Awesome - Cooper was a good guide, Dvorak is great company. Entire experience was well worth the money. My family and I would raft with them again.

Free but not quite easy - Terrific adventure, even for a first-timer. During the first part of the trip our guide, Free, trained us up on paddling technique, and then adeptly took us through the often busy series of rapids, applying the occasional correction when we didn't quite execute. Shooting the rapids was a blast, of course, and the quieter periods between rapids gave time to enjoy the views around Browns Canyon.

Dvorak Expeditions is the Best. - Dvorak Expeditions is the first licensed outfitter in the State of Colorado and it shows in the quality of its operations. it you don't want to be one of a hundred other participants with some of the larger whitewater rafting companies, I highly recommend the personal attention that Dvorak Expeditions offers. The Dvorak guides are very experienced and highly trained. You will not find a better rafting company than Dvorak Expeditions.

Great Experience - Excellent experience. Smaller rafting company/guide service that went above and beyond to make sure we were well informed and had a great time. Andres was an excellent guide!

Exhilarating - This was our first rafting experience. We felt exhilarated and safe with Grace. We started in the sun, experienced pelting rain, and finished with smiles on our faces. We enjoyed Brown Canyon National Monument.

Tremendous Experience with a Great Outfitter - We had an incredible time on our Half-Day trip through Browns Canyon. When we got to the put-in location, we saw that other rafting companies were putting in as many as 8 rafts at a same time. Folks that were with other outfitters were basically stuck in traffic and moving down the Arkansas River surrounded by a bunch of other boats all day. We waited a little while to put in and basically had the river all to ourselves. Our guide, Grace, did an expert job handling the raft and was a delight to talk to during the calmer parts of the journey downriver. Highly recommend booking with Dvorak.
