Fantastic Fun! - My friends and II booked the half day Browns Canyon Rafting/ATV combo adventure and it was truly an amazing time! Andy was our rafting guide and he was so chill and knowledgeable when we had questions. We even got hung up on the rocks since the waters were down from a class IV to a class III Andy was a pro at getting us back on our journey down river and into the excitement. At the end of our river rafting Andy cooked us up a great lunch. And as if the rapids we faced didn’t get our adrenaline going enough we charged ahead with an ATV adventure thru the mountains as well. Play Dirt ATV outfitters partnered with American Adventure Expeditions for this combo trip. We had to drive to Captain Zipline to get there but that was like a hop skip and jump away from the rafting . Our guide Randy was hands down the best! He led us up some steep inclines with cliff hanging trails and the stops to take in the views were phenomenal! He was fun and full of facts about the mountains and area we trailed. The end of the trip was the best surprise, I won’t give it away, go try it out for yourself and ask for Randy as your guide trust me you’ll love it! By far the best adventure I’ve been on in a long time.

Millions of little Peaches - Family trip down the our Kansas, couldn't have asked for a better day. Some of us got to go swimming, voluntarily or otherwise, but our superhero guide Emma shocked our party when she easily tossed a 225 lb man (he would like to note: "214, max." o.O) into the boat while navigating through some fun rapids and being a constant source of great stories, clever jokes, and classic tunes.

Awesome time!! - Great trip! Perfect weather, water was a bit chilly felt good when we went thru the waves. Andy was a great guide. For being our first rafting trip on the Arkansas River we had a blast. Can't wait to go again!!
