MVS 6th Grade - I took a group of 6th graders on a raft trip today, and I would highly recommend Performance Tours. Tommy and Dan were outstanding. They engaged the students and really helped them to have an awesome time. Thank you!

From 1st time rafters, to lifelong addicts. Best rafting guide on the Ark! - Kelly guided us down through Brown's Canyon at just under 1000 CFS on an overcast weekday. First off, Kelly is CLEARLY very experienced, knowledgeable, and passionate about rafting and guiding. Some of us were first-timers, and she capably prepared us to handle class 1 - 3 rapids without a struggle. We survived the Toilet Bowl at its most intimidating formation at about 950 CFS! Her experience and fun nature were demonstrated in her ability to deftly navigate the boat forward, sideways, and backwards while issuing clear commands that we followed as a group of 5. She was able to answer every question we had about rafting, safety, geography, history, navigation, past and present. Some of our party lives part time in local Breckenridge, and I have no doubt we will endeavor to return for another rafting trip. Kelly's calm, indelible guidance has instilled confidence that we might be able to challenge a more difficult section of the Ark. Lastly, the facilities were very nice, clean, and provided all the amenities we needed (complimentary wet-suits, life-vests, paddles, helmets, boots, and water-resistant jacket), and we were able to view and purchase pictures of our group immediately upon our return to attached gift shop. The photographer took 14 pictures of us, all of which were of high quality, with sharp, fast shutter images that captured every detail from the drops of crashing white water, to each of our unavoidable smiles.

Be ready for some big waves and the toilet bowl - My fav part was getting to seen the teamwork and mountains when we were rafting. One thing to know when you go is they provide water suits ,water shoes ,helpmates ,paddles, splash jackets, life jacket.

Browns Half Day With Cole - We had such a fun time rafting down Brown's Canyon with Performance Tours. This was our first experience with white water rafting. Water flow was 1000 CFS. Performance Tours is a very professional and fun group. Well organized. Their equipment was good and they even provided water shoes and wet suits. Our trip was delayed an hour by no fault of Performance Tours (Thanks Le Mert family!) Cole was a fantastic guide. He was very knowledgeable about the river, rafting. We felt safe. We got stuck on a rock and he calmly talked us through the steps to get unstuck. Our favorite was "pop up and down like pop corn" I almost chickened out but I am glad I didn't. It definitely was a bucket list experience. Thanks for a great time. I highly recommend!

Great experience & Super Friendly Staff - This was a first for 3 of us and the other 3 had done it before. We were well prepared ahead of time in the event any went overboard. A rock surprised all and 3 did break loose and fell in. Everyone went to work and pulled them in before we hit the next rough spot. All was well. Thanks for a great experience. I highly recommend!
