    Despite ending up with a rainy trip, we had a fantastic time! The guides were knowledgeable and entertaining. We never felt unsafe and enjoyed the scenery and wildlife.

  • 5Such a fun experience with beautiful scenery throughout the trip.

    We had a blast! Keen and Carol were our guides on our two rafts and they were both amazing. We will definitely do this again!! The river was pretty low when we went, so we all want to go back when it's higher. Super calm, chill experience for us, with a few fun rapids and a rock jump along the way. Beautiful scenery the entire way. We hope to do the full day next time. This is a must do!! Thanks so much for a fun day!

  • 5Perfect for families with young children!

    Our family of four (we have two boys ages 7 and 9) booked the half day tour in August. It was pretty perfect for our boys! Just enough rapids to keep them entertained, but calm enough that they didn't feel out of control or anything. Our tour guide Margot is AMAZING! She's fun, funny, patient (that's important with kids), knowledgeable, and I felt that we were in good hands. I meant to thank her personally at the end of the tour but I blame the kids for distracting me from doing so so THANK YOU, MARGOT!! Just book it. It's a time!

About Buena Vista

Buena Vista is a small Rocky Mountain town in Colorado's Arkansas Valley, beneath the Collegiate Peaks, known for rafting, hot springs and high summits.

Buena Vista sits at about 2,400 metres in the Arkansas Valley of central Colorado, a small town of brick storefronts and a main street that still looks as it did in the mining and railroad era. The Collegiate Peaks, a line of mountains named for American universities and including Mount Princeton, Yale, Harvard and Columbia, rise just to the west, each of them more than 4,200 metres high.
