Family for 4 (kids aged 11, 12- waterproof was low, but we had fun - Split was the BEST!!!!! The water was low, but split made it fun by teaching us to spin our rack through the rapids. I can't imagine a better raft guide or trip in colorado, especially for locals.

Great thing to do on a warm summer day! - Great experience on the river with our awesome guide Megan! The perfect amount of time was spent on the river enjoying the views and no problems navigating the rapids as long as we followed Megan’s instructions. We had a nice picnic lunch included along the river and were offered time to swim or jump off a rock into a designated area if we wanted to. Would definitely book a trip with River Runners in the future!

Lifetime experience - A fantastic time had by myself and 2 buddies from high school (class of 1978). Ben was a great guide and a lot of fun. We all got dumped in the river in what's known as the toilet bowl. This was my 2nd trip with River Runners and I'll be back again for sure. Very experienced and knowledgeable team. Worth every penny they charge

Fun family memories floating Browns Canyon, CO - Our family had a wonderful time floating Brown’s Canyon with River Runners Outfitters. The reservation and check in process was very informative and professional. Our guide, Carson, was very knowledgeable of the river and the rapids. He kept us all safely in the boat. We stopped for cliff jumping and lunch which was provided for the full day trip. We highly recommend using River Runners and definitely will book with them again.

Great full day rafting tour - Fantastic full day tour with lots of fun rapids. Ted was an excellent guide and the lunch was really good - meat &veggie pitas with chips and guacamole. The photo package was worth the purchase. Highly recommend the splash jackets but we didn’t wear the wetsuits. Water was very cold but felt good on a sunny day. Great tour overall!

Excellent Way To Spend a Day - First time whitewater rafting and it didn't disappoint. Our guide, Dan K, was in fine form and was great company for the day. Loved the conversation, the rafting, the fun, and the lunch. We would do it again for sure. My daugher, cousin, and I had a blast!
