended to us by locals and they did not disappoint. We had an amazing time with Cortland as our guide. He was easy going, humorous and very knowledgeable about the area which helped to make my granddaughters’ (ages 6 and 7) first river raft trip memorable. I would highly recommend them and we look forward to booking with them again in the future.
Thanks, Michelle!! We're stoked you had a great first time on the river with Cortland - we're lucky to work with him! Thank you for your kind recommendation, and we look forward to seeing you all again :)
Fantastic experience: This was my first time white water rafting and I had the time of my life!! I cannot wait to go again. Mitch, our guide, was amazing. If I had a choice he would be our guide every time. If you are looking to book, I highly suggest going at 8am. We were the only ones on the river. Company provided wet suits, wet suit shoes, jacket, life vest, helmet with go pro attachment. Thanks so much for the experience!!
We're so stoked you guys had a great time with Mitch - he rules!!! 8AM is definitely the best time to experience the canyon! Thanks for coming rafting with us, and we look forward to seeing you guys again!
Fantastic experience: Our guide, Tom, was amazing! He was knowledgeable and made us feel safe. The wetsuits were free and a great recommendation since the water was freezing. It was such a fun experience, though. Our friends, my boyfriend, his 13 year old son, and I had a great adventure on the Browns Canyon Intermediate tour. This is perfect for any beginner, but you do want to be in at least decent physical condition. We had a very athletic and strong group, so we did finish an hour early. We had to wait quite a while for the bus to arrive to pick us up because of this. I would recommend them making it easier to remember and find a way to tip our guide, though. We weren't aware to leave tips at the desk when we were there. This isn't a bad tour to take children on. It's recommended ages 6 and up, but I think maybe more like 9 and up. You must be at least 13 to participate. The guide was great about having my boyfriend's son sit next to him in the back where he would be the safest.
Thanks for sharing your experience, Kathryn! We're glad the wetsuits kept you warm and your crew had a great time!! We're experiencing an unprecedented high water year, which has required us to shift minimum age requirements daily. We are always monitoring water levels, and remaining diligent to prioritize safety on the river. As the only outfitter to exclusively hire experienced guides, this allows us to effectively manage and balance safety and fun both on and off the river, whatever it takes. As far as tipping your guide, they typically instruct people how to do so on the bus ride back to the boathouse - sorry if that info wasn't shared with you! Thank you for coming rafting with us, and we hope to see you guys again next year for round 2!!
Fantastic experience: We had Craig as a guide and he made us feel safe and secure. His safety tips were so efficient and applicable for our ride. He kept us laughing and allowed us to really experience the rapids! Highly recommend choosing Adventure Co!
Hey Josalyn! You might be looking for American Adventure Expeditions but we're stoked you had fun on the river!!!
Fantastic experience: This was our 4th trip white water rafting and first time we’ve said “We’ll be back!” Cory led us through some of the best rapids we’ve seen and by far the most instructive guide we’ve had. With Simon and Mitch alongside us ready for action and Xavier’s easy driving, we felt safe, excited, and ready to concur the numbers!
Sounds like you had a solid crew out there - we're stoked you guys had a great time both on and off the river!! The Numbers is calling your name - we are looking forward to taking you down that stretch when you guys are ready! Thanks for coming rafting with us, Kayla!
Fantastic experience: We did a father and sons whitewater rafting!! This was an awesome outing with great river guide Shea!! The half day trip was well worth every penny. I definitely recommend.
Aw we're so happy to hear you guys had a great day on the water!! Shea is an incredible guide and we're lucky to have him here this summer. Thanks for your recommendation, and we're looking forward to seeing you guys again next summer for round two!
Fantastic experience: My co-worker Deanne and I, from Swan Mountain Resort, went to The Adventure Company today to go white water rafting! It was a really fun experience and everyone with the company was so friendly and accommodating! We enjoyed a great lunch prior to getting on the bus to head to the river. Our guide Mitch was awesome and he prepared us for all the "rough spots" of our Class lll route. The scenery is so beautiful and the water was raging from huge snow melt!!! We were all in wet suits today because it was cloudy and 52 degrees on June 19th, 2024! There are many rafting companies to choose from here in Colorado, but I highly recommend going to The Adventure Company in Buena Vista - IF you really want a fantastic and memorable Adventure!! The photographer took great pictures of us too! Call and ask for Mary to book your trip while the river water is UP! Diane : )
Thanks for coming rafting with us, Diane! We're thrilled you had a great trip both on and off the river, and thank you for your kind recommendation! You guys got on the river at the perfect time of summer. We look forward to many more adventures with you :)
Fantastic experience: We had an amazing time with @CORY, @SIMON and GINGER! We’ve rafted before but this team was professional and knowledgeable about our entire experience! We came early this year in the season and the water was higher, faster and all around more exciting experience! Highly recommend this team and this company!
Thank you so much for your recommendation, Emily!! We're so happy you had a great time and could experience this legendary high water season! We're glad you felt the team was professional and knowledgable and we hope to see you again next summer for round two!!
Fantastic experience: Man did we have a blast yesterday river rafting for Father’s Day! I asked to go rafting as my gift, and we took our two young boys (11 and 8) along with the rest of the family. What a friendly, stress-free operation! Eli and her compatriots at the front desk were happy, helpful and professional. I started with a reservation for 4 and then added two separately a few hours later; Eli called me, made sure we were the same group, and put us all together - that might seem a small task, but the fact that she did it sets her apart from your typical clerk behind a counter. Our guide, Free, was a riot - just as happy and as funny as can be. And yet, standing by the river (where levels are higher than they’ve been in over a decade), he was absolutely serious and professional. As a retired Army officer, I can appreciate levity in stressful situations (it helps the nervous ones ease up), but when it comes down to the actual event at hand, you have to take safety seriously. Free embodied that concept perfectly. We had a great ride, the kids had a field day, and we couldn’t be happier. Well done, everyone!
Thanks for sharing your experience with us, and happy (belated) Fathers Day!! We're so thrilled you had a fun Fathers Day trip with the family! Safety and fun are our top priorities, especially with this unprecedented high water season. We're glad you guys felt safe and comfortable with Free and everything ran smoothly both on and off the river. Thank you for coming rafting with us, we are looking forward to rafting with you guys again next summer, and thank you for your service!!
Fantastic experience: Where to even begin! I read A LOT of reviews before settling on this rafting company and I was not disappointed Due to river conditions we weren’t able to run the Numbers trip so they were able to accommodate my boyfriend and I on the Brown’s Canyon 1/2 day trip for the same day and it did not disappoint! The company is really well-organized while still being super laidback. Corey did an absolutely amazing job wrangling everyone and kept me in stitches laughing even during the serious/scary safety stuff. We were so fortunate to have Lindsay as our main guide. I’ve only been on one river trip before so I was a little nervous. She was super knowledgeable and funny and did an excellent job with giving us all the information and instruction we needed in a direct manner while also maintaining the Type 2 fun that comes with river activities. We had an absolute blast and really appreciate the expertise it takes to guide. Absolutely we will be back… And probably again, and again, and again!
Aw wow thanks, Timiny! We're flattered! We're stoked to hear you still had a fun trip down Browns Canyon - that trip is always a blast, especially in high water! We're glad Corey and Lindsay made your trip memorable, safe, and fun! We're so looking forward to rafting with you again and again and again :)!
Fantastic experience: Had an amazing time and our guide Jake was fantastic and took great care of us. We definitely recommend this company if you plan on going down the river
Thank you for the recommendation, Justin!! We're stoked you had a great time with Jake and looking forward to rafting with you again soon!!!
Fantastic experience: What an amazing day!! All the staff were amazing, Shayna, our awesome guide, Zach, our safety cat, and Shay. Shayna was an amazing guide and we all felt very safe with her. We would highly recommend The Adventure Company!!
Fantastic experience: We took the Browns Canyon trip with our 18 year old grandson. It was great fun. Our guide Lindsay, was very capable and delightful. Everything was well organized and we were well taken care of the whole time.
Thank you for your feedback, Mike! We're so pleased to hear you had a great experience and everything ran smoothly. We really prioritize that and we're glad it was apparent. Lindsay is an amazing guide, and we're so happy you all enjoyed your trip. We'll see you next summer for round 2!!
Fantastic experience: My family of 4 including two teens had an unforgettable time! We loved the whole crew, especially our guide Mitch! We felt safe and had a blast! Thanks again! We will be back!
Aww we're so happy to hear your family felt safe and had a blast on the river with Mitch! He's a great guide and we're lucky to have him! We are looking forward to seeing you all again soon for round 2!!
Fantastic experience: We had an incredible time!! Great family activity! Corey was an awesome guide, very knowledgeable!
Thank you for the wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that you and your family had an incredible time. Corey is indeed an awesome guide, and we're glad he made your experience memorable. We look forward to having you join us for more adventures in the future!
Fantastic experience: I'm a local resident, and this is a great company to choose. We had great guides in Kotty and Jack today. Excellent gear and a top notch facility too! We'll be back in a few weeks to run Numbers with you ;);)
Fantastic experience: I went with my group from work. It was my first time and I was really nervous but excited. Free was our guide and he was OUTSTANDING! He guided us through and made us work for it, but also showed us some amazing sights. He is very knowledgeable and it's obvious he loves what he does.
We're so stoked to hear you had a great trip, and Free was able to help calm your nerves!! You're gonna be a pro in no time - we hope to see you again soon for round 2!!!
Fantastic experience: We took a group of 20 and had a wonderful time with The Adventure Company. They were professional, knowledgeable, and fun!
Thank you for your kind review, Ashley and thank you for trusting us with your group! We had a blast with you, and we're so glad to hear you enjoyed yourselves!!
Fantastic experience: We floated the Numbers full day trip on June 6th 2024 at HIGH WATER! The Adventure Company is the BEST in the business. There are a lot of companies to choose from, but TAC is by far the BEST! Their professionalism is unmatched and they take care to make you feel comfortable from start to finish. Kotty was an amazing guide and knows the river very well! Corey wasn't our guide, but is hilarious and made the bus ride to the drop off enjoyable. The kayaker(I forget his name) is a great asset to the company as well. We will never go with another company again.
Thanks Justin!!! Safety and Fun are our #1 priority! We had a great day on the river with you and we're looking forward to many more!
Fantastic experience: 6/2/2024, our family of four went on the full-day, 17-mile trek through the "Numbers" led by our truly excellent guide, Corey. (I don't know if you can specifically request guides, but Corey is the real deal!) He is a skilled guide, knowledgeable, and with a good sense of humor--exactly what you want. The flow rate for the river was about 1550cfs for our trip, so a healthy class IV rating. Corey, being more experienced and ex-military, took a little more time explaining safety and technique, but we appreciated it and felt super confident at all times on the water--even when things got a bit intense. We got a visceral reminder of why that is important just a few minutes into our trek, when we encountered a raft of another company (which will not be named) tightly pinned against a rock and all the occupants, who were thrown into the river, having swum or were pulled to shore. (Everyone was ok, although a few got slightly banged up.) Checking in on this incident, Corey offered our raft's assistance (which wasn't needed) while also skillfully guiding us through the same rapid. I'm not going to speak ill of anyone, but The Adventure Company's guides are *top-notch*. Following that, it was lots of fun. Bumps, splashes, roller-coaster waves, great lunch, etc. We even tried our hand at "surfing" the standing waves in Buena Vista's whitewater park. It was a fantastic day. We did the full-day Brown's Canyon trip with The Adventure Company last year. It was also awesomely great. If you're looking for a fun day on the water, I could not recommend Corey and The Adventure Company more.
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us, Andrew! Sounds like an epic day on the river with the best guide out there. We're glad you got a Numbers trip in before the water got too high, and already looking forward to rafting with you next summer! Thanks again for your kind review!
Fantastic experience: Everything about our experience with The Adventure Company make me want to return soon! The staff helped us select an ideal family trip through Brown's Canyon. Our guide, Kotti, was outstanding: professional, experienced, and engaged throughout a great day on the river. TAC's gear is in great shape, lunch was delicious, and a hot shower on site at the day's end was really welcome. Great time!
Thanks for coming rafting with us, Andrew! Kotty is a pro and we're so stoked you had a fun day out on the river with him! We're already looking forward to round 2!!
Fantastic experience: Awesome trip! Our second time, first time we did milk run when the kids were younger… this time they were the perfect age for Browns Canyon (9 and 11) - Free Thrower was an awesome and knowledgeable guide and he taught us so well that we caught on pretty quickly - no mishaps just lots of fun!
We're so happy to hear you guys had a great trip down Browns Canyon with Free! We look forward to taking you and the boys down advanced section, The Numbers, once they are 14! Thanks so much, Emily!
Fantastic experience: We went on an intermediate rafting trip and Lindsey was our guide. This was a girl’s trip for us and we had an AMAZING time! Lindsey was so awesome. Gave us clear and concise instructions on the do’s and dont’s with what we needed to do to be safe but while still having fun. If you ever get a chance to take one of these tours ask for Lindsey as your guide you won’t regret it! Can’t wait to visit again…THANK YOU Lindsey…from the lean back girls!
We're so glad you ladies had a great time on the river with Lindsey!! Safety and fun are our top priorities - we can't wait to have you back for round 2! :)
Fantastic experience: My wife and I rented out the adventure company's house for our wedding party in 2019. Then rafted with them before the wedding. We were impressed with not only the cleanliness of the house but the thorough safety review prior to starting the rafting trip.
Thanks so much for your kind review, Andrew! We hope you can make it back for another rafting trip and (discounted) stay in our lodge again this summer when you stay & play! A Riverhouse Lodge has been recently remodeled, and got brand new luxury mattresses this week! Our guides are still around, and they are even more experienced than they were in 2019 ;) We look forward to seeing you again!
Fantastic experience: I went rafting down Clear Creek with The Adventure Company and had an amazing time. The staff was very friendly and professional. I look forward to doing another raft trip with them hopefully soon.
Thanks for sharing, Steve!! We love to see that footage and we're stoked to hear you had a memorable time! We hope you can make it back this summer for more fun, and thank you for your kind review!
Fantastic experience: My husband and I took our grandchildren rafting with these guys. Our guide was fun, full of interesting information about the trip, competent in teaching us what to do, and easy to talk to. We loved the rafting trip and hope to do it again someday. We highly recommend using this company for a fun and exciting trip!
Deborah those pictures are epic!!! Thank you for sharing! We're so glad the whole family had a great time and you felt comfortable navigating as a team. Thank you for your kind review and recommendation and we hope you can rally the family for round 2!!!
Fantastic experience: The rafting guides are top notch. I always have a great time with all the other adventures provided like horseback riding, 4 wheelers , jeep exploration...etc
Thanks so much, Teresa! We are so glad to hear you enjoyed your jam packed trip and look forward to seeing you again this summer!!
Fantastic experience: Such a great experience! Our kids’ first time white water rafting (age 7 and 9) and they loved it! Adventurous enough for all of us, but not too scary for the youngest.
Ok, you win cutest photo ever award!! We hope to see you guys next summer - maybe even for an overnight trip?! They are unforgettable, especially for kids their age!! Thanks again for sharing, and we'll see you this summer :)
Fantastic experience: The adventure company is a small ish business with a great home town feel. Please support this company. I’ve been to a few places in Buena Vista and I’d choose this crew over and over again. Shayna, Valdez, and Squirrel were phenomenal. My friend and I were blown away by the fun we had over the course of 3.5 hours. Definitely will be back and so should you!
Thank you for your very kind recommendation, Betsy! We are so thrilled you enjoyed your trip with us! We look forward to taking you rafting again next summer :)
Fantastic experience: My family and I had a wonderful time on the Arkansas River in Browns Canyon !! We had with us a foreign exchange from Bolivia who had never been rafting before , he had a great time . I highly recommend The Adventure Company. Thank you!!
Thank you for coming rafting with us!!! We had so much fun with all of you and look forward to more time on the river with you!
Fantastic experience: Great adventure, we did a rafting tour with our kids. They still talk about it and want to go back for bigger rapids. Ross was our guide and he did a great job - navigating and motivating everyone in the boat and telling interesting facts about the area.
Sounds like a fun day with Ross!! We are so glad to hear you guys had a fun day and hope to see you again next summer for an even bigger trip!
Fantastic experience: We had a blast on our first family rafting trip! Guide Shana was knowledgeable, fun and safe the entire trip!
Thank you for choosing us to come rafting for your first time!! Sounds like a fun day on the river with Shayna! Hopefully you guys can join us again next summer for round 2 :)
Fantastic experience: Can't recommend this place enough. My family was so happy we had a great time. Myranda was a great guide!
Thank you so much, Marcus!! We're so happy to hear your family had an enjoyable experience, and thank you for your kind recommendation! We hope to see you all again next summer!!!
Fantastic experience: We did the Milk Run with Myranda today and she was awesome. This was my kids first trip down the river and she played a major part in how much they loved it. We hope to book a trip with her again in the future!
We're so glad to hear the kids enjoyed themselves on their first rafting trip! Come back soon and be sure to request Myranda !! Thank you for sharing, Alex!
Fantastic experience: What a day on the river!!! Our guide, John A., did a great job with teaching and instructing us. He was incredibly professional, while being super fun at the same time! As far as I'm concerned, Adventure Company is THE ONLY company for riding the Arkansas River!!!
You made our day!!! Thanks so much, Andrew! It was a major pleasure to have you, and we hope you'll join us again soon!!!
Fantastic experience: I took my 3 grandkids ages 6,8, and 14 on the all day trip down Browns canyon in July. Totally amazing. Our guide, Cory, was professional and ensured safety for all. Everyone had the best day ever, totally wicked!
We're so glad to hear you and the kids had an amazing and safe trip with Corey!! He is an incredible guide. We hope you can all join us again next summer for more fun!
