I did a rafting trip with my 2 children ages 15 and 12 down Browns Canyon. It was incredible!! Our guide was John - he was very knowledgeable, calm, friendly and helpful. It was beautiful and a lot of fun. We all felt very safe including my son who had previously had a bad experience. The Adventure Co is the... More

We traveled today with the Adventure Company and were highly impressed with the professionalism of the company from reservations, check-in, equipment, safety instructions, experienced and personable guides who gave 110% toward making your rafting experience memorable in every way. Loren was outstanding as our guide... But I saw nothing but professionalism in all the guides...John, Kara, and Nate. We loved... More

We had a terrific day on the Numbers full day trip. Jere was our guide and was fantastic. First class outfitters. We have rafting Pigeon twice and New once. This outfitter has far superior equipment. If you decide to go, be sure and rent the wetsuits. We went in August on a warm day and the water is still very... More

We took a full moon whitewater raft trip thru Brown's Canyon with TAC...AWESOME!!! A once in a lifetime experience as all of the conditions have to be right between the full moon, the weather and the height of the river. If the stars align, take this trip! The TAC guides were safe and wonderful, the river was fast and the... More

I went rafting with The Adventure Company a few weeks ago with my family and another family. Our rafting instructor was Joe and everyone on our raft had a great time. We definitely had to pull our weight and work hard, but it was rewarding and still a ton of fun! The instructors are all very experienced and knowledgable about... More

Our Rafting experience was great! We can't wait to book next year's trip. Our guide kept us safe by making sure we understood our roles, plus he had amazing knowledge of the surrounding area! He kept the conversation going and what was cool was that he was sincerely interested in getting to know the folks in his raft! I would... More

My name is Dora, and I live in the Dallas/Fort Worth area, and I'm in my early 70's. White Water Rafting was something I've always wanted to do, and we did it! My cousin and I went to Breckinridge, Colorado for a week in late August, 2011. The rafting trip was going to be the highlight of our trip. The... More

This was AWSOME!! The guides were professional, oozed confidence, and fun! I am over 60, never a daredevil & had a ball! Cannot wait till I can do it again. Your group of people were so nice from checking in to checking out. Really a great bunch of friendly people. Everyone in our raft just raved about it all week.... More
