Our Guides
Our river guides are trained professionals, FUN, friendly, knowledgeable and entertaining characters. There are storytellers, birders, amateur geologists, comics, and history buffs…Each one of our guides exemplifies knowledge, safety and friendship. If you have a great time on the river, remember your guide’s name and request your new amigo the next time you go paddling with Arkansas Valley Adventures. Our guides make your experience memorable and our reputation what it is.
— Mark ConleyJust wanted to drop a line and say how great our two day rafting trip was. We had John and Jed, they both did a great job. John happened to be our favorite. He was so friendly and made the trip more fun. He has a great personality and kept the trip full of energy. Will get back with you again for next summer!!!
