great rafting trip - We enjoyed our family rafting trip on Browns Canyon half day trip. Thank you, Ania and Nate! It was safe (despite high water volume) and exciting. My oldest teenger smiled, which doesn't happen everyday. Nate had some interesting facts to share, though he could have said them louder for people in the back to hear. We saw bighorn sheep. We payed a group rate, but we got a private rafting experience because there were no other groups at this time. I would do this again again, maybe the full day.

Free but not quite easy - Terrific adventure, even for a first-timer. During the first part of the trip our guide, Free, trained us up on paddling technique, and then adeptly took us through the often busy series of rapids, applying the occasional correction when we didn't quite execute. Shooting the rapids was a blast, of course, and the quieter periods between rapids gave time to enjoy the views around Browns Canyon.

Dvorak Expeditions is the Best. - Dvorak Expeditions is the first licensed outfitter in the State of Colorado and it shows in the quality of its operations. it you don't want to be one of a hundred other participants with some of the larger whitewater rafting companies, I highly recommend the personal attention that Dvorak Expeditions offers. The Dvorak guides are very experienced and highly trained. You will not find a better rafting company than Dvorak Expeditions.

Great Experience - Excellent experience. Smaller rafting company/guide service that went above and beyond to make sure we were well informed and had a great time. Andres was an excellent guide!
