Great guide & crew - what a fun time! - It was such a fun time and excursion! Craig, our guide, was the absolute best! He was so knowledgeable, positive, fun and ensured while we were kept safe, that we were comfortable and having a great experience too! The best combination!! I was a little nervous about it and I could not have had a more exciting and fun time! Craig and the whole crew of guides and our bus driver really made it an experience to remember and want to do again!!

Most beautiful rafting trip - This was such a beautiful stretch of the Arkansas River. The rapids were great and we even saw some mountain goats climbing the rocks. Our guide, Julia, was an amazing instructor, fun, and pointed out interesting features along the route. Would definitely recommend! ~Tara P

Liked so much I went twice in 6 days! - I brought four friends rafting and loved it so much that I brought 7 more friends back a few days later. Guides Peter and Eric were great. Crew leader Rye knows his stuff. Always felt safe on raft. A great mix of time to enjoy Browns Canyon Monument, and excitement shooting the rapids.

Highlight of our trip - Fantastic outfit and a great value. Charlie was an incredible guide who made the entire experience fun, engaging and educational. There is a reason this group has a five star rating in trip advisor.

Great Fun - We had "Nasty" Nate for our guide and he did a wonderful job of getting us down the river. I never did a class 3 trip and was super nervous but he made me feel very relaxed. I will definitely be going back again!!!!

A beautiful and fun adventure! - Our guide Riley was terrific! She gave us all kinds of historical facts and pointed out interesting rock formations along our trip. The river was beautiful and as first timers doing any type of rapids it was just the right amount of exhilarating. Highly recommend AAE for your white water rapids tour!
