The rafting was amazing and the staff was even greater! I went on a half day trip with 8 friends, and after getting ready and listening to the safety precautions I was much more nervous than I ever anticipated. I was very thankful for the trip leader (I can t remember her name!) and our guide, Cale, for being COMPASSIONATE and flexible! Cale was intentional about putting me in a spot that was less aggressive and didn t require me to paddle. I ended up loving the experience and I would definitely do it again. I even went back a few days later to buy a shirt! 10/10 recommend this outfitter.

Our guide moved us thru the water with ease. Parker did an amazing job keeping both families safe and on target. Thank you to all the staff for your kind and excellent service, see you again next year.

Absolutely a fantastic adventure. This was the second time I have braved the Arkansas River with Noah's Ark. The first time was in 1989 when I was still in junior high school. It was an amazing adventure then, and the experience was just as I remembered, if not better. The people are outstanding, the guides do a tremendous job creating a safe and fun atmosphere, and the rafting exciting. My kids (14/12) will never forget their ride down the mighty Arkansas River.

Went rafting here all day and our guides Tanner and Madi were amazing! They taught us very well on how to maneuver the boat and stay safe even in heavy rapids! Great for adults and children alike!

We had an awesome day on the river with Suz as our guide! She was sweet, knowledgeable, and so much fun. Noah s Ark is probably the best option for rafting in Colorado. They have an amazing staff and facilities. We d absolutely raft with Noah s Ark again.

I attended a bachelorette party here recently and we had such a great time! It's hands on enough that everyone felt safe but hands off enough for everyone to have a lot of fun! The ropes course was challenging and had so much to do, and rafting was so amazing. Brown's Canyon is beautiful from the water, and all the staff was great. Shout out to Anna on the rafts and Taylor on the ropes course, both were so fun to work with.

This was the highlight of our Colorado trip. The water was great and the raft trip was thrilling. Our guide Skaggs was top notch! Despite unusually high waters for this time of year making the rafting a little more intense, safety was first with all the group leaders. They make a great team. The route takes you through a beautiful stretch of river. I'm so glad we did this!

6 of us fell out of the boat. Scary experience feeling helpless in high moving powerful waters. They say that rarely do people fall out, and we had 6.
Our guide took us near huge boulders and we hit several of them like it was no big deal. The waters were higher than they've been in a couple years. It didn't take much force for all of us to fall out. It was a terrifying experience and I will never be going again.

I had never been whirte water rafting before this visit. I ended up foong the Brown's Canyon half day trip. I had a great experience!

Before even getting in the water the staff was super friendly, positive, and helpful. For example one of the guides, Jordan, went over the required safety briefing, and managed to make it rather entertaining, and informative.

My guide, Gabe was super friendly, he even learned everyone's names! When the actual rafting started the guides lead all the boats through the canyon safely , all while pointing out some of the natural features and explaining a bit of the history.
On the bus ride back the guides put on a bit of a skit. It was very playful and entertaining! It made the otherwise normal bus ride extra special.

If I'm ever back in the area for rafting I'll definitely go with Noah's Ark Whitewater Rafting again!

We took our family here in August and did the white water rafting. The whole experience was awesome! All the people that worked there were very nice and generous. They made the experience that much better!! Shout out to Country Caleb from the KC group, you were the best!!!

Our Vrbo owner recommended we choose Noah's and we are so glad we did. Our experience from check in to boarding and running the river was top notch, it was so well organized. Maggie was our guide and she was fantastic! She was very friendly and so kind to all of our kids. The trip through the canyon was breathtaking and the river was awesome. Be prepared for a very humorous ride home on the bus, its a "class 5 mountain bus ride" Thanks to our trip leader Garrett and his crew. We will be back again.

I can see why this place does so well. The prices are fairly cheap, energetic guides, and overall an extremely family oriented place to go. Our groups guide was Wes. He was funny, energetic, and guided the river well. My only complaint is that I wish the rapids were a bit more thrilling and crazy but you can't change that so it's ok. Overall though a fantastic experience.

Great Guide Sam! Enjoyed the whole rafting experience. I don t know how to swim and was pretty afraid but all that turned to excitement and fun with Sam as our tour guide. He is a great paddler and let us row only when required on a paddle boat. Went through half day afternoon Grade 1-3 rafting on my first rafting experience!!!

Great funny ride back on bus back to Noah s Ark Office. Would suggest everyone to try this place out. Especially, possible get Sam as tour guide.

We went rafting as a family (kids 6yr and 10 yr). We really enjoyed the guide steered boat along with our random paddling. It eased our minds knowing that our kids could be sandwiched between us and that they didn't have to paddle through the Rapids. The guide was extremely helpful in pointing out different land Mark's along the river and making us feel very at ease. The pictures taken on the rapids were also very good! We loved that our time was captured for us. We would definitely draft with this company again.

This is literally this best place ive been in my life the guides were awesome the things we did we so fun and amazing and i really think whoever reads this need to go shoutout to walker and davis (our guides at noahs)

We came to BV with plans of riding dirtbikes and the UTV, but when we lost an axel yesterday on the trail, we decided to go raftting the next day instead. Noah's Ark was amazing. All of the staff were friendly and helpful. Their entire team was well trained and we knew we were in good hands. Wholeheartedly recommend Noah's Ark.

I took part in a full day raft with one other person. There were three boats in total as we traveled down the river about 17 to 19 miles. This was my first time rafting in this fashion and I have to say it could not have gone any better.

The water flow is very, very high this time of year and according to the guides this is the highest it has been in a long time. That means the water flows very quickly, thus the rapids are larger. The guides expertly navigated even a beginner like myself easily through the rapids.

We had a fantastic lunch thanks to Noah's and quite a few incredible experiences. If you plan on going white water rafting you should seriously consider going with Noah's.

We had Ben D today for our all day trip and he was very warm, personable and made us confident in the ability to get down the river safely. From check in to check out Noah s Ark is a smooth operation. No swimmers in our group today!

These are high quality people who care about your safety & experience. They are excellent hosts and experienced guides who make the stay easy and the rafting fun. I hit this place with some buddies a couple of years in a row, rafting upper portion of the river one year (including an overnight stay on the river) and the Royal Gorge the next. You really can t go wrong with these folks!

It was wet, wild and FUN!! We had the best guide. Daniel told us bits of information about sights along the way. He was interested in us and made us feel very safe and confident in our paddling skills. (first time for many of us) This is something I would do again. Thank you Daniel!! And a big thanks to the other guides that kept us entertained on the bus ride back.

What a fun place for a beautiful Colorado adventure! Noah's constantly has a GREAT group of people which always makes for a fun experience. Amazing views of the newly appointed National Monument BROWNS CANYON! Their aerial adventure park is awesome too! We can not recommend this place more.

The entire excursion was incredible. The raft guides are extremely knowledgeable, funny, and patient (Hanna was ours and you can tell she absolutely loves what she does). She briefed us with what to expect before each rapid and gave us clear instructions on what we needed to do. Noah's ark has all the necessary equipment available for rent (wet suits, water booties, helmets, etc). There is also a professional photographer on the river who takes pictures during the excursion; the photos are available on a CD for purchase at the end! The Arkansas River itself is beautiful, and Noah s ark does a fantastic job of allowing its clients to experience all it is has to offer. It was the best rafting experience we ve had in all of Colorado, and we have actively told our family and friends about the trip. We will certainly be back.

Had a great time! River was perfect! Views were amazing! Rapids were SOOO FUN!!! Our guide Ben did a great job of making the trip exciting fun and safe. What a delightful experience! We will be back!

I had a really fun time at the Noah's Ark rafting and I would definitely do it again. before we took off we prayed for a safe trip. I love how the guide starts making conversation with you and gets to know you a little bit more. It is really fun and don't worry if you forget some water gear you can rent some from them. I definitely recommend this place for you and your family.

This was an excellent experience all around! Our guide was professional and personable and very safety conscious. The river was great and we all had a wonderful time. They also have hiking excursions, rock climbing/rappelling, and an aerial ropes course available. If you can, do them all!

We had an amazing time at Noah's Ark Whitewater Rafting!!! Our guide, Devin Toll, made the experience great! He told us the names of all the rapids as well as some of the rocks. The technical rapids were a piece of cake with him guiding! He made sure we were safe as well as have fun! We would definitely recommend using Noah's Ark Whitewater Rafting!

This was a very enjoyable experience. I came in a large group but they handled us all very smoothly. Our gide was River Jack and he was very kind, pointed out all the features and land marks. No one fell out and we all had fun.

Loved it! Our river guide Brady was awesome. The river was running higher than usual due to recent rains but he navigated us inexperienced rafters very well. There was a lot of friendly banter between our group and the guide which made it an enjoyable and memorable trip. He also did a great job of pointing out things of interest during the calmer parts.

This is a great place to go rafting, The guides give you a step by step rundown of what to do if your raft flips or if you fall out. Thankfully I was paying attention lol. Our boat was the first to flip with their company in about 7 or 8 years and even then everyone got back on safe and quick. I would definitely go again.

Noah s Ark is one of a number of river rafting companies in the upper Arkansas River Valley. We rafted with them last week and had an excellent experience. They rent any clothing or gear you may need; their facilities are well organized and clean; the river guides are experienced, friendly and funny while emphasizing safety. We would definitely go with Noah s again. Big shout out to our guide Austin from Texas!!

Props to our guide, Anna C. and the pilot of our co-boat, John D.
Anna started having back pain half-way through (maybe an old high-school injury) and had to swap out with another guide at a boat ramp. The fellow staff literally carried her to the truck so she wouldn't have to put pressure on her back and kept saying things like, "Take care of our sweet Anna." I don't think brothers and sisters even treat each other so good.
It didn't slow down our float one bit since their communication was so good and they had Anna's replacement to us to rendezvous. It was truly inspiring to see the love and care they show one another.

A lot of fun and the staff was nice. Expensive in my opinion. The part we liked the most was climbing a thirty foot pole to a tiny platform and then jumping off. They belay you so there is no danger but it sure feels dangerous.

Austin H. You sir were the very best guide we could have ever hoped for. I took 5 of my 7 kiddos on the white water with you and the fact that 4 of 5 of them we terrified and not greats swimmers had me so nervous but you did an amazing job at making the trip fun and not scary at all. Everyone enjoyed themselves and wanted it to keep on going by the end of the trip. Your calm, fun demenor and attention to details made all the difference! You and your team worked amazingly together and gave us some memories we will never forget! Thank you Austin anf the rest of the team at Noah's Ark. We truely were blessed by you!

Great tour, i just wish our guide would have told us that there was a professional photographer taking pics..... our son was placed in the back of the raft as his request so he wasn t in a single photo. Had we known about the photos we would have had him stay up front with us.

Great rafting company with a fun ropes course. If you're looking for a trustworthy, wholesome place for family rafting, this is IT. We have taken many rafting trips over the years and every guide was well-trained and safety oriented. It's also convenient that they can drop right into the river from their location.

We had a fantastic time at Noah's Ark! All the staff members have great energy and are very knowledgeable. They do a super job of preparing you before and during the trip. Alex was our guide and he was SUPER! The equipment is very up to date and you can reasonably rent the clothes needed all the way down to the booties for your feet. We did the half day and if we come back to Colorado we will be doing the full day next time. It was the highlight of our vacation!

Two of our three son's had gone white water rafting, and strongly encouraged our family to experience it on our summer vacation. Jesse, our navigator, did an awesome job of leading us down river, providing instruction, making sure we remained safe and that everyone was having fun as we enjoyed the rapids and the spectacular views of the canyon. We all had a great time!!

Professional and positive staff. They have worked very hard to craft and create a culture here that is both exemplary and enjoyable. Our guide, Caleb, was confident and encouraging the entire time. Good times!

A wonderful trip in every way- from the trip planning/phone calling for directions, etc./ to the actual trip and rafting down the river. We loved all of our guides, they kept us safe and gave us an unforgettable trip that we will cherish forever. I would recommend Noah's Ark to ANYONE going to Colorado. I've done this trip as a young girl and now as an adult and have loved it both times. We took a group of high school students on our way up to another camp, and it was the perfect trip to start out our amazing week. I was thoroughly impressed by Noah's Ark and their staff, and I definitely plan on returning in the future. I know our entire group felt the same way. This trip is well worth the cost, and you'll leave more than satisfied!

It was my first time whitewater rafting and i could not have had a better experience. Staff was SUPER kind and energetic, got to know us personally while we were on the water, and was just great! Wes was our guide; he'd been working there for 6 summers although he was still in college. He knew so much about the mountains and history of native American tribes associated with the area. Could not have asked for a better guide or had more fun!

We have been going rafting with noah s for years and absolutely love it. They have the best and most fun staff, highest level of safety, and an overall great atmosphere. We have also been doing their ropes course the past three years and have loved it.

You will not find a better place to have an adventure with your family!
