Buena Vista—or BV, as the locals say—sits right in the Collegiate Peaks, Colorado’s highest concentration of 14ers. The Arkansas River flows through it all, and on this tour, you’ll get to take in the views from the water, no experience required. Let your guide paddle your raft over bouncy wave trains and calmer sections of this wild river as you and your crew float through the beauty of central Colorado.
- Float down the fast-moving water in the Lower Browns Canyon
- Choose to paddle or sit back and let your guide take over
- Fun for the whole family, including kids age 4 and up
- With a maximum of 10 travelers, you’ll get more personalized time on the water
What To Expect
Arkansas River
A favorite for families with young children or more mature adult groups looking to get on the river without the stress of intense whitewater. After arriving at our office, getting checked in, changing into your river clothes and listening to a safety orientation, you will be driven to the put-in, located approximately 20 minutes from our office.
Once there, you will get on the river and enjoy the ride. Most groups chose to not paddle along, enabling you to enjoy the picturesque views, bouncy rapids and quality time with family and friends while the guide maneuvers the boat. After the trip, we will drive you back to our office where you can view the professional photos taken of your trip. We look forward to getting on the river with you!
