We had small children with us, and the entire team made us feel completely safe and well taken care of. Our guide, Free, was amazing--super knowledgeable, calm, and hilarious.

Can't recommend Independent Whitewater enough, especially if you're bringing young kids. Ask for Free--you won't regret it!

It was a beautiful ride through Brown's canyon, we will highly recommend Salida River Adventures to anyone considering rafting on the Salida/ BV area!

I love that! There was little need to ask questions about the logistics of what we needed to do where we needed to go. They crushed it! I appreciated the genuine interaction with the staff again, from the time we entered the storefront, getting equipped with , instruction and training, the ride to and from the river, and of course, the on river experience. They knocked it out of the park! I have gone rafting in a number of places with a number of different outfitters. This business being small, fills in all the personalized gaps that you lose in larger companies. Kudos to Salinas adventures!...thanks Angie! I would recommend without hesitation, and if I live closer, I would return... Hands-down!

Noah's Ark staff truly went the extra mile in getting to know my family, engaging my children, and encouraging us at every skill level. Their safety and attention to detail was top notch. Our rockclimbing leaders were Cole T, Luke B and Gra. Cole was fun and genuine- kept the energy going the entire time. Luke asked great questions to get to know us and laughed at all our jokes. Gra was SO empowering as we each climbed. She gave my teenage daughter the sweet boost to try a second time and make it to the top!! On to rafting..... Garrett balanced a calm laidback feel to our trip while navigating perfectly. He wore our family's war paint and even though he was already losing his voice- answered every one of my 11 yo's 27k questions. I appreciate that Noah's Ark gives my children role models. And EVERY staff member makes you feel like you are their favorite!!! Nailed It!!! Keep keeping on!!! The Althouse Family

John-o was our guide and he was great. He did a good job reteaching us the basics and knew the river quite well. Outside of that, he had some good geological knowledge and dad jokes as well. My buddy's wife couldn't come at the last second and they gave me a gift certificate which was cool as we thought he wouldn't get anything. The only thing I didn't love is there isn't anything to drink once you step on the bus so I would have brought some water but still highly recommend them.

That being said they ABSOLUTELY SHOULD NOT have brought there elderly parents on this river! Anyone that knows Colorado should know that The Gorge is one of the most difficult rivers to run. Thus, this old man lasted 20 min before he had to be literally tied into the middle of the boat along with his wife. This lead to only 4 of us paddling! Again, great time because how could you not on a beautiful day with the Gorge but keep old people that can't even barely walk nor paddle off the river!

WOW what a time. My…read morefriend and I signed up with this company to take us on a 2 day extreme class IV/V Overnight rafting trip on the Arkansas river. We both have experience with this company from rafting the Upper Salt River in AZ. Unfortunately the water levels didn't cooperate but, the rafting company modified the itinerary to give us the best possible adventure possible. Day upper upper Browns Canyon which led to class I've and the use of duckies. Operation am not a fan but, half of our group loved them. We were then driven 1.5 hours away for our dinner and tent camping (3 miles from our put in). Ryan and Eric our guides cooked a great meal and catered to the group. We awakened to a mist and heavy fog, which we were served pancakes and sausages for a warm breakfast, and let's not forget hot coffee. We then departed at 8:30 for our trip down the Royal Gorge were we hit class in rapids, lots of class 3s, great geology, good company, lots of fun and a great experience. Ryan our lead guide and Eric did a great job for 2 days of providing us a great experience and memories. You have many choices but from a personal experience this is the best company to deal with. We are already planning next year's multi day trip.

Definitely recommend booking a trip with RMOC!
