We were on a quick weekend trip for my twins birthday. We started the day getting fitted and geared up for our rafting experience. The staff was great! Our group consisted of 3 rafts & a couple "duckies". We loaded the bus & had a very humorous but informative ride to the drop off point. Our raft guides were Jessie,... More

I've been whitewater rafting several times and obviously the conditions make a big difference in the quality of the adventure. That being said my trip on 8/18/12 was lacking in rapids but the professionalism of Buffalo Joes was top notch. Their check in, attention to safety, and knowledge of the river made for a pleasant trip.

We vacationed in Colorado and contacted Buffalo Joe's because of my husband's past experience with Four Corner's Rafting. We did the all day Browns Canyon trip and we are a family of 5 (kids are 7,9 and 16). We all loved it! We had a couple days to pick from and BJ's gave us a recommendation on the best day... More

Took two skeptical young daughters down Brown's Canyon on first rafting trip and they loved it! Jesse, our guide, was the Jeff Spicoli of the Arkansas and quickly put the kids at ease and made the trip not only fun but educational...who new that your Chia Pet could be so nutritious! Thanks to all the staff at Buffalo Joes for... More

We did the 2 day overnighter on the 27th July 2012. The check in was a bit hectic with several parties arriving and getting their gear together. We met our guide Travis and headed about 10 miles to the launch area. The weather was perfect the first day but a bit cloudy the second. However, the rafting was still spectacular.... More

We did a family float with our 3 kids ages 12, 8, and 3 and the whole family had a great time. The kids still talk about it.....well that maybe because Mom and Dad flipped off the raft. Our guide Margo was great about getting us back in the raft and taking care of the kids. The water was very... More

~Thanks so much for the wonderful rafting experience. I was a little worried with having so many different ages (8-43) that we wouldn't all enjoy it. Boy was I wrong! We did the all day trip which included a stop half way that included a wonderful steak lunch. While the kids cooled off the Guides made us steak, salad, and... More

We went rafting on the full-day Numbers trip on 7/27/12 and were very disappointed with our experience. The water levels were very low, causing the raft to constantly scrape bottom and get stuck on rocks. It was not much of a rafting experience or much fun. Furthermore the trip ended after we ate lunch because the water levels were so... More
