Unbelievable experience. Skully & Ben were the best guides on any trip I've been on in my life, hands down. The crew worked extremely hard day in and day out, setting up everything, taking everything... See more

We have used WAR for several years for our annual family full day raft trip on virtually every section of the Arkansas river. Their guides are well trained and fun, and their equipment is top notch.... See more

I feel that the videos over sell the actual river action. Out raft guide was not very skilled at reading the river and we found ourselves caught on rocks on a slow flowing river. Additionally I feel that the rafts that carry people should not have to also carry the supplies for the lunch stop. This equipment makes it hard to move from one side to the other on the raft when you are having to change the weight balance on the raft to get free from rocks the raft was stuck on.

Reply from Wilderness Aware Rafting

Larry,

The videos you saw were filmed at normal water flows. This year was the 3rd driest year on record, so more rocks were showing and the waves were smaller. Getting stuck on rocks more often is a result. We do our best to explain conditions ahead of time when this happens.

Had a wonderful time on the LBC float trip - guides were friendly and skilled. Would do again in a heartbeat and recommend to others who'd like a relaxing afternoon, taking in the beautiful countryside on gently rolling waters.

The rafting guide makes all the difference

Recently went on two separate sections of the Arkansas River with Wilderness Aware Rafting. We did Browns Canyon full day, which I had done a few years before, then the second day we did The Numbers full day. The guide makes all the difference in your experience. The Numbers was AWESOME!!!

Great experience rafting with Wilderness Aware. The staff was very helpful and professional. Oliver, our guide, did a great job. He was very friendly, always told us what to expect up the river, and did a great job keeping us safe. He made the trip very enjoyable! We had a great time!

My experience was outstanding

My experience was outstanding. Our guide Jack was very experienced and I felt safe under his guidance. He was also very good and interactive with my young son Alex. Jacks's patience never grew short even with all the questions he asked. i would definitely choose this company again and recommend it to others.

Fun in the sun!

We had an amazing guide, Jack. He was full of knowledge and was a lot of fun. My family had not been white water rafting, but we picked it up quickly with Jacks instruction. Overall, the experience was amazing. We will be back👍
