Amazing time highly recommended - We had the good fortune to have Grace as our guide for an outing for our family of 4. We are somewhat experienced and have been on several other trips and can say this was one of the best.
What made the experience better other than Grace and her winning personality and expertise with the river was the lack of herd mentality.
We saw several other outfitters with multiple boat trips on going all struggling to stay together and keep in line. It was refreshing to be able to raft the river without worrying about staying together.
The 3/4 day trip was just about perfect in terms of time on the river. We will definitely look to book with them next time we are in the area.

Browns Canyon 1/2 Day - I’m a Colorado native and had never been rafting so my first experience was going to be memorable. Dvorak Jack as we named our guide was great and funny. He made us feel safe and was cool and calm when my teenage grandson was tossed from the raft, quickly pulling him back in. He helped make our first rafting experience a blast!

Excellent - We had a great experience with Dvorak they were friendly and fun and a smaller environment. Our family had our own guide as it’s a smaller outfitter and felt very safe and secure and not a cattle call.

Half day guided rafting trip! - My grandparents took myself and my teenage sister on a guided raft trip. Nicole greeted us upon arrival and even offered lunch suggestions until our check in time. She was also waiting at the front office after we got out of the river to show us pictures, she was very kind and friendly! Jason, Johnathan, and April were the guides for the day and they were all very kind and knowledgeable. Our guide Jason was excellent! DVK seems to be a smaller operation in comparison to others however, it allowed us a personal experience with lots of attention on the river! DVK also provided us with gear and was very accommodating! We loved our experience!
