Best time ever! A big shot out to the most experienced and enthusiastic zip line guides! Thank you Kyle, Shawn, James and Alejandro !!!! 😃
We really loved our guide and raft trip with AVA Rafting & Zipline! We will definitely go again when we return to Colorado!
Love new adventures, then make sure to put Via Ferrata on your list while visiting Breckenridge. The team at AVA has an amazing course located in beautiful Idaho Springs off I-70. It is a nice getaway to experience both WhiteWater Rafting in the morning and Via Ferrata in the afternoon. The best part of the trip was the incredible views from the side of the mountain. A great activity for a family or group. Our guides Bailey and Emily were top-notch. Both safe, yet their experience made the trip exceptional. They had fun facts about the surrounding area.
It was a great experience!!! It was so much fun!! Our guide was Kyle and he was awesome! Loved it ❤️ Definitely recommend!! 😁😁😁 100/10
My family and I took the half day Upper Colorado River float trip from Kremmling (about an hour trip from Breckenridge, easy to navigate and scenic). Thrill level was perfect for us — 6 beginners ranging from age 6 to 40, none of whom would place rafting anywhere near our comfort zones. Most of the trip was a scenic float; a couple miles’ worth were what they called class 2 to 3 rapids. The guides were great, really knowledgeable and friendly, allaying our fears almost immediately. The only regret we had was not booking the full day.
LOVED our trip for our young family! Dave was the best boat guide, and Ken, Katie, Evie, and Carrie were such a fun team to be with too! We’ll definitely be back again and again! Also, do yourself a favor and go eat at The Dean West when you’re done!
John our guide knew how to make the trip memorable. We did the 1/3 day raft and we enjoyed it so much! He gave the right balance of instruction and cow jokes, and made some of the first-timers in our group feel very comfortable. This was my second time doing Kremmling with AVA and I know it won’t be our last!!!
Cameron took time to teach me some things about fly fishing. It was my first time and will definitely be back. Thanks Cameron. Maybe next time I can “answer the phone”?
Awesome day on the water! My wife and I did the full day in duckies (kayaks) and the guides, Devo and Christian, were awesome and very helpful. They had a great lunch ready for us halfway thru the trip. Guys definitely know what they’re doing and have a blast doing it!
Jamie was an awesome rafting guide! Book with her!
Mark was so patient with me kayaking. It was the best experience I’ve had yet.
The staff was amazing by the start! The lady on the phone was sooo helpful & kind to my Dad & his girlfriend. When we arrived at Ava, everyone was super friendly & made us sure that we would be safe and told us clearly what safety procedures to follow. The guides were super chill & funny. What an amazing, exciting, fun & relaxing experience! We will be back!
Had a really fun time this weekend on the via ferrata. If they ever expand this route, we would totally come back and do it again. We had gorgeous weather and our guides, Emily and Sunshine were awesome! Thanks again.
Loved it!
Went zip lining with Matt & Shaun and had an awesome time, they were fun, informative and great tour guides for the trip. Would definitely book a trip with AVA again.
Andy was very helpful and professional. He helped my husband and I plan a wonderful trip along the Colorado River!!
Did the zip line & rafting combo years back & never wrote a review, but it was a great day. The zip line views were amazing and guides were funny & calming. Felt safe the whole time. Even lunch was good. Would definitely do again if I go back to CO.
I was down there for vacation in Colorado with my sister and friend. We got a package deal through the AVA rafting and horseback. The watering rafting was our first time doing it. They are professional, nice. The guide Grayson was amazing, fun, and knew what he was doing. I had so much fun with horseback and rafting.And definitely going to be doing it again when I go back to Colorado.
Our group of 4 had a great time doing the float with our guides Alex and Christian. It was really beautiful. They told us fun information about the area (Sir Al Gore?? Haha). We all felt very safe and it was the highlight of our trip. I will 100% use AVA again.
We went ziplining at AVA in late September and had an amazing experience! A few of us in the group were ziplining for the first time. Our guides, Mickey and Dagnar, were the best. They made us feel safe and comfortable from the get go. Throughout the course, they gave us detailed instructions while still keeping it fun. We’ll definitely be back!
the two guides max and saddie made our time the best! they were very nice and fun.
I’ve been counting the days until AVA Granite opens back up! This company & location astounded me last summer and I’m so excited to have found it! Almost rafting season!
This was our 1st zip line tour, and it was awesome. Our guides were fun & entertaining, and we could tell they throughly enjoy their job.
We were looking for something fun to do while on vacation in Breckenridge during the off season and came across Ava R&Z. They had an opening for a twilight Zipline tour and we booked it. We had 2 amazing guide’s Mikey and Kate and had allot of fun Zip lining into the dark. Beautiful canyon views and weather we couldn’t ask for anything more.
This place know rafting. What a great experience. I did a half day tour which took about 4 hours. This river adventure was heading down class 3 & class 4 rapids. A meal was prepared by the guides as well. This was so much fun that I will do a all day trip next time and maybe even an overnight trip as well in the future.
End of April, My friend and I had a girls weekend for her 40th Birthday! We went rafting and zipline, IT WAS AWESOME! AVA Staff were pleasant, knowledgeable and made us feel safe while having fun! We spend the whole day with the staff, ate a hot lunch. “Sprinkles” & “Shunk” taught us a lot about rafting and about Brown Bear Canyon. Very knowledgeable about the area and history. I can’t wait to take my family once our youngest is old enough! Thanks for a fun trip! –Amy from Nebraska
Website full of helpful info. Nice range of adventures. We rappelled down to the Arkansas River & ran the Gauntlet: Pine Creek & The Numbers. Fish, our knowledgeable & fun guide, made sure we were prepared to take on the rowdy rapids before & during the run. Awesome thrills, serene moments, and delish fajita lunch & cold Coors to wrap our day. Wear a swimsuit, synthetic (workout) tank/T-shirt, and lightweight running shorts so you dry quickly after peeling off your wetsuit. Bring your GoPro & strap it into your helmet – you will want the footage!
My wife and I signed up for the Browns Canyon Rafting and Zip-Line package. Our rafting guide (Matt) was very knowledgeable and professional, it was all around a great experience and his quick witted humor also added to the fun. During the Zip-Line portion our instructors (Sam & Ericka) were also very knowledgeable and professional, their outgoing personalities and quick wit also made the experience very enjoyable. We highly recommend AVA and will definitely book with them again when we return to visit the BV area. Thanks for a great time!
Got a WWR & Zipline with camping package. Got there to check in for the rafting in the AM. Fed us fresh food on the river, guide Josie was awesome & relaxed with the beginners. Fed us the best steak dinner (included) when we got back to camp, next AM when ziplining. Great hideout. Love the valley. Definitely doing level 5 waters next!
This place is AMAZING!!!! When you visit AVA Rafting & Zipline, you’d be hard pressed to find a better time! They have ziplines, Via Ferrata, and Whitewater Rafting, and you just can’t find a better time! Don’t miss out!!!!!!
Loved this experience, highly recommend & excellent guides
SO AWESOME!! Adrian and Cam are some the best guides this side of the Pecos! Incredibly professional, fun, and funny. They put the zip in lining!! I’m so asking for them again when I come back!
Can’t wait for the rafting trip tomorrow.
OK. Alex G. our river guide showed us quite a time! She is totally awesome just like Can & Adrian. I mean the guys set the bar high, and “G” sailed right over it with wit, comedy, and coolness. I recommend you request these guides and tip them well when you do. They are great guides, but even better people.
Enjoy your adventure with AVA!
Great Experience. My family did the whole day raft through the canyon. The guide Hank and guide in training Tyler were great. The lunch was good as well.
We went on a rafting trip down the Arkansas river yesterday with AVA rafting company. Shawn Daws was our guide for the day. We have been on other white water trips and I must say that we had the best time!! Shawn was a delight. Very knowledgeable. He made sure everyone on the raft had a great time! So glad we got him as our guide! Thank you for a memorable trip. 🙂
Larry Laux & Richard Wenske
Went on the numbers & narrows white water rafting trip. Crook was our guide and it was a great time.
I went for an unwanted swim in the Arkansas but ultimately that just added to the experience.
They provide food at the end of the trip. Definitely recommend AVA!
AVA IS BAE I CAN’T WAIT FOR NEXT YEAR
Great rafting trip. Matt was our guide and a very good job. This was our second trip with them and I would certainly recommend them. Staff is experienced and very relaxed. Take the 3/4 day trip if you have the time. You’ll be hard pressed to find better scenery.
Took a raft trip down Browns Canyon on 7/14/2020. Alex Staal was our guide. What an awesome guide! He was very knowledgeable and informative. The trip was fun and beautiful! Great job, Alex and AVA Rafting!
Great guided tour! Can’t wait to hang out with them again!
We did the overnight raft trip and we loved it! The river was running at a perfect flow. Our guide, Lily was very friendly and took the time to educate us on safety and how to work together on the raft. We camped at a nice spot on the riverbank. The other guides all worked together to prepare dinner which was steak and potatoes with veggies. We pitched tents and hung out with the others on the trip till time to sleep. Morning was eggs and bacon with coffee. They did all the work loading the rafts. You’re only responsible for setting up your tent. Over all it was a lot of fun!
Everyone was very nice and helpful. The tour was awesome our guide Alex made the whole thing thank you so much and we will be back.
Best place to go Rafting in Colorado, bar none.
We had a great time! We did the water rafting and Shaun was awesome!!! I would definitely comeback.
Absolutely amazing staff. I had such a great time. They are so nice, and funny, and engaging. They have really good pricing. They provided lunch, as well as all the equipment needed. I participated in the rafting. They did a very good job giving a tutorial on how to row and be safe. Our guide, joey, was an absolute joy to have. He even provided us with some sunscreen when we realized we didnt bring any. Got to see many beautiful sights along the river and i had a great time. All of the clothes in their gift shop were very high quality and are extremely comfortable. I cant reccomend them enough. Do yourself a favor and go check them out.
First time rafting and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide or trip! Definitely looking forward to going again!
My friends and I did the rafting & zip-lining combo. Our guides Sean, Hannah, & Corbin were fantastic. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Highly recommended.
What a great experience! Joining AVA Rafting was pleasant from the beginning. Easy reservation process, clear communication and instructions. Our guide, Fish, was very knowledgeable and personable. My family and I felt safe and had lots of fun! We recommend AVA Rafting & Zipline to all!
AVA hosted our corporate event with 3/4 day rafting & lunch for 30 people. Great reservation staff that was very helpful for us as this was our first time, amazing experienced rafting guides who were a lot of fun and knowledgeable, and a delicious catered BBQ lunch! Clear Creek is a prime river for rafting for all skills. Our entire group had so much fun and at a reasonable cost!
I hope to have to opportunity to go back and take the family!
Best time ever! Our river guide Parker was amazing😃 Thank you!!!
I had such an amazing time on AVA’s New Via Ferrata! I did not really know what to expect because I have never been on a Via Ferrata Tour before but I absolutely loved it!! If you are looking for a fun and adventurous activity that is physically and mentally challenging, then I highly suggest exploring this new Via Ferrata Tour with AVA Rafting & Zip Line! You will have so much fun!
My son, Mitch and I were in good hands on the zipline with Megan & Luke. They explained each line understandably, moved the group along and were entertaining in the process. The check-in crew was very informative and helpful as well. Overall, a great experience!
The via ferrata was a lot of fun. Group size was small. Tour guides Emily and Sunshine were great. Would do it again, definitely if they expand the via ferrata parts.
If you are looking for a fun and unique experience for a group or family, then the Via Ferrata is a ton of fun. Not only do you get a little of everything, zip lining, repelling, and suspended log runs, you also are amazed by the incredible views of the surrounding mountains. A perfect activity for those that want a challenge in a fun safe environment. Via Ferrata started in the Italian Alps and perfect for those that want a fun adventure in a secure environment limited any fall. The experience is breathtaking and a must do on your Colorado Adventure list. Our guides Emily and Bailey were amazing making the trip a real wild adventure.
Our family (traveled with teens) thoroughly enjoyed our Upper Clear Creek adventure in Idaho Springs!! The rafting and ziplining were awesome and our guides were fabulous!!! Liam was our rafting guide and Lizzie & Juju were the ziplining guides…they were great!!!
The customer service from start to finish was fantastic. Everyone if friendly & accomidating.
Our rafting guide Wasp was great. He worked really hard & kept us all in the boat. The water was a little more shallow than desired & required a lot of work on his part. Thanks Wasp! You were awesome!
Our zipline guides were Erica & Sam. They were funny, knowledgeable & pure awesomeness! Thanks for an awesome adventure!
Btw potential customers, Don’t forget to tip your guide!!
Ava Rafting & Zipline in Idaho Springs, Co is one of the best experiences ever. I’ve Ziplined before in South Korea and in Dominican Republic but neither compares to the experience with Spencer & Emily. There are surprise optional courses you can take and it’s adventurous, daring and everything in between. Spencer and Emily are all vibes: positive, encouraging and kind! Special thanks to Spencer!! Thank you for walking the ropes with me! If you find yourself in Colorado, this adventure is so worth it! 🙌
Great experience. Our river guide Will was great. Our zipline guides MJ and Jacob were great.
Our guides EmJ & Alec we’re awesome! They were fun, entertaining and kept us safe! Great fun because if our guides!!
SWARMI & MARY ARE THE BEST
Rafting was great. The water was very high, and everybody had a blast.
We had a large group (18 people), and they had no trouble accommodating us. One of our party was recovering from a broken ankle (wearing a brace, not a cast), and they were very accommodating. Our guides went out of their way to make sure the injured person was safe and having fun.
My 90 year old Aunt Doris & I drove from Tulsa Oklahoma to zip line with Ava, had a marvelous time, they took very good care of us, would definitely go back.
We did the upper creek intermediate half day trip and our guide was AMAZING! He made the trip so worth it, I wish I had grabbed his name all I know is he commutes from Morrison 😂😂 if you go on this trip try and find out his name, you won’t regret it!!
Great experience overall! 10/10. Went Rafting today for the 1st time ever & had soo much fun! One of the guides Seth gave us a great run down of how things would go once the group gathered, super organized & QUICK! Everyone was anxious to get out there. Our guide was “TALL ERIC” & he made the experience that much better. Super down to earth, gave great instruction & made us all feel comfortable being we were 1st timers EVER on a Level 4 course. I will definitely be back to this place to try the next level & some other activities as well. They even give you a coupon for a free drink & TommyKnockers & that place was great too haha.
We had a fantastic time with Shelby & Alex. They were great river guides. They kept us safe while having a ton of fun. I highly recommend them both!
We did the 1/3 day rafting trip out of Idaho Springs. It was my daughter’s 1st time rafting and she didn’t want anything too scary. It was the perfect amount of time on the water with a little bit of thrills.
Went zip lining and it was a blast. Being scared of heights they really helped me feel confident and safe!
Dan was awesome!
I had an AWESOME time on my first rafting trip with our guide Dan! He was super knowledgeable and friendly, and he kept us on course throughout the many rapids that we hit on the lower Clear Creek run. I learned a lot and had a ton of fun. I cannot wait to come back ☺️
Just rafted the Lower Clear Creek and had a blast! Our guide Dan was great! Most of our group had never rafted before, but it wasn’t a problem with his guidance. He made it a ton of fun. I can’t recommend AVA Rafting and Dan enough. Thanks Dan!
Great place. Great guides, great time!!
Wonderful experience from start to finish! Our guide was amazing. The pics they took during our whitewater rafting trip were awesome! The food at the end of the trip was really good! 5 stars all the way.. Cant wait to go back!
We went rafting today with AVA and had an experience that would make John Wesley Powell jealouuuus (mostly because none of our crew members went missing). Our rafting guide was Eric and he was top notch. He made sure we had practiced all our strokes and felt like a team before we set off, and got us through some tough spots on the river with the two Ls – leadership and laughs. Would highly recommend, and looking forward to coming back here next June when the water is a bit faster.
Our family had the best time on this Zip-line course, this is NOT the course you see off the highway it’s up the cliffside.
Our guides Tessa & Mickey were absolutely amazing. They were professional, friendly, funny & made zip lining look effortless & graceful.
The first zipline “jump” was a bit frightful straight off a cliff. The boys fearless, were quick to leap first & left me to figure it out. And with my fear of heights & also not the most adventurous nor athletic person, we were off!! Mickey & Tessa were so patient & understanding with me on the course & allowed me to move at my own pace. Without your help, guidance & patience I probably wouldn’t haven’t finished the entire course. Beyond grateful for the both of you today!! Thank you again 😉
We had the most amazing time definitely will be back to try their Rafting experience!!
Our group of 7 went to AVA Rafting & Ziplining for a fun day of adventure while vacationing in Colorado. We were excited for the thrill of ziplining above the picturesque views of Idaho Springs. The Via Ferrata is a challenging course where you are walking around the cliffs on iron bars all while harnessed in and attached to cables. We jumped off a bridge, rappelled down a cliff, and ziplined down two sections to get to the bottom of the entire course. It was 3 hours of thrilling adventure all the while being entertained by our guides. Chris “Pye” and Travis – AKA “Riggs”. They were both very experienced guides. They were informative on how to use our equipment, how to properly position oursleves for repelling, instructed us to keep us safe, and also kept us laughing. I highly recommend you visit AVA and ask for them to guide your group. We will come back to Colorado to do more adventures with AVA like the river rafting.
I hade an awesome time by via ferrata and Simon even took photos for us and said that he’ll sent them to me by that night.😄
Simon and Dagnar did an amazing job at the zipline tour and had a great dynamic of having fun and safe at the same time! Great views and great people to talk to! This place definitely has some unique zip lines that I have never seen before.
AVA Rafting & Zipline is AWESOME!! Definitely check this place out. We did the ziplining trip in Idaho Springs, CO. Our guides, Dagnar and Gooze were AMAZING! They were funny and provided us with a safe, fun, beautiful experience for our whole family. Gooze was especially awesome in helping our youngest son zipline and have a great time! Dangar also provided us with some history of the area prior to the trip which was great and interesting! Also, they provided local hiking spots in which we took one post zip line and it was so beautiful. This is your place for a fun, Colorado adventure! Highly recommend.
Had a fantastic time in Colorado. AVA Rafting & Zipline was a great and fun experience. Our guide for whitewater rafting was so informative and offered local animal information/habitat and mining history…fascinating!
After not seeing each other for over 7 months due to Covid-19, my family met in Breckinridge for a family vacation. We booked two AVA excursions – White water rafting at Buena Vista and zip lining at Idaho Springs. I do not typically write reviews, but I had to share our experience.
Chad, our rafting guide, was great! He expertly guided us down the river while giving us Colorado history and cracking jokes. We had the best day and will book a full day on the river next year.
We felt blessed to be paired with Randy and Ann for zip lining. They were so thorough, knowledgeable, very patient. Our safety was their top priority and everyone in our group appreciated the pep talk and best strategy tips at each platform. Ann really saved the day when she noticed I was terrified to walk across the suspension bridge. She offered to walk in front of me and cheered me on the entire way. I would not have been able to do it without her. ♥️
I HIGHLY RECOMMEND AVA TOURS! From what I have seen, the AVA employees love their jobs and it is evident in their customer service. Thank you for making our first vacation together as a family a fun and memorable one.
We did the Idaho Springs Cliffside Ziplining on 8/23/2020. Our guides Tim & Brian were fantastic! They made our trip fun and exciting while also calming my fear of heights. The course along the cliffside was such a neat way to add some excitement to the lines. If you sign up for this trip you have to do the free fall jump! It was so much fun 🙂 We would definitely book another trip when we make our way back to Colorado.
We experienced the Via Farrata route with Max and Tessa & had a great experience. Our guides were friendly, professional, and effective. I always felt safe and we were pleasantly surprised by getting to do some zip lining and ropes course-style stuff along the way. This was our first time on the via and it was pretty cool. We had expected it to be more like rock climbing, but it was slightly different. Along the route there are rebar posts that you hang on to as you move along. Not a bag thing just a very different experience from rock climbing and having to pick your route. Overall this was a great way to spend the afternoon. Highly recommended.
Brina & Rose were excellent guides and we had a blast together. Thank you for helping to create a lifelong experience for our family! We look forward to zip lining with AVA again for sure.
We had two fantastic guides for our Via Ferrata at Idaho Springs. They made it so fun and were very friendly and knowledgeable. The entire adventure only took about 2.5 hours since there were only 4 people in our group so it was just like 6 friends having a great time. A couple of us had rappelled before but everything else was new to all of us.
We will definitely book with AVA again.
What an experience will never forget this trip down to Colorado a day full of kayaking in the Colorado River followed by ziplines in Idaho Springs. Rafting/Kayaking (kremmling) instructors Jon&Mark where very helpful also had some great jokes along the bus ride.(Idaho Springs) Zipline instructors Randy& Max were also very friendly and did great in their demonstration will definitely be returning on my next trip to Colorado!
Wonderful experience. The three of us has a much better time than we expected. Very professional and kind guides, Max and Tyler were fantastic. It was my first time doing a Via Ferrata, and I’m not a climber, but felt confident. Thank you both!
Rose & Randi were the best…this was my first trip & I felt completely safe with their instruction!! I will definitely come back & recommend family & friends! Thank you R & R for a great time & for making me feel normal for screaming the whole time 😄
One of the best places to go! Crew is amazing and very nice price
Great time! Mickey and Dagmar were great guides and trust me I made them work for it! I am 5ft tall with the armspan of a T-Rex and could not reach the wires. They had me tandem and still worked hard so I could have a good time! Great view. A few obstacles . A lot of fun!
The staff was VERY friendly and they were all about the zipliners being safe. We came all the way from Texas just to zipline there. Martini and Goose are the best!
Spencer and Max were so awesome today during my first Via Ferrata. They were very patient, encouraging, supportive and they made it fun! Thank you both for such an awesome experience! Highly recommend.
Went zip lining with my family today had great fun. My 10 year old was very nervous but quickly lost all that fear. MJ and Siggy? And hunter were great guides and had lots of fun!! Loved how the lines were build into the terrain and not just towers you climbed up!!
We visited the Idaho Springs location and did zip lining. It was myself and three teenagers. We had an incredible time. MJ and Martina were our guides and they were exceptional. They were fun and helpful. They gave excellent instructions and made us feel very safe! There were 6 lines, all a little different. I think we definitely got our money’s worth! I highly recommend adding this adventure to your trip planning!
We had an amazing time! Spencer and Gooze were extremely friendly, funny, and patient. They made the experience so much more fun! The views were awesome and…
This tour had some amazing spots picked out for a half day tour outside Denver. Our guide Jed made the drive in to a fun local history lesson which made the drives seem like we just went down the road. He kept us entertained and had great recommendations along the way.
Best time ever! A big shot out to the most experienced and enthusiastic zip line guides! Thank you Kyle, Shawn, James and Alejandro !!!! 😃
We really loved our guide and raft trip with AVA Rafting & Zipline! We will definitely go again when we return to Colorado!

We did the rafting and have 4 words: Super fun! Do it!
Highly recommend going if you’re in the area. Our family of 6 had so much fun. Even my almost 71 year old mother was able to join us, and had a blast! (She didn’t paddle)
Grayson and Lane were great, and made it so fun. Don’t forget to tip your guides!
My family and I just finished our Full Day Scenic Rafting trip with AVA and i must say it was an excellent experience. Our trip leader Brian and the other guide (I am sorry i cant remember his name as he was in the other raft) we both very professional, helpful and friendly. It was an amazing experience and even my mother who was extremely apprehensive about whitewater rafting thoroughly enjoyed herself. I would highly recommend AVA Rafting and Zipline to anyone wanting to try rafting.
We had a great time rafting down a stretch of the Colorado river. Our guide Ken was great and friendly. Knew a lot about the river too. Everything went smooth from our arrival, to the raft experience o n the river, and finally the bus ride back to the start. We will definitely raft again with them. May be a higher category rapids next time. Everything felt safe in relation to the covid epidemic, mask required everywhere but on your raft, all the equipment we used was clean.
We did the kayaking trip with Lee and had a great time! We love all of the guided tours we have done with AVA. They hire great people and they are super professional. I always feel safe and my business is appreciated! Can’t wait to hang out with the AVA folks again!
The staff was amazing by the start! The lady on the phone was sooo helpful & kind to my Dad & his girlfriend. When we arrived at Ava, everyone was super friendly & made us sure that we would be safe and told us clearly what safety procedures to follow. The guides were super chill & funny. What an amazing, exciting, fun & relaxing experience! We will be back!
Had a really fun time this weekend on the via ferrata. If they ever expand this route, we would totally come back and do it again. We had gorgeous weather and our guides, Emily and Sunshine were awesome! Thanks again.
Went zip lining with Matt & Shaun and had an awesome time, they were fun, informative and great tour guides for the trip. Would definitely book a trip with AVA again.
Did the zip line & rafting combo years back & never wrote a review, but it was a great day. The zip line views were amazing and guides were funny & calming. Felt safe the whole time. Even lunch was good. Would definitely do again if I go back to CO.
I did the zip lining course and was led by Tyler and Randy. They were really amazing in calming nerves and super understanding. They thoroughly instruct you before each line and make sure you’re safe. Great experience and my and my family LOVED it! So fun and the scenery is gorgeous.
Voted as the Best Rafting in Idaho Springs for 2019 and 2020, you’ve got to come to AVA to get your adrenaline rushing! Rafting down Clear Creek is the most fun and exciting way to take in the nature and beauty of Idaho Springs. If rafting isn’t your thing, they also have zip-lining and via ferrata, which we also highly recommend! Check them out today!
the two guides max and saddie made our time the best! they were very nice and fun.
I’ve been counting the days until AVA Granite opens back up! This company & location astounded me last summer and I’m so excited to have found it! Almost rafting season!

Loved this experience, highly recommend & excellent guides
SO AWESOME!! Adrian and Cam are some the best guides this side of the Pecos! Incredibly professional, fun, and funny. They put the zip in lining!! I’m so asking for them again when I come back!
Can’t wait for the rafting trip tomorrow.
OK. Alex G. our river guide showed us quite a time! She is totally awesome just like Can & Adrian. I mean the guys set the bar high, and “G” sailed right over it with wit, comedy, and coolness. I recommend you request these guides and tip them well when you do. They are great guides, but even better people.
Enjoy your adventure with AVA!
Great Experience. My family did the whole day raft through the canyon. The guide Hank and guide in training Tyler were great. The lunch was good as well.
We went on a rafting trip down the Arkansas river yesterday with AVA rafting company. Shawn Daws was our guide for the day. We have been on other white water trips and I must say that we had the best time!! Shawn was a delight. Very knowledgeable. He made sure everyone on the raft had a great time! So glad we got him as our guide! Thank you for a memorable trip. 🙂
Larry Laux & Richard Wenske
Went on the numbers & narrows white water rafting trip. Crook was our guide and it was a great time.
I went for an unwanted swim in the Arkansas but ultimately that just added to the experience.
They provide food at the end of the trip. Definitely recommend AVA!
This place was great! Joey was our guide and did an outstanding job with a touch of humor with his favorite “geriatric” population! I look forward to our next visit! 👍❤
We liked rafting with AVA very much. The best part was our awesome guide, who we couldn’t leave a tip for. He was very good, he made the rafting trip more entertaining. While we were trying very hard to figure out which one of the instructors was ours, they hopped on the bus and left. We think his name might have been Despain. As advice for the future, maybe make it easier to differentiate between people without their gear on. 🤔 The fact that we didn’t leave a tip poisoned the rest of our trip.
Amazing new experience
Amazing experience, the guides were knowledgeable and kind. Would seriously recommend, but DO NOT attempt a skill level above 3 if you’re a beginner
Had a great day – exploring Brown’s Canyon on our first rafting experience. Durham was amazing – his humor, friendliness, and professionalism made the entire experience top notch! Can’t wait to come back and ride again.
Did the browns canyon over night stay with my two boys (8 and 11) with Lilly as our guide. By far the best experience you could ask for. Lilly got us through the rock labyrinth that the Arkansas river is without even a hiccup. Kirk was the guide on the other group that camped with us, super cool dude as well. “Skunk” was maning the gear boat, lemme just say your stuff is in great hands, was awesome to see him drive that raft packed full of gear by himself made it look so easy. The teamwork and coordination of those 3 made camp a place we never wanted to leave. Don’t forget to add the ziplining, that was amazing!
Fun activities. Always ensuring safety in all activities. Enjoyed rafting and Via feratia( sp?) at both locations.
Awesome experience with Alex G as our guide
My friends and I did the rafting & zip-lining combo. Our guides Sean, Hannah, & Corbin were fantastic. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Highly recommended.
What a great experience! Joining AVA Rafting was pleasant from the beginning. Easy reservation process, clear communication and instructions. Our guide, Fish, was very knowledgeable and personable. My family and I felt safe and had lots of fun! We recommend AVA Rafting & Zipline to all!
I’d book again. Wonderful day of great memories.
Excellent! Our guides Hanna and Patrick were great and a lot of fun. Highly recommend AVA!
AVA hosted our corporate event with 3/4 day rafting & lunch for 30 people. Great reservation staff that was very helpful for us as this was our first time, amazing experienced rafting guides who were a lot of fun and knowledgeable, and a delicious catered BBQ lunch! Clear Creek is a prime river for rafting for all skills. Our entire group had so much fun and at a reasonable cost!
I hope to have to opportunity to go back and take the family!
Best time ever! Our river guide Parker was amazing😃 Thank you!!!
I had such an amazing time on AVA’s New Via Ferrata! I did not really know what to expect because I have never been on a Via Ferrata Tour before but I absolutely loved it!! If you are looking for a fun and adventurous activity that is physically and mentally challenging, then I highly suggest exploring this new Via Ferrata Tour with AVA Rafting & Zip Line! You will have so much fun!
My son, Mitch and I were in good hands on the zipline with Megan & Luke. They explained each line understandably, moved the group along and were entertaining in the process. The check-in crew was very informative and helpful as well. Overall, a great experience!
The via ferrata was a lot of fun. Group size was small. Tour guides Emily and Sunshine were great. Would do it again, definitely if they expand the via ferrata parts.
If you are looking for a fun and unique experience for a group or family, then the Via Ferrata is a ton of fun. Not only do you get a little of everything, zip lining, repelling, and suspended log runs, you also are amazed by the incredible views of the surrounding mountains. A perfect activity for those that want a challenge in a fun safe environment. Via Ferrata started in the Italian Alps and perfect for those that want a fun adventure in a secure environment limited any fall. The experience is breathtaking and a must do on your Colorado Adventure list. Our guides Emily and Bailey were amazing making the trip a real wild adventure.
Our family (traveled with teens) thoroughly enjoyed our Upper Clear Creek adventure in Idaho Springs!! The rafting and ziplining were awesome and our guides were fabulous!!! Liam was our rafting guide and Lizzie & Juju were the ziplining guides…they were great!!!
The customer service from start to finish was fantastic. Everyone if friendly & accomidating.
Our rafting guide Wasp was great. He worked really hard & kept us all in the boat. The water was a little more shallow than desired & required a lot of work on his part. Thanks Wasp! You were awesome!
Our zipline guides were Erica & Sam. They were funny, knowledgeable & pure awesomeness! Thanks for an awesome adventure!
Btw potential customers, Don’t forget to tip your guide!!
Ava Rafting & Zipline in Idaho Springs, Co is one of the best experiences ever. I’ve Ziplined before in South Korea and in Dominican Republic but neither compares to the experience with Spencer & Emily. There are surprise optional courses you can take and it’s adventurous, daring and everything in between. Spencer and Emily are all vibes: positive, encouraging and kind! Special thanks to Spencer!! Thank you for walking the ropes with me! If you find yourself in Colorado, this adventure is so worth it! 🙌
Great experience. Our river guide Will was great. Our zipline guides MJ and Jacob were great.
Our guides EmJ & Alec we’re awesome! They were fun, entertaining and kept us safe! Great fun because if our guides!!
SWARMI & MARY ARE THE BEST
Rafting was great. The water was very high, and everybody had a blast.
We had a large group (18 people), and they had no trouble accommodating us. One of our party was recovering from a broken ankle (wearing a brace, not a cast), and they were very accommodating. Our guides went out of their way to make sure the injured person was safe and having fun.
My 90 year old Aunt Doris & I drove from Tulsa Oklahoma to zip line with Ava, had a marvelous time, they took very good care of us, would definitely go back.
Great experience overall! 10/10. Went Rafting today for the 1st time ever & had soo much fun! One of the guides Seth gave us a great run down of how things would go once the group gathered, super organized & QUICK! Everyone was anxious to get out there. Our guide was “TALL ERIC” & he made the experience that much better. Super down to earth, gave great instruction & made us all feel comfortable being we were 1st timers EVER on a Level 4 course. I will definitely be back to this place to try the next level & some other activities as well. They even give you a coupon for a free drink & TommyKnockers & that place was great too haha.
AVA provided an easy online booking experience and an awesome, well-organized rafting trip! The Gold Rush trip was perfect for the beginners in our group. Our guide, Hillary, was AWESOME! She made sure we were safe, having fun, and was an overall amazing guide! HIGHLY recommend!
Good beginning rafting. Nice views within Clear Creek Canyon. The guides were great, knowledgeable and energetic. They guided the raft well. Good job to Hillary and Lee.
The rapids are awesome and the guides were great! Super accommodating to beginners and those with a bit of experience! Bring an extra set of dry shoes and clothes. Have fun!
Fantastic experience! I have been rafting many times but the ride, view, rapids and fun information made this a 5 star experience!
Be sure to request Dagnar. Super fun and informative! He sent us on a more adventurous path and we thoroughly enjoyed it.
Had a blast
Lee was our rafting guide. He did a great job instructing us and getting us safely thru Hell’s 1/2 mile. We had an awesome time on a tough trip. Lots of rapids, and loved the waterfalls! The office and restrooms were very clean and had all the amenities you would need.
Good exciting ride!!!!
Awesome Experience… Our guide, Brett, was amazing… Would definitely recommend if you are vacationing/live near Idaho Springs, CO
They have a very smooth and professional set up. Everything from the guides to pictures! The whole staff is awesome, and the experience is exhilarating.
We have rated with this outfitter for years. We go to the Idaho Springs location. We did the 3/4 day trip and had a blast. The guide totally made the trip. Everyone stayed in the boat and we didn’t flip. We’ll likely be back next summer.
Went rafting! Lee and Seth are amazing guides! Great experience! Fun Thrill!
We had a fantastic time with Shelby & Alex. They were great river guides. They kept us safe while having a ton of fun. I highly recommend them both!
Our family had the best time on this Zip-line course, this is NOT the course you see off the highway it’s up the cliffside.
Our guides Tessa & Mickey were absolutely amazing. They were professional, friendly, funny & made zip lining look effortless & graceful.
The first zipline “jump” was a bit frightful straight off a cliff. The boys fearless, were quick to leap first & left me to figure it out. And with my fear of heights & also not the most adventurous nor athletic person, we were off!! Mickey & Tessa were so patient & understanding with me on the course & allowed me to move at my own pace. Without your help, guidance & patience I probably wouldn’t haven’t finished the entire course. Beyond grateful for the both of you today!! Thank you again 😉
We had the most amazing time definitely will be back to try their Rafting experience!!
Our group of 7 went to AVA Rafting & Ziplining for a fun day of adventure while vacationing in Colorado. We were excited for the thrill of ziplining above the picturesque views of Idaho Springs. The Via Ferrata is a challenging course where you are walking around the cliffs on iron bars all while harnessed in and attached to cables. We jumped off a bridge, rappelled down a cliff, and ziplined down two sections to get to the bottom of the entire course. It was 3 hours of thrilling adventure all the while being entertained by our guides. Chris “Pye” and Travis – AKA “Riggs”. They were both very experienced guides. They were informative on how to use our equipment, how to properly position oursleves for repelling, instructed us to keep us safe, and also kept us laughing. I highly recommend you visit AVA and ask for them to guide your group. We will come back to Colorado to do more adventures with AVA like the river rafting.
Awesome trip!
Had a great time zip lining with Tim and Brion. Lots of fun for all ages.
AVA Rafting & Zipline is AWESOME!! Definitely check this place out. We did the ziplining trip in Idaho Springs, CO. Our guides, Dagnar and Gooze were AMAZING! They were funny and provided us with a safe, fun, beautiful experience for our whole family. Gooze was especially awesome in helping our youngest son zipline and have a great time! Dangar also provided us with some history of the area prior to the trip which was great and interesting! Also, they provided local hiking spots in which we took one post zip line and it was so beautiful. This is your place for a fun, Colorado adventure! Highly recommend.
Had a fantastic time in Colorado. AVA Rafting & Zipline was a great and fun experience. Our guide for whitewater rafting was so informative and offered local animal information/habitat and mining history…fascinating!
We did the Idaho Springs Cliffside Ziplining on 8/23/2020. Our guides Tim & Brian were fantastic! They made our trip fun and exciting while also calming my fear of heights. The course along the cliffside was such a neat way to add some excitement to the lines. If you sign up for this trip you have to do the free fall jump! It was so much fun 🙂 We would definitely book another trip when we make our way back to Colorado.
The best.
Rose and Tess were the best on the zipline. I was scared for my first time but they made me feel comfortable. Alexander was the best guide on the raft. He was from Austin Texas like us and he gave us a great experience!
Great zipping experience. Max was super helpful and also pretty entertaining 😄
Highly recommend this outfit. Good peeps.
We experienced the Via Farrata route with Max and Tessa & had a great experience. Our guides were friendly, professional, and effective. I always felt safe and we were pleasantly surprised by getting to do some zip lining and ropes course-style stuff along the way. This was our first time on the via and it was pretty cool. We had expected it to be more like rock climbing, but it was slightly different. Along the route there are rebar posts that you hang on to as you move along. Not a bag thing just a very different experience from rock climbing and having to pick your route. Overall this was a great way to spend the afternoon. Highly recommended.
Great guides! The via ferrata was fun! Very safe course plus there’s some zip lines and a bungie jump, etc. built into it. Was definitely worth it
Brina & Rose were excellent guides and we had a blast together. Thank you for helping to create a lifelong experience for our family! We look forward to zip lining with AVA again for sure.
What an experience will never forget this trip down to Colorado a day full of kayaking in the Colorado River followed by ziplines in Idaho Springs. Rafting/Kayaking (kremmling) instructors Jon&Mark where very helpful also had some great jokes along the bus ride.(Idaho Springs) Zipline instructors Randy& Max were also very friendly and did great in their demonstration will definitely be returning on my next trip to Colorado!
Rose & Randi were the best…this was my first trip & I felt completely safe with their instruction!! I will definitely come back & recommend family & friends! Thank you R & R for a great time & for making me feel normal for screaming the whole time 😄
Loved it!!!!!!
We had a wonderful experience doing the Via Ferrata with our guides, Mickey and Dagnar. It was our first time climbing, but we felt confident the whole time. They really made the whole experience enjoyable and explained everything in detail. I will definitely be coming back and only requesting Mickey and Dagnar!
I took my wife and my three children (Ages 14, 12 and 6) zip lining and we had an awesome awesome experience. The crew was very friendly, professional, educational and fun. They took really good care of my 6 year old especially and made us feel very comfortable. I highly recommend this place for all family types and ages.
The staff was VERY friendly and they were all about the zipliners being safe. We came all the way from Texas just to zipline there. Martini and Goose are the best!
Spencer and Max were so awesome today during my first Via Ferrata. They were very patient, encouraging, supportive and they made it fun! Thank you both for such an awesome experience! Highly recommend.
Went zip lining with my family today had great fun. My 10 year old was very nervous but quickly lost all that fear. MJ and Siggy? And hunter were great guides and had lots of fun!! Loved how the lines were build into the terrain and not just towers you climbed up!!
We visited the Idaho Springs location and did zip lining. It was myself and three teenagers. We had an incredible time. MJ and Martina were our guides and they were exceptional. They were fun and helpful. They gave excellent instructions and made us feel very safe! There were 6 lines, all a little different. I think we definitely got our money’s worth! I highly recommend adding this adventure to your trip planning!
We booked a ½ day zip line and ½ white water rafting. It will be a lasting memory of our family. Mike and Mikey were are zip lining guides. They were professional and fun, caring for each individual at the level. Val was our guide on the river. She knows her stuff. We felt very confident with her as our guide. AVA had professional employees that were helpful and fun. Btw the fajitas were good too.
Best time ever! A big shot out to the most experienced and enthusiastic zip line guides! Thank you Kyle, Shawn, James and Alejandro !!!! 😃
Kyle was an amazing guide! We had such a great time water rafting. We will be back. If your headed down to blue river ask to ride with Kyle he’s great!
We really loved our guide and raft trip with AVA Rafting & Zipline! We will definitely go again when we return to Colorado!
My family had a great time white water rafting with AVA. Avery was a terrific guide and helped my kids feel like pros during the entire trip while keeping us safe and entertained.
Our group had a great time! Sunshine and Emily were our guides and they were awesome working with everyone. We mostly scaled the side of the mountain and in between there were some bridges to cross. You jump off a bridge and safely land onto a platform and you will scale down the mountain on a pulley system. After all this you will zip line all the way back to their office.
We had a great time and it’s fun to test yourself and the whole time you are enjoying the view of the city and the near by mountains.
We did a float trip on the Colorado with some family that was in town from Germany. Our youngest was 4 along with some other pretty young kids and out guide Katie kept everyone entertained the whole trip, including the bus ride. I always call AVA when I have family in town that want to do a commercial rafting trip.
My family did a half day zip and a half day on Browns canyon last summer and had a great time. Our guides were the best!
Love new adventures, then make sure to put Via Ferrata on your list while visiting Breckenridge. The team at AVA has an amazing course located in beautiful Idaho Springs off I-70. It is a nice getaway to experience both WhiteWater Rafting in the morning and Via Ferrata in the afternoon. The best part of the trip was the incredible views from the side of the mountain. A great activity for a family or group. Our guides Bailey and Emily were top-notch. Both safe, yet their experience made the trip exceptional. They had fun facts about the surrounding area.
Our 1st white water trip in Colorado was an awesome experience!!! I would like to thank both our guide Eric for a great experience and our photographer was wonderful!!! I will totally recommend this company to family and friends.
My wife and I did the three day Mild to Wild June 19-21st 2018. Mike Crook and Nic were absolutely amazing, their extensive knowledge of the Arkansas River made us feel so comfortable tackling class 1 all the way to the fast paced class 5 white water. From the time we arrived at AVA in Buena Vista we were treated like family. Mike and Nic handled everything we could of possibly needed on this trip and treated us like family from start to finish. Nico was our rock climbing and repelling guide, this guy is part mountain goat and walked us through the entire process. Anthony was our zipline guide, and just like everyone we met at AVA was a happy and well trained guide (zipline #5 is awesome). To sum it up we thought this would be a once in a life time trip, but after our experience we can’t wait to return with our two children and share our new found love for AVA Adventures and the Arkansas River valley. I would give them 10 stars if it was possible!
We had such a wonderful experience with Ava and all there employees, we had Mike crook and nic with us on the mild to wild and they made us feel right at home, Niko was with us for rock climbing, which I am afraid of heights but he helped me get over that fear quickly, and Anthony was with us to do zip lining which was amazing, we can’t wait to return and have another great adventure!!!
AVA Rafting in Kremmling, CO is an awesome experience! Our guide, Jamie, was informative, safe, and fun!! We really liked her. We were also very impressed with how organized and smooth the event was. And thanks to the amazing bus driver, Chile, for keeping us safe!!
Bobby was a great guide, my family had an awesome first time rafting experience!
We had a great day of first zip lining and then rafting. Both were great. THey really are separate experiences, but if you do them both you get a very full and complete day. The zip-lining is a short (5 min) bus drive away from the AVA center in BV. The guides were great. I wish I could remember their names to call them out, but each were unique characters. We had some people in our group who were a little nervous, but they made it both safe and fun. In the afternoon, we went rafting. Cameron was out guide and he was great. Super safe and very knowledgeable. I had my sons and nieces on our boat (all teenagers) and they had an absolute blast. Ask for Cameron if you can, and ask him about his hiking experiences. Rafting was a 30 min bus ride away and 45 minute return, but it went quickly. For rafting, I really recommend a light wicking shirt (not cotton.). You will get wet and cotton would be uncomfortable. Expect to get wet. Bring some attachments for your sunglasses (or buy them for $8 at the AVA store.) My only feedback for AVA is there was quite a but of unnecessary waiting around after lunch (we were waiting for a late group to arrive.) Would be better to tighten it up. The day ended up being very long – we did not leave until around 7pm. Overall, great experience and I highly recommend.
Not the best place to go past september. But still fun To do.
My family and I signed up for both the rafting and zipline experience. we had a great time! I was really impressed with the knowledge each guide had and also the emphasis on safety was outstanding!
Our river guide was Christian! He was awesome:-) Kept us having fun and staying safe! The river was really high and running fast so my 13 year old daughter was a bit nervous but he made her feel comfortable and she had a huge smile on her face the entire ride!
Our zip line guides were Shawn and Devon. They were supper high energy and really enjoyed getting the kids into the spirit of sailing through the trees!
You could tell that all guides loved their job and the outdoors! They were super fun and encouraging!
I have an 11 and 13 year old.
We had excellent time during our float on the Blue River! The passengers on our boat were all first-timers, and our guide Michelle did an excellent job of preparing us for the trip and getting us down the river. We will definitely be using AVA in the future!
My 12 year old son and I did the overnight rafting and camping in Brown Canyon. It was perfect! You start on slower rapids then it gets a little more each time. Perfect for the first timer and people with their kids. The entire staff was awesome and fun. Hank was our guide and he was perfect for the two kids on our raft. The camping part was smooth and fun. They have a great system in place, it was just such a great night. I definitely recommend them for rafting and any other events. Definitely coming back but with the entire family next time.
It was a great experience!!! It was so much fun!! Our guide was Kyle and he was awesome! Loved it ❤️ Definitely recommend!! 😁😁😁 100/10
Amazing experience! The guides were fun and helped keep everyone safe. Lane was talkative and kept the group engaged. Can’t wait to do it again.
The staff was very organized and very informed. They took a lot of time to make sure everyone was safe on the water. The staff told us all about the areas we were rafting through. Beautiful scenery. Very fun experience.
We went on the Blue River at noon on 7/20 and had Lane for our guide! Lemme tell, we had such an awesome experience! The 5 of us in our group will never forget it!!!! Lane was so knowledgeable and always complimented us on how great of a job we were doing! Our raft was definitely having more fun than all the others, tons of paddle high-fives and positive vibes! Can’t wait to go again!!!
FANTASTIC!! Our family absolutely loved it! Our guide, Shawn, was top notch. He’s a great teacher and was so good with our kids. That dudes a rock star!! We’re already talking about our next trip to CO and AVA will be part of it!
We had the best time! Our guide, Seth, made it so much fun! It’s a great memory from our family vacation. Thanks AVA Rafting and Zipline!
My family and I took the half day Upper Colorado River float trip from Kremmling (about an hour trip from Breckenridge, easy to navigate and scenic). Thrill level was perfect for us — 6 beginners ranging from age 6 to 40, none of whom would place rafting anywhere near our comfort zones. Most of the trip was a scenic float; a couple miles’ worth were what they called class 2 to 3 rapids. The guides were great, really knowledgeable and friendly, allaying our fears almost immediately. The only regret we had was not booking the full day.
For our first time rafting, we did the Brown’s half day and we really didn’t want it to be over! Shawn Daws was our enthusiastic guide. He was informative, fun and he even taught our 14 yo son how to steer from the back! I highly recommend this as a first time experience, it left us wanting to go again as soon as possible!!
Thank you for a fun and exciting trip! Shawn D. was an exceptional guide – funny, encouraging, had knowledge of the land and taught us the basics quickly. I couldn’t have had a better experience for my first time rafting.
I got Shaun Daws as a tour mentor and he was very frendly and I had a blast white water rafting. He was loud kind and funny. I had a great time
Great people and a great ride! They are great to work with
Awesome guides,well organized great for any skill level.
Definitely the highlight of our trip! The staff was so fun and nice and made the whole experience delightful! The entire ride was super smooth and exciting at the same time. I would for sure recommend this place to anyone who wants a day full of fun.
Thank you guides Adrian and Devon for a wonderful and safe ziplining experience! We hope to see you when we return!
I work here now. Place is amazing!!! Not because I work here; I’m not saying I make it amazing.
Our tour guide was fun and made the whole experience a blast! The trip down river was exhilarating and can’t wait to ride more of what they have to offer. They prepare you for every scenario and leave you with a great experience. Recommend for any summer trip to Colorado and they have options for every level of rafting so no one is left out.
We experienced the Via Ferrata tour with Anthony and Durham as guides!! What an amazing afternoon! They were extremely professional and knowledgeable making the whole experience extremely pleasant!!! Would give a 6 starts if there was an option!
We had a great day on the river with Alex. We were well informed, safe and ready for the rapids. We had a blast, just enough action and were clearly on the right boats. We definitely watched other companies and crews struggling or getting stuck. Thanks, Alex!
We had a group of 10 and had an outstanding time! Highlight was cliff jumping…our whole group did it! Edi was a rockstar guide (stand up comedian extraordinare) Scotty owned the road, and Gus was..living his best life.
We had an amazing time with AVA! The staff welcomed us immediately and provided excellent instruction in what we could expect. Our guide was Devo. Not only was he hilarious, but he knows the river like the back of his hand. He is a self-taught geologist with a wealth of knowledge about the landscape. You will leave his tour wanting to know more about the Colorado Gore Canyon while giggling about the one-liners he was throwing out. We would do this again a heartbeat!
My best friend and I did a package of rafting and ziplining. Both activities were amazing. We had Lee as a guide for rafting and he made sure that we had fun and also made us laugh. We then had Rose and Max for our ziplining guides. They were easygoing and funny while still making sure to make everything safe. Loved the experiences we had and would highly recommend them to anyone staying in Colorado!
We took an easy tour with children. It was too calm even for them. Views we’re spectacular. We saw a bald eagle. Overall good experience
Came in as a walk in after another company in the area lost our reservation. AVA was able to find room for us at the last minute. I’ve done the Upper Colorado trip with 3 other outfitters, but this was by far one of the most enjoyable trips I’ve had. Ken, our guide, made it extremely fun for the kids and adults, got us plenty wet, and knew a lot about the area. I highly recommend booking with AVA.
AVA offered us a great experience on the Colorado River. Our guide Ken was very knowledgeable and good company on this trip. Some of the members of my group were able to jump off of a cliff, as well, which they really enjoyed.
Highly recommend this place. We had an amazing time. Our guide Jamie was the best. Ask her about the squishy udders.
This was a great experience we all enjoyed. The crew was simply great especially our boat captain Nick . Very knowledgeable on “reading the river”
Ken was the best guide and we had a blast. Definitely the best river raft trip we have ever taken.
Our guide Ken and the entire staff at AVA were great. We had a fantastic trip. I would gladly book more trips with AVA in the future!
We went rafting in September and our guides were professional, fun, knowledge and very entertaining. I couldn’t imagine having a better time. We’re recommending it to everyone. Make sure you ask for Ken Omiya to bye your guide! He’s the best!
This was our first water rafting experience. I had planned this trip for about a month so I had done some research before deciding to book with AVA. We were a family of 4, 2 adults and one 7 year old and one 10 year old. We did the level 1 half a day ” float” experience on the Colorado River at 9 am. The guides are really fun. They enjoy their job. My guide was more on the quiet side but its not a big deal. The views you get in this experience are breathtaking. Just stunning views of mountains and forest. My group was originally 7 and we were split up. I would have liked to have known in advanced that we needed to clarify if we were going to be in a group. No one told me and honestly I wasn’t aware of the time and strategy that is put in place to give us a safe experience. Also I had originally wanted to book another rafting trip but when I called they let me know the website was not updated and the age had changed. Updating the site would be helpful. I forgot my waterproof cellphone necklace and that is my fault but I’d just like to suggest selling some at the gift shop. you will get wet, there are about 2 to 3 rapids you go over and some splashing with water guns. Take sunblock, water shoes and bug spray. Over all an awesome experience. I will definitely be back!
Rafting with AVA was easily the best part of our Colorado vacation. We drove over from Estes Park to Kremmling for the trip and it was so worth the drive and the trip.
Our guide, Dylan, was great and we enjoyed the conversation and experience with him. We rafted the Colorado River and it was higher (and rougher) than usual. Our 3 year old daughter came along and she had a blast!
Cannot recommend rafting and AVA highly enough.
Incredible trip and guides were the best. Seth was terrific. Very knowledgeable and experienced. He should be commended for his terrific attitude and professionalism.
Great team!
We chose the Kremmling Upper Colorado “scenic float” with our 5 year old daughter. Calling the reservations center was easy and convenient. Pleasant people all around at this company – definately no shortage on customer service.
Seth was our tour guide. Not only was he extremely friendly and patient with our 5 year old chatter box, he was rich in historical landmark knowledge of the area which made my experience that much more enjoyable and entertaining, but it hey – I’m a history dork. We stopped and let the daredevils jump off of “Jump Rock”, a 25 foot cliff. The little daredevils made a splash off of the 6 foot “Punk Rock”. I chickened out. No regrets there.
Since we went late in the season, the river was low. I felt this was an excellent opportunity to introduce our daughter to rafting on the Colorado River. They have lots to offer for all experience levels.
If you’re on the fence, not sure if you want to do a trip – or just not sure what company to book with- just book with AVA. Just do it, you won’t regret it.
Our guide Rowan was awesome. It’s a great float day on the water which is what we were looking for. People had fun diving off the 30 foot Cliff along the way and a 5 foot Cliff for kids.
Phenomenal experience. Eric and Grayson made our first trip an awesome one! We had fun listening to stories, seeing wildlife and enjoying some class 2 rapids…maybe a 3 in there…or maybe they were just being nice to us. Either way, loved it and would HIGHLY recommend these guys and AVA Rafting. Going back for a fly fishing trip now.
Grayson was great,and great service all around
We had a great time with this outfit. Our raft guides were so knowledgeable, kind, and energetic. My husband and I took our kids on a class I/II river – this was their first rafting experience and they loved it! Thanks so much AVA – we’ll be back!
We did the rafting and have 4 words: Super fun! Do it!
Highly recommend going if you’re in the area. Our family of 6 had so much fun. Even my almost 71 year old mother was able to join us, and had a blast! (She didn’t paddle)
Grayson and Lane were great, and made it so fun. Don’t forget to tip your guides!
Great family experience. Our guides, David and Katie, were fantastic. Our toddler had a blast on the river.
My family and I just finished our Full Day Scenic Rafting trip with AVA and i must say it was an excellent experience. Our trip leader Brian and the other guide (I am sorry i cant remember his name as he was in the other raft) we both very professional, helpful and friendly. It was an amazing experience and even my mother who was extremely apprehensive about whitewater rafting thoroughly enjoyed herself. I would highly recommend AVA Rafting and Zipline to anyone wanting to try rafting.
We took the half day on the upper Colorado. Great guide (David) and amazing scenery. The check in was a little chaotic but it worked out and we understand that procedures are challenging during the pandemic. Arrive a bit early!
Our group of 15 had a wonderful time with an all day guided raft trip down the upper Colorado River. Our guides were wonderful and knowledgeable throughout the trip. They provided an awesome lunch, I expected a boring paper bag prepacked lunch, but it was far better than that! Would recommend this float trip to anyone! Well worth every penny!
I choose AVA for all of my rafting adventures and have yet to be disappointed! The guides are all kind and extremely knowledgeable in their field. Would 100% recommend any of the AVA outposts for your rafting, fishing, kayaking, zipline and ATV adventure needs!!
Awesome time rafting and great outfit. Our guide, Christian, was extremely knowledgeable and did an excellent job making sure our kids were having fun. I highly recommend AVA and Christian!
Great trip for our family of 6 with the youngest being 6 years old. We will definitely be a return customer on our next CO trip.
Guides were awesome and so much fun. Even in the rain 😁
This was a great trip. Even with the river being crowded it was really fun and our guide John was great!
our tour guide was David and we did the Colorado rafting trip. It was lots of fun and worth the money. It was a pretty mellow trip but David made it fun for the kids. We bounced off rocks when possible and stopped for quick dips in the river as well. I would recommend this trip to young families.
We had a great time rafting down a stretch of the Colorado river. Our guide Ken was great and friendly. Knew a lot about the river too. Everything went smooth from our arrival, to the raft experience o n the river, and finally the bus ride back to the start. We will definitely raft again with them. May be a higher category rapids next time. Everything felt safe in relation to the covid epidemic, mask required everywhere but on your raft, all the equipment we used was clean.
LOVED our trip for our young family! Dave was the best boat guide, and Ken, Katie, Evie, and Carrie were such a fun team to be with too! We’ll definitely be back again and again! Also, do yourself a favor and go eat at The Dean West when you’re done!
John our guide knew how to make the trip memorable. We did the 1/3 day raft and we enjoyed it so much! He gave the right balance of instruction and cow jokes, and made some of the first-timers in our group feel very comfortable. This was my second time doing Kremmling with AVA and I know it won’t be our last!!!
Cameron took time to teach me some things about fly fishing. It was my first time and will definitely be back. Thanks Cameron. Maybe next time I can “answer the phone”?
Awesome day on the water! My wife and I did the full day in duckies (kayaks) and the guides, Devo and Christian, were awesome and very helpful. They had a great lunch ready for us halfway thru the trip. Guys definitely know what they’re doing and have a blast doing it!
Good trip. My only critique would be that nowhere on the website did it say that we would be paired with a family on a raft trip. We had kayaks but were with a family with 3 children all under the age of 6. Had to wait for them to jump off a rock before continuing to kayak. Guide was great.
We did the kayaking trip with Lee and had a great time! We love all of the guided tours we have done with AVA. They hire great people and they are super professional. I always feel safe and my business is appreciated! Can’t wait to hang out with the AVA folks again!
Jamie was an awesome rafting guide! Book with her!
Mark was so patient with me kayaking. It was the best experience I’ve had yet.
The staff was amazing by the start! The lady on the phone was sooo helpful & kind to my Dad & his girlfriend. When we arrived at Ava, everyone was super friendly & made us sure that we would be safe and told us clearly what safety procedures to follow. The guides were super chill & funny. What an amazing, exciting, fun & relaxing experience! We will be back!
Incredible experience 10/10 would go again! Our guide Ryan was terrific!
Alexander took us on a white water rafting guide in a group of 5. Very, very funny – we had a blast. An amazing employee and a beautiful float.
Had a really fun time this weekend on the via ferrata. If they ever expand this route, we would totally come back and do it again. We had gorgeous weather and our guides, Emily and Sunshine were awesome! Thanks again.
Great place supper friendly and organise staff, Kenny and Mike are the best.We would defiantly be coming back.
Loved it!
Steve is by far the best white water rafting guide EVER!!!! With over 30 plus years of experience, he is able to navigate the waters like no other. As a first time white water rafter, I was definitely apprehensive of what could happen out there but Steve knew exactly how to lead the raft, organize groups, and do this all in a very fun and safe manner. I would highly recommend doing any of the activities with AVA. They know what they are doing and without a doubt you will have a great time!
I had such a great time, Rachel was so funny and she just made our trip so enjoyable! Everyone was so great but Rachel in the office made us laugh so much and feel right at home .
Mark did a fantastic job guiding our boat down the Upper Colorado river. The rest of the AVA staff was professional and respectful. Would definitely book future adventure trips with AVA.
Went zip lining with Matt & Shaun and had an awesome time, they were fun, informative and great tour guides for the trip. Would definitely book a trip with AVA again.
Caleb and Matt were the best guides to have for having gone the first time to zip line. I needed extra attention and they were very patient and accomodating 🙂 Will make sure that I reccomend them anytime someone is trying to go zipling for their first time !!!
We were a bachelor party crew that came all the way from Chicago. This was the best tour i’ve ever received in Denver and our tour guides were super friendly, funny, but serious about our safety (all at the same time). Once we’re back in Denver, we’ll make sure to go w/ AVA again!!! I have some friends coming in from Chicago soon, and i’ll make sure i recommend them to you all as well. Thanks for a wonderful time (even though i was scared to death). Yes, you guys know, i’m Jaison….that is me. But I’m glad i pulled through and you all had the confidence in me to get it done. Much appreciated for a WONDERFUL time! 5 stars all day long.
All of the guides did an outstanding job, zip lining was a blast
We did a full day with AVA, zip-lining in morning and rafting in the afternoon.
Our guides for the zip line (EmJ and Sam) were extremely helpful and personable, they truly made our experience better. The lines were nice for people who hadn’t zip-lined, and there were multiple high rope-esque options to partake in.
Neil led our rafting tour and was amazing! He had unmatched energy and made the tour truly memorable
My wife and I came white water rafting here on our one year wedding anniversary. We took a week long vacation to Denver and I can honestly say the day we went white water rafting was amazing. I was raised in southern Louisiana so white water rafting isn’t a thing where I live, so it was my first experience to be surrounded my mountains going through rapids. It was even more fun because no one in our group wanted the front of the raft so my wife and I took it on and got SOAKING wet from head to toe, the water was FREEZING but it was the best experience I’ve ever had. Our leader (I think that’s what you call him) made the experience so amazing for us, I wish I could remember his name, it was like a year ago. (All I remember was he had a rad mustache.) Once I’m finished with school my wife and I plan on moving to Colorado Springs, and I actually really look forward to paying you guys a visit! And I think I might wanna try zip lining the next time I go as well! Thank you guys for creating lasting memories for us! SHOCKABRA!
A group of friends and I went white water rafting on the Blue River in Colorado, level 3. It was perfect for beginners. We had the best time and can’t wait to do it again. The staff was professional and fun. Our guide, Lance, was so much fun and we’re so glad we were his “crew.” Awesome experience!
We went to the Idaho Springs location for zip lining. Course was great for us and the staff was friendly and helpful. But our zip line guides, EmJ and Tess were fun, amazing and great ladies.
Had an amazing time with AVA! Make sure to request Brett for the rafting if you get the chance! Very friendly and awesome at his job. Will definitely be coming back for a more intense trip. Oh Hecka Yeah!
This was my first time rafting and it couldnt have been better. If youre looking for a place to raft look no further. All the staff was super friendly and ready to accommodate us in anyway possible. Highlight of the trip though was our guide Brett. Definitely made the trip top notch. Knew the area really well and was joking around to lighten up the nerves.
SO much fun it was.
I did a white water rafting project and choose this website to do the project on. After doing the project I was interested in going there. 🙂
Andy was very helpful and professional. He helped my husband and I plan a wonderful trip along the Colorado River!!
Did the zip line & rafting combo years back & never wrote a review, but it was a great day. The zip line views were amazing and guides were funny & calming. Felt safe the whole time. Even lunch was good. Would definitely do again if I go back to CO.
We had the best time on the river with Eric! He was amazing! We will definitely be back!
I was down there for vacation in Colorado with my sister and friend. We got a package deal through the AVA rafting and horseback. The watering rafting was our first time doing it. They are professional, nice. The guide Grayson was amazing, fun, and knew what he was doing. I had so much fun with horseback and rafting.And definitely going to be doing it again when I go back to Colorado.
Our group of 4 had a great time doing the float with our guides Alex and Christian. It was really beautiful. They told us fun information about the area (Sir Al Gore?? Haha). We all felt very safe and it was the highlight of our trip. I will 100% use AVA again.
I did the zip lining course and was led by Tyler and Randy. They were really amazing in calming nerves and super understanding. They thoroughly instruct you before each line and make sure you’re safe. Great experience and my and my family LOVED it! So fun and the scenery is gorgeous.
Mickey and Gooz were very professional and funny. My boyfriend and I had a good time ziplining for the first time.
Voted as the Best Rafting in Idaho Springs for 2019 and 2020, you’ve got to come to AVA to get your adrenaline rushing! Rafting down Clear Creek is the most fun and exciting way to take in the nature and beauty of Idaho Springs. If rafting isn’t your thing, they also have zip-lining and via ferrata, which we also highly recommend! Check them out today!
We went ziplining at AVA in late September and had an amazing experience! A few of us in the group were ziplining for the first time. Our guides, Mickey and Dagnar, were the best. They made us feel safe and comfortable from the get go. Throughout the course, they gave us detailed instructions while still keeping it fun. We’ll definitely be back!
the two guides max and saddie made our time the best! they were very nice and fun.
BEST rafting trip my wife and I have ever had! Huge “thank you” to Chris for showing us a great time on the Arkansas River. We hope to see you on the Gauley sometime this fall!
AVA rocks! We are from Miami and it was our first time rafting. We chose a 3/4 day trip on the Arkansas River with Class III rapids. Thomas led our raft, and he was amazing! We felt completely safe following his instructions. It was one of the best days we had in Colorado. We will definitely be using AVA again on our next trip up there.
WOW!!! ROCK STAR ADVENTURE, ROCK STAR GUIDES!!!!! Could NOT have asked for a better adventure or better guides for this exciting day for my family!!!! Shawn, Crystal and Damon were absolutely stellar zip line and white water guides! I sincerely trust AVA and its staff for a safe, thrilling adventure for all skill levels. Today was a day we will not forget!!
Raft guides were very knowledgeable. I’ve rafted in PA and CO and this was one of my favorite experiences. We had Chris Baer as our raft guide and he recommended some other rafting trips through different companies. Really appreciated their hospitality!
We booked rafting and camping with AVA at the Granite outpost. Booking was easy over the phone and they even gave us a campsite for free because we were rafting. When we got there, we were disappointed to find that the campsites were not as described on the website and were tiny–barely big enough for a single pup tent, much less big enough for one large or two small tents as the website described. The sites were also at the top of a steep hill, which would have been impossible for our grandmother to climb while she was there with us. We almost had to cancel the whole trip and go home.
However, the staff at the outpost were absolutely incredible and made our experience shoot from a 0 to 5 stars right away. They took shovels and rakes up the hill, moved rocks, and made a larger campsite for us, even offering to haul sand bags up to level it out. They helped us carry all of our gear up the hill. Then, a few minutes later, the boss came up and said they had a last-minute cancellation on one of their cabins and offered it to us. We accepted and he let us use it with no additional charge. It was a trip saver!
The staff at the outpost–from the boss to the front desk staff to the cooks–and our guide on the river were all absolutely amazing and they made our trip incredible. We will definitely go see them again!!
We did the Advanced Full Day rafting trip as a bachelor party June 2016. We had Shaun Lammert and Kurt as guides. It was awesome! Awesome trip, nobody dumped into the river, great BBQ lunch, great energy from crew. Two gnarly thumbs up!
We took our two kids, 7 and 9, on the Brown’s Canyon Express rafting trip on June 19, 2016. We went through AVA at the Granite Post. This was the best experience and worth every penny! Our guide, Paul, was fabulous and so knowledgeable. Everyone with AVA was helpful from beginning to end making sure we were fitted correctly on our gear and our kids were safe. Couldn’t ask for nicer folks! The amount of time on the water was perfect for our age children. We can’t wait to raft class 4/5 when our kids are older! I highly recommend AVA!
I have done the Browns Canyon run twice with AVA, Once with work and once with the family. I had a good time the first time, and amazing time the second. I can’t remember the first guides name, but the second was Avery. She was amazing. if we go back I would request to be in her boat. She was fun, knowledgeable, talkative, and friendly. She took the trip from good to great.
First of all, I love this company. The guides were so friendly and made me very comfortable. It was my first time zipping and the father-son duo were excellent! Shawn and Adrian were very fun and professional. Highly recommend this company with Shawn and Adrian especially! Thank you!
If you decide to do the rafting trip as well, ask for Hank! I’ve been rafting 3 times before, and he has been by far the best guide I’ve ever had! He was super fun and professional! The rafting was as fun as it was safe! I will be going back to ava with my family next year and we will make sure he is our guide!
Thank you so much, Shawn, Adrian and hank for an amazing family trip!
LOVED IT!!! Husband and kids first rafting trip and they had a blast! Tom was a GREAT guide. We did the sizzler with lunch and it was yummy!!! Will use this rafting company again!!!!!
Awesome Browns Canyon 1/2 day rafting trip. Our guide, Joci, was fantastic. My children (12, 14 and 17) thought it was a highlight of our 17-day camping adventure which included several national parks beginning with Carlsbad Caverns and ending at Yellowstone (with a stop at Rushmore heading home). Highly recommend this adventure!
Sooooooo much fun!!! Lucas rules!!!
My family and I booked online which was a pretty easy process.
We arrived 30 minutes early checked in and had to wait. The wait went by very quickly. They had complimentary tea, coffee, and hot chocolate (out of order when we arrived but appreciated the gesture). Outside there are yard games to play: corn hole, the golf ball string game, horseshoes, etc.
You are able to use a wet suit or a jacket to keep warm.
We went for the full day which included 3 hrs of rafting, followed by lunch, and then 2 hrs of rafting to finish the day out. I think we hit 4-5 level 3 rapids which was perfect for our group.
Had an awesome time with you all! Randy was great. He made it easier for the non experienced family members to get comfortable with class 3 rapids. Afterwards the family members who were a little scared told me they would probably not go again unless Randy is there guide again!
Would definitely go again at this location. Maybe to try the level 4 or 5!
Great outfit pit on a great trip!
Epic place, offered lots of good trips and had awesome staff
Scheduled at the last minute and the staff was very accommodating. Nice outpost with plenty of merchandise available. We did the full day Brown’s canyon trip and it was great for beginners. Our guide, Colin, was AWESOME. He was knowledgeable and fun to be around. The views along the way were beautiful and the full day trip includes a sizzling lunch, prepared by the guides. Would highly recommend this trip for beginner adults with a sense of adventure.
Had accident on the trip but was tended to very professionally by guide who has been a firefighter paramedic.
I’ve been counting the days until AVA Granite opens back up! This company & location astounded me last summer and I’m so excited to have found it! Almost rafting season!
We had an absolutely fantastic time doing the Brown’s Canyon 1/2 day trip. The staff was so friendly, helpful and organized, and our guide Sparkles/Jessica was funny, knowledgeable, skilled and so nice. We’re already planning our next trip this summer and can’t wait to take on a new trip with her!
Friendly, professional staff. Very accommodating and knowledgeable about the area. We had a blast on the full day rafting trip! Highly recommended.
Great rafting trip on the Arkansas river great guides Matt and Apley
This was our 1st zip line tour, and it was awesome. Our guides were fun & entertaining, and we could tell they throughly enjoy their job.
Great staff. Great guide (Matt). Great trip. Brown’s Canyon with family of 6 (Children ages 7-13). Couldn’t recommend this company higher.
Our party didn’t stay over night, so this review is strictly for the rafting experience. All eight of us had a blast. We have yet to stop talking about it . This was the highlight of our week in Breckenridge. The Numbers was a nice class IV that challenged the whole group. Our guides made everything seamless and exciting…most importantly safe!
My family and I had an amazing time white water rafting with AVA. We had a safe and enjoyable experience thanks to Alex G. who showed us all cool new things about Colorado (the landmarks). She was very fun and we shared many laughs with her, and she allowed our family to create some amazing new memories! We will definitely be coming back to white water raft with you guys again sometime in the near future. Overall this was a great experience and we owe that partially to Alex G. because she was an outstanding guide.
Rafted with this crew of professionals today with all smiles! What a great group of guides to adventure the Arkansas River with! Fun, knowledgeable, and sticklers on safety! Macy was our guide and she was terrific. Calm cool and collected guiding us through the rapids like we were the pros! If you want to laugh and have a great time check them out!
Totally worth the goose bumps!
Don’t forget to tip your guides!
Fun rapids and great guide. Thanks Mike from PA.
Had an awesome time on their over night rafting trip. Great guides, great gear, great food and great views.
Excellent rafting trip- Brown’s Canyon express. The guides were excellent. Safety first, great training and preparation for all ages. The staff was fun and river was awesome. Beautiful experience. Hats off to Alex, our guide. She was terrific.
AVA’s guides make all the difference in the world. I went on the full-day Numbers/Narrows trip. Our guide, Collin, had over 11 years experience and was practically born on a boat. He was able to navigate us rocky, narrow areas with a minimal amount of paddling where we saw rafts from other companies getting stuck. I had complete confidence in him, which is saying a lot, as I haven’t white-water rafted in 25 years. Also note, if comparing companies, that wetsuits and splash jackets are included in AVA’s price at no additional charge.
My adult nephews also went zip-lining with AVA and again loved their guides.
Awesome experience, awesome staff and great Hank as a guide. Will do it again
My wife and I went on the full day rafting trip out of Granite with some friends. We had an absolute blast. The attention to detail is very apparent with this guiding company. Our guide was Colin. He was awesome! Very skilled on the raft, very knowledgeable of the history of the area, and had lots of good tips for things to do in the area. He made us laugh the whole trip and continuously exceeded expectations the whole trip. We were served a hot meal for lunch, cooked by the guides that was awesome. We’ll definitely be rafting again with AVA.
Our family had a wonderful time at AVA! James and Ben were great guides on the zip line and were very entertaining as well. Kept us laughing and having fun the whole time! Hunter did an amazing job guiding us through Brown’s Canyon. All the staff was very friendly and helpful! Great memories made!
Amazing guide company, highly recommended!! Crook was a great guide, knowledgeable and fun! We did the Brown’s Canyon trip with a nine year old and it was his favorite thing out of an action packed week-long vacation in Colorado. This company has lots of parking and facilities for changing clothes, a crowd of 42 was easily accommodated on the day we were there. Thanks for the great day AVA!!
On our day raft trip, our guide (Lucas?) was fantastic, even with a raft full of first-time rafters he got us through the entire trip without hardly a bump against any rocks or obstacles; He had us feeling like pros! It was a real pleasure to spend our day on the river with him.
I would also like to give a shout out to the rest of the staff as they were all wonderful.
There are many rafting companies to choose from; I would highly recommend AVA!
We took the waterfall horseback riding tour and had a fantastic time! Our guide was great and would definitely recommend.
Best place for rafting and all your great adventures in Colorado.
Our guide was fantastic. He made sure everyone in our group had a great experience. I would definitely raft with AVA again.
Had a great time rafting the numbers with these guys! The water was very cold, but they give you wetsuits and splash jackets so we actually weren’t as cold as we thought we’d be. The water level was pretty low when we went so the river was much more technical than the massive waves we’re used to in West Virginia, but we still really enjoyed it. I wouldn’t say there were many opportunities to fall out or flip over even in the class VI sections. If you do the full day numbers tour, just be aware that the second half is much taimer than the first – we enjoyed the first half much more. Would love to come back and do the class V bit.
Awesome experience rafting the Numbers Section of the Arkansas River. Flow was a little low that day, but the guide did a good job of positioning the boat for some harder lines. I think they did a great job with safety too. They were very thorough with their instructions and procedures and when one of our members fell out, the guide got him back into the boat quickly and still managed to give us paddling directions. Additionally, the AVA headquarters was nice and clean with changing areas and bathrooms.
We were looking for something fun to do while on vacation in Breckenridge during the off season and came across Ava R&Z. They had an opening for a twilight Zipline tour and we booked it. We had 2 amazing guide’s Mikey and Kate and had allot of fun Zip lining into the dark. Beautiful canyon views and weather we couldn’t ask for anything more.
This place know rafting. What a great experience. I did a half day tour which took about 4 hours. This river adventure was heading down class 3 & class 4 rapids. A meal was prepared by the guides as well. This was so much fun that I will do a all day trip next time and maybe even an overnight trip as well in the future.
Chris made our adventure both exciting and safe. His knowage of the river was on the expert level. I most highly recommend this business as everyone was kind and caring with our special needs son. You will be surprised!
Amazing experience!!!
Rafted Brown Canyon today, guide was Lily. She was really chill and made it fun. The trip down the river was both calming and challenging in a good way, cold, and pretty organized for the most part. Only complaint I would have is allowing us all to put wet suits on in smaller groups at a time if there is a large group. We had to wait a long time for 2 people before putting wetsuits on and then again before leaving. Didn’t mind that much, but would have made sense if we could have started getting ready a bit quicker. Other than that, appreciated how every guide cared about the safety of everyone.
Chris Baer was an awesome guide. We stayed in one of the cabins onsite – very clean and comfortable. We took the Numbers trip and loved every second of it! Lunch was great!! We will definitely be back.
Great rafting experience on the Pine/Numbers day trip. They are really fantastically located so you only have to ride five minutes to put in and 15 after you take out. Our guide Chris was great and super knowledgeable about the river. I would highly recommend them!
Such a great place. Guide Jozi Campbell did a great job both on the river and the zip lines. Love this place and if I went back I’d ask for Jozi again.
(Translated by Google) I loved the experience and I plan to return, the guides are very friendly
(Original)
Me encantó la experiencia y pienso regresar, los guías son muy amables
Went for memorial weekend and had a blast zip lining and white water rafting.
Great trip and our guide, Sparkles was amazing. She was very knowledgeable and made my group feel very comfortable and confident for the whole trip.
Best time of our 2 week Colorado trip. Great guide(Skunk) and lots of fun.
Friendly. Good guides. Numbers is a fun set of rapids
Zach Hubbard was an awesome guide!! He was very personable and most importantly was an expert at getting us down the river! I had an amazing time and would definitely recommend for anyone in the area.
Staff was very helpful and they cook some really good fajitas on the fly mid-trip! If you visit them, ask for Jozi for a guide.
Second time going with this company and I’ll be back sooner than later. Jared was our guide on the half day Numbers run! He made the experience that much more enjoyable! All the staff is very helpful and encouraging. Thanks for a great day!
Bad ass for sure!!! Worth the money! Make sure you take a private raft 9ft long only and way more intense!!! Malcom the guide was on it. Really gets you involved
End of April, My friend and I had a girls weekend for her 40th Birthday! We went rafting and zipline, IT WAS AWESOME! AVA Staff were pleasant, knowledgeable and made us feel safe while having fun! We spend the whole day with the staff, ate a hot lunch. “Sprinkles” & “Shunk” taught us a lot about rafting and about Brown Bear Canyon. Very knowledgeable about the area and history. I can’t wait to take my family once our youngest is old enough! Thanks for a fun trip! –Amy from Nebraska
A great time. Very well organized. Lots of fun. Our guide Jonathan was awesome.
Fantastic trip. Little cold, little late starting, but our guide made it worth it. “accidentally” went down number 7 rapid backwards and it was one of the highlights of the trip. That night saw all the raft guides chillin at FIBArk. Kewl krew for sure.
Staff was friendly and professional. We had a large group, some of who didn’t like heights, and our guides, Anthony, Moona, Sebastian, and Sam, did a great job making us feel comfortable. Zip lining was a blast, and I would definitely recommend AVA.
Great day rafting through Brown’s Canyon. Our guide Zeb was wonderful – clear instructions and nice information about the area. We had so much fun we seriously contemplated trying to fit in another day of rafting during our 5 day vacation.
The staff here are great and vibe really well with the clients. Professional and on time, I will use them every time I’m in the area.
Excellent experience and our guide Lily did an excellent job of guiding us through Browns Canyon!
Great rafting tour! Avery was our guide and she is amazing!!! She knows every rock in that river and will ensure your tour is perfect!
True professionals who have a good time and really enjoy their “work.” My so and I rolled in last minute, no reservations. Initially all guided white water rafting trips were filled up. (They only do guided trips.) They checked, and sure enough they had two openings. Arrived 11:45 am, on a 12:30 pm trip down the Numbers on the Arkansas River. What a blast!
Awesome staff, would go rafting again
Took my family and a couple of my kids’ friends on the Browns Canyon trip today. Weather was not the best but hardly any boats on the water. Our guide, Shawn Daws, was amazing. He kept everyone entertained for 3 straight hours… on the bus to the start…on the water… and returning on the bus. My kids keep talking about him. He filled us in on some great history and knowledge of the park along the way. Anyone would be wise to request him. Thanks for an amazing day, Shawn!!! Jay, Lynn, Drew, Macy, Cam, and Britt.
We took the rafting trip through the Brown Canyon and had an awesome time. Even though this was our first whitewater rafting trip we felt very safe due to our guide Cameron. We can’t wait to come back.
Fantastic. Did zip line and rafting, incredibly fun and polite staff, very professional operation. The overnight rafting trip was the coolest camping trip I’ve ever been on.
Great guide (Nic) and fun trip in Brown Canyon Class 3 rapids. Great company and team!
Best rafting and ziplining in Colorado!
So much fun, and this joke is for our guide Brett: “How do you drown a hipster?” A:”Throw them in the mainstream.”
My group and I had a great experience with our rafting adventure and camping at AVA. Everyone we encountered was super hospitable and friendly. Our raft guide, Caleb (aka sassy beard), was great! The other half of our group rafted with Skunk who they said they really liked. We also got to spend some time talking with Nicho who was super knowledgeable about the area and all questions we had about AVA.
I would highly recommend AVA and I will be back for my next rafting or zip lining adventure.
Website full of helpful info. Nice range of adventures. We rappelled down to the Arkansas River & ran the Gauntlet: Pine Creek & The Numbers. Fish, our knowledgeable & fun guide, made sure we were prepared to take on the rowdy rapids before & during the run. Awesome thrills, serene moments, and delish fajita lunch & cold Coors to wrap our day. Wear a swimsuit, synthetic (workout) tank/T-shirt, and lightweight running shorts so you dry quickly after peeling off your wetsuit. Bring your GoPro & strap it into your helmet – you will want the footage!
The zip lining was great. the guides at the zip line were top notch! Unfortunately, the rafting was another story. We waited and waited for over 1.5 hours for our rafting to start and nobody was very forthcoming as to when we would start even though we were already running more than 1hr plus behind . .. So, I give the zip lining a 5/5 stars, and the rafting part, I really cannot rate other than to explain the problems we had b/c we had to leave as we were running 1.5 hours late and were going to miss our next appt if we stayed. Hope this is the exception rather than the norm . . .
A couple of hours after we had to cancel we received a very nice call from them apologizing and explaining that the Denver water authority had stopped water from into the river so that was the reason for the delay. Good customer service in them calling us back.
Awesome!! We took our 2 daughters (11 and 7) for their first rafting experience on the Upper Colorado trip from Kremmling. We had some wind and rain in the early part of the trip, but our guide Lynn was fantastic and it ended up being everyone’s favorite part of our Colorado vacation. We’ll definitely be back!
We signed up for the Zip lining and Numbers package in Buena Vista. Highly recommend AVA and their guides, Nico, Alex, Joey, and Jake. They were awesome on the zip line course. Their attitudes were superb and kept us laughing. By the 2nd line they were calling us by our first name. The course was great. It wasn’t your standard zip line where you zip from towers. You were actually zipping from a mountain. Views were amazing. After a great lunch we went out rafting with Jozie as our guide. She was excellent as well. The river was low which made it technical but also very fun. She worked hard while keeping a great attitude and really knew how to navigate. This day was the highlight of our trip and a shout out to the guides for making it more fun! Sign up with AVA and with these guides and you won’t be disappointed.
Our guides were AMAZING. Thanks Adrian, Kate, and Anthony.
It was a fun family activity!! Will definitely come back during the peak season to have a different experience at the rapids!
Lynn was an awesome guide, the rafting was great and the scenery was spectacular! The class 2 rapids are small, easy and fun and made for a relaxing trip. Go if you’re out there!
Safe, friendly and fun!
Took my daughter on an overnight trip ( advanced) with AVA. What a great time! AVA and crew we’re absolutely fantastic. Fantastic meals on the river, tents were in good condition, and the supplied sleep pads were great. Would recommend AVA, and I have travelled and used many guided adventure trips over the years,, and these guys performed. I would consider doing a week long trip with AVA, if offered.
Amazing scenery, great guides, great river
Great time rafting. They were very organized and communicated well before and during our event. We’ll come back next year.
My wife and I signed up for the Browns Canyon Rafting and Zip-Line package. Our rafting guide (Matt) was very knowledgeable and professional, it was all around a great experience and his quick witted humor also added to the fun. During the Zip-Line portion our instructors (Sam & Ericka) were also very knowledgeable and professional, their outgoing personalities and quick wit also made the experience very enjoyable. We highly recommend AVA and will definitely book with them again when we return to visit the BV area. Thanks for a great time!
We went on a zipline tour and loved every moment of it. The guides were friendly and funny, our whole group had fun. There are 6 (or 7? I forgot) inter-connected ziplines, each one is different. We got to jump from platforms, ramps, rocks, tree branches, etc. Awesome stuff! The only thing that wasn’t good was the photos their ‘pro photographer’ took: blurry and out of focus. I could have done better with my phone! So just bring your phone and take your own photos (and save $35!)
We went here as part of my brother’s bachelor party. Most of us were first-time rafters and we opted for a level 4. It was probably the right choice, but part of me wishes I’d gone for the next level up. If you’re a confident swimmer and know how to use a paddle, you’d be perfectly fine with level 4.
We signed on with AVA after another rafting company basically cancelled on us for that date, and very happy we did. We had a great experience with the trip, the guide, and the office staff. Plus it was less pricy than the original tour company. I would recommend this company and the Arkansas River rafting experience to my friends.
We did buy a picture, but I was a little disappointed with the one-location picture opportunity from the company, and was glad to have brought a rugged waterproof camera option so I could take additional pictures of my own.
Got a WWR & Zipline with camping package. Got there to check in for the rafting in the AM. Fed us fresh food on the river, guide Josie was awesome & relaxed with the beginners. Fed us the best steak dinner (included) when we got back to camp, next AM when ziplining. Great hideout. Love the valley. Definitely doing level 5 waters next!
Seriously, guys, the staff was so great here.
We had a bit of a mix up with my niece’s reservation, but they took care of everything. Informative and helpful and really friendly.
The rafting trip was great for my crew of little ones. Challenging enough that we had to pull together, and low level enough (class III) that my 10yo was able to contribute. He and our guide quipped back and forth the whole trip, too. (Thanks, Alex)
We chose to camp, but my wife is not super outdoorsy, so it was a nice easy-access tent site with beautiful views. Bring warm clothes, though 😉
Are you still reading? Book your trip already!
My husband and I went zip lining and white water rafting for our anniversary. This was one of the best experiences of our life. Our guides were amazing. They even provides a hot lunch between adventures. Everything about this trip was perfect!
A good introduction to Via Ferratas for those who haven’t done one before. The staff was friendly too. However, compared to similar courses in other locations, it was too small for my tastes. Most of the time was spent on ziplines rather than one the side of a cliff where I wanted to be.
The guides really do all that they can to make this a great experience
Had a wonderful afternoon with Dillon as our guide on Sept. 10th. The river was, thankfully, higher than we expected at this time of year. The class 3’s were fun – wanted more! We were fortunate to see an eagle fly down to grab a fish right in front of us- unfortunately, he missed, but it was an amazing sight. Dillon was conversational and educational- wonderful guide. The scenery was breathtaking. Will do this again with AVA for sure! They were extremely organized and efficient.
Good tours
This place is AMAZING!!!! When you visit AVA Rafting & Zipline, you’d be hard pressed to find a better time! They have ziplines, Via Ferrata, and Whitewater Rafting, and you just can’t find a better time! Don’t miss out!!!!!!
Most knowledgeable guides/instructors on the Arkansas River
AMAZINGGG expirence!!! We had a group of 6 who had never ziplined or white water rafted and they exceeded all expectations. Preston was our raft guide and made the whole ecpirence a blast. We already discussed that we will be back to do a higher level route. This is the place to be if you want a day filled with fun and amazing scenery 😊
We started our vacation ziplining! This was an amazing experience and the guides and staff at AVA were awe-mazing! Anthony was our lead he was very knowledgeable, safety conscience, and was made for the position he is in!! Emily was the other amazing guide! She treated us with so much kindness and added much humor on our 2.5 hour tour. Many thanks to Miranda taking over 66 photos that we will always cherish!! Highly recommend this company and group of people. Thank you!! 💓⛰️
Mattie and Emily were great. Emily went half way down the zip line to help someone who accidentally got stopped. Great service!
Great guides. Very friendly and solid service. Warm towels right after getting back.
We did zip lining on a Wednesday and rafting on a Friday. Overall all of the AVA staff was awesome and were very patient with all of our questions. Very helpful in making sure we were prepared for both trips. We had Adrian and Marty as our guides for the zip lining and they did an awesome job teaching us while showing off the beautiful scenery around. For rafting we had Chris as our raft captain and guide, the trip was an absolute blast! Scenery was great and for as crazy as the white water rafting may look Chris navigated us through the level 5 rapids like we knew what we were doing. Had an excellent time and appreciated the hospitality for the fajita lunch. AVA is highly recommended from us, we will be back when the CFS are ripping!
Loved this experience, highly recommend & excellent guides
Was awesome best rafting in the state best guides hands down the best price,and experience!
SO AWESOME!! Adrian and Cam are some the best guides this side of the Pecos! Incredibly professional, fun, and funny. They put the zip in lining!! I’m so asking for them again when I come back!
Can’t wait for the rafting trip tomorrow.
OK. Alex G. our river guide showed us quite a time! She is totally awesome just like Can & Adrian. I mean the guys set the bar high, and “G” sailed right over it with wit, comedy, and coolness. I recommend you request these guides and tip them well when you do. They are great guides, but even better people.
Enjoy your adventure with AVA!
Love this place. We did the rock climbing and repelling with David. He was amazing!! We did the ziplining with Mike and David. They are the best. These two made the trip even better. We did the rafting and had an amazing time. Everything was great. We really felt like everyone cared about making our trip a great one. Thank you everyone and we would absolutely recommend this place. Ask for David or Mike.
Had an awesome time! Brought my son who is 16 and two nieces 11 and 12. Avery was our guide who was very experienced and alleviated any fears my nieces had.
Zipline lots of fun! Staff were great, friendly and were extra safe. Thanks Jill and Nico!
Great Experience. My family did the whole day raft through the canyon. The guide Hank and guide in training Tyler were great. The lunch was good as well.
Kids had a blast! Staff went above and beyond to ensure they had a great experience. Thank you!
AVA Rafting was awesome. Guides know the river, very professional, but know how to have fun. Great experience from top to bottom.
We did the zipline and overnight rafting package and everything was awesome! All the guides were stellar and any worries we had about choosing the right company to book our trip with absolutely vanished! Can’t say enough about AVA!
I went on a work trip to the Buena Vista outpost and did the full day Brown’s Canyon rafting trip. It was the best team building activity ever! Our guide Jared was top notch, he made us feel like we knew what we were doing, even though we definitely didn’t! We flipped our raft in one rapid but everyone made it out of the river safely and felt prepared for self-rescue and rescuing others. The river was raging, 3700 cfs, it was super fun! Highly recommend!
Avery was a awesome guide. Not only did she ensure we knew what we were doing, she provided us with information about the surrounding area and scenery.
AVA’s white water rafting tours are amazing! We did “the numbers” on the Arkansas river and our boat instructor, Chris B. was phenomenal! I couldn’t recommend a better company to experience Colorado with! Everyone on the staff was so incredibly nice and welcoming – highly, highly recommend! Will be returning in the future!
Great trip great guides
Amazing trip with family. Class 2, 3, and 4 rapids. Jared was an amazing guide. You will get soaked but it is an exhilarating experience. highly recommend AVA!
A big shout out to Avery, Jared, Brandon, and Kelly! Y’all are awesome!
Did two days of activities with AVA, a full day raft and a full day with via Ferrata and rock climbing. Both outings were awesome!!!
Rafting guide was Behr and he was great. We had 4 with two 16 yr olds and he made sure we knew what to do and had a great time. Behr was even nice enough to loan us jackets when we stopped for lunch as water was cold and it was a chilly day. Highly recommend this trip.
Via Ferrata was so fun and challenging. Guides were Shawn and Patrick and both were outstanding. Gave great direction to newbies and made sure our whole group had fun.
We were lucky enough to have Shawn as our guide again for rock climbing. We were new and he taught us everything we needed to know, knots, belay and how to climb. He tailored it to our group and even had fun with us challenging my 16 yr old son! Can’t say enough positive things about Shawn and our experience.
Highly recommend AVA, for any trip. They had great guides and trip options and were professional through the entire experience. Don’t miss out on a great chance for adventure!!!
I took a group of 32 women on a Colorado Adventure Retreat. We first hiked 7 miles up a mountain, then went on the 1/2 day rafting adventure (level 3). It was perfect in every way. I had women between the ages of 13 and 65, and every single one loved it. Each of our guides were knowledgeable and fun. WE WILL BE BACK!
Nico and Cam made our zipline adventure a blast! Incredible!
Great time and the guides were great at easing our anxiety!! We zip lined and rafted for the 1st time
Awesome time!
We had a group of 7 doing the Numbers trip with AVA, and they were fantastic. Jared was our guide and he was exceptional. We went on this trip as part of a bachelor party and he made our time special and memorable. We definitely want to come back and hope we are blessed to have Jared again – he had us laughing the entire time.
We had a wonderful trip with a great group of guides who made the trip extremely fun. Would highly recommend this company to anyone.
Great trip! The Arkansas River and the Canyon were beautiful. Had high water and a great guide Shawn D.that keep us on top of all the rapids. Good signal calling kept us on track though the holes and kept us all in the boat. A trip to remember always.
We did the Narrows Trip and had an amazing time! Our guide Bear was fun, knowledgeable and guided us down safely! We will return for The Numbers.
Kirk was an amazing guide who kept us laughing and feeing safe the whole time. A great first rafting experience.
Joey was awesome highly recommend this group
We had a great time and our Captain was the best!
The guides/leaders for both rafting and ziplining are incredible: expert in what they do, interesting, funny, reassuring. We had Avery for rafting and Caleb and Aslynn (sp?) for ziplining. The rafting is exhilarating. A well run operation. Highly recommend staying in one of their cabins overnight and having dinner there too.
The guides were amazing! Super fun! We did the over night and enjoyed the food and views! The rafting was a blast!
Joey was our guide for our white water trip. He was a wonderful guide giving us a fun and informative float. Jill and Emily assisted us on the zip line, great work ladies! All staff were upbeat and helpful. We made an excellent choice choosing this company.
It was fun and exciting and great stories from the raft guides
It was definitely the best adventure we’ve ever had, thanks Colin and all the great staff.
Great group of folks who run this place. Went for a 1/2 day trip in Browns Canyon and our guide Shawn Daws was awesome. Understood the group desires and made it a ton of fun. The river was running fast. Had a great time. Keep up the good work.
I wanted a good white water rafting experience as I’ve never done real rafting before. (Adventure parks don’t really count). I read some reviews and decided I’d like to go fairly deep into Colorado, more so than the general areas I’m familiar with. The AVA website was very easy to use and figure out what I was looking for. I called them to get a little more info and they were extremely helpful and pleasant on the phone. We chose Numbers and had an absolute blast. It was probably one of the most fun adventurous things I’ve done in several years. I would do it again in a heartbeat and I’d recommend this company for anyone.
I read some of the bad reviews and it seems that there may have been some miscommunication previously with some people.
Something to keep in mind while booking a trip:
They can/will change planning depending on water conditions/levels because they have to for safety purposes.
Overall we had a great trip and would love to do it again. 5/5.
great team very safe
We had a great time!!! Our guide, Neil, was amazing! He was very experienced and made us feel so secure, and he had a great sense of humor! We had a blast!!
I highly recommend ziplining with Shawn and Kelly in Buena Vista! The entire experience was enjoyable, and I felt 100% comfortable that I was in good hands.
My wife and two boys (10-12) were traveling to Colorado from Wisconsin in July ‘19. We tried to do a lot of research before traveling. All of the zip-line websites promised similar adventures at various prices. We did not know who to choose. We decided on AVA Rafting and Zipline. We are so happy with our choice. Our first attempt to zip-line in AVA Idaho Springs had to be cancelled due to lightning in the area. The staff was so friendly, apologetic, and offered many helpful suggestions. Since we were not going to be in the area the next day, we were able to use our initial payment to go on the zip-lines at AVA Buena Vista Mountaintop Zipline instead. Shawn and Nico were our guides. Both guides made us feel safe with their attention to details, welcomed with conversation and entertained with jokes. Great company, good people, I would highly recommend.
Shawn and Nico were awesome zipline guides! They made sure we enjoyed ourselves.
Zack was a skilled rafting guide, he was funny and we definitely had a great time
No showers on site, but there are bathrooms
Great guides, fun zip lines that aren’t too scary. Last year we had Niko and Anthony and this year we have Devin and Emily.
We thoroughly enjoyed both guides, both years and they even helped our 80 year old grandma complete the zip line course.
AVA Rafting was a pleasure from start to finish! From the warm greeting we got checking in to the friendly and patient folks helping us get our gear on. Baily at the front desk took extra special time with my daughter who was feeling nervous about the whole experience, and this led to a relaxed and encouraging adventure. Our guide Nic was super encouraging, fun, and really taught the whole family, from ages 11, 15, 17, and up.
We went on a 1/2 day rafting trip, at Class 3, which is a great beginner/intermediate range. We always felt safe, watched, and encouraged.
We highly recommend AVA Rafting and Zipline for one in the Breckenridge/Frisco area of Colorado. For those with differently abled family members, Nic and AVA will always find a way to make it work.
My family had a great time zip lining while in Colorado up around Buena Vista. We were very impressed with our awesome guides Shawn and Brandon and the course was great. They really made it a fun, awesome and safe experience. Thanks again guys! Really enjoyed it!
Full-Day down the Arkansas River, through Browns Canyon.
Thanks to our very talented and very patient guide, Nic,…and the velocity of the River this season, we had an amazing experience. Nic was very reassuring even when facing what us newbies saw as challenging conditions. Made all the difference.
We highly recommend this trip and this company. They see to everything. The lunch was great, the equipment well suited to the conditions, and their emphasis on safety is very reassuring.
Pricey but worth it. They take care of you and make sure you have a good time. Just sit back and relax while they take care of things. I wish we spent more time on the river because it was so much fun!
Rafting was great with Kirk, and we had really fun and entertaining guides, Niko and Chip, for ziplining.
We booked online and I ended up booking the wrong date. We found this out unfortunately after we drove 1.5 hours to get there. They were super cool about it and squeezed us in. They could have sent us packing, but didn’t. The staff was professional, serious about safety, yet made it exciting and fun. I highly recommend.
We did a 2 day adventure with AVA. We loved every minute of our trip and our guides. Day 1 was rafting with Jared. Amazing guide. He has been rafting for many years and his experience clearly shows. We did Brown’s Canyon and I would recommend that for first timers or people with kids who have never rafted. Day 2 was Zip and via Ferrata. As much as I love to Zip, I would recommend the via Ferrata over it. You can Zip anywhere. We have done it in Hawaii and Germany. The via Ferrata was so different and so fun. Our guides were Adrian and Patrick. I would highly recommend them. If you go Rock Climbing I would request Patrick.
I enjoyed AVA so much. It is such a great company and the guides there were awesome. I did the full day white water rafting tour and the full day via farad-a aerial adventure tour. Our guides were Jared, Adrian, and Patrick. All of them were amazing and made the trips so much more fun.
Really cool !! We have been in five different places rafting, this is the best place for rafting I highly recommended
I have been on many rivers; we did the Brown Canyon trip with AVA last week. The trip itself was spectacular, as scenic as any I have been on. Chris Baer was our guide and he was full of local knowledge and stories. My two teenagers had a great time for hours without having a phone on them and the two ten year old twins in the boat squealed and giggled the whole time. It was joyous. However, the juiciest the water got was 3 class at a couple points; since we were in an 8 person boat, it was mostly a float trip rather than a true white water experience. Great for the family – if you want fear and danger, do Brown Canyon in a one person duckie.
Or even better, do the Gore Canyon trip. That will scare you.
Loved the personal attention with only two rafts on the 3/4 day Browns Canyon trip. Our guides were informative and fun (we had family in both rafts, so I know they were both great). The river was full of fun rapids – our best whitewater rafting trip yet!
Loved the 1/2 day raft trip down the Arkansas River through Brown’s Canyon. Our guide, “Goose”, was fantastic! Not only was he highly skilled at navigating the river, he provided great commentary and some good laughs. Looking forward to returning for the 3/4 or full-day trip. Highly recommend this outing!
Awesome trip down the Arkansas river! Some great rapids and our guide Preston was funny and kept us safe and comfortable!
Guides where Shaun and jake… best guides around!!! Had an amazing time
The guide was amazing! We got Avery and she killed it. The Numbers had some awesome class 3 and 4 rapids.
My family and I went zip lining and had a lot of fun. Our guides Shawn and Brandon were great and were very funny. We had a fantastic time and would definitely recommend.
Brandon and Shawn were awesome, very cool and funny dudes, one of the big things I took away from them is safety. They took safety for my family very seriously which allowed us to have a good time.
AVA is a great company with courteous and helpful staff. The booking process was seamless even though we booked same day. We went zip lining at the Granite Outpost in Buena Vista. The guides Emily and Kelly were awesome. They kept it fun but also made sure we were safe. My daughters (8 and 10) loved the experience and never felt intimidated or scared. The zip lines are built right into the natural landscape instead of the typical platforms built along the highway. Beautiful views and thrilling rides. Highly recommended.
Great experience overall, and I would recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Our guides Shawn and Adrian were helpful and funny.
Had a great day with Colin, Joey and Jen as our guides. We did the Brown’s Canyon Sizzler full day trip which is much better than half day! Highly recommend this outfit!
Shawn and Adrian are awesome guides! Super friendly and professional! 5 stars.
My family and I (7 individuals) did the Via Ferrata excursion with Brandon and Shawn. They were hilarious- sooo many bad jokes that the jokes did become funny. They were laid back enough for us not to be nervous yet great instructors. Would recommend to anyone who likes an adventure! The free fall wasn’t open yet for the public- but looks like it would be fun!
Jared was AWESOME! Super smart dude.
Our guides were well educated on usage of equipment, totally showed us how to use everything and be safe. The runs were awesome going through trees and to rocks, etc. Highly recommend it.
Great experience for the whole family!
We went on a rafting trip down the Arkansas river yesterday with AVA rafting company. Shawn Daws was our guide for the day. We have been on other white water trips and I must say that we had the best time!! Shawn was a delight. Very knowledgeable. He made sure everyone on the raft had a great time! So glad we got him as our guide! Thank you for a memorable trip. 🙂
Larry Laux & Richard Wenske
The staff was excellent and I would recommend to people looking for a adventurous place to play. My guiders especially we’re very funny and kind. There names were Brandon and Shawn. They deserve a raise!
Skywalker was the best guide. A true pro and a great guy. Loved the experience. Would come back and do it all again in a heartbeat. Thank you!
All of our guides were AMAZING. Everyone spent an appropriate amount of time setting expectations and explaining our responsibilities. They addressed our concerns and were flexible and made “tweaks” necessary to accommodate our needs.
Jarrod – allayed our initial jitters getting over that cliff when rappelling. Told great stories about the area and what type of wildlife we might see.
Zach – knew every drop, rock and roll of the Arkansas river. Felt so comfortable heading down Pine Creek and Numbers because of his clear explanations and scenario building.
Emily and Shawn – a great team of zip line guides. Emily connected with us by remembering every detail we told her. Shawn entertained us with humor and flair.
Everyone covered safety, safety, safety, and encouraged us to have FUN!
We will be back!!!
Our group did the Via Ferrata/Zipline tour. Shawn and Brandon were AMAZING! They made the entire experience super fun! I am afraid of heights but they both really value safety and keep you comfortable and having fun the entire time! I definitely recommend the team at Ava Rafting 10/10. Don’t forget to look down!!
Incredible trip. Even though I am afraid of heights, the guides Shawn and Brandon made it safe and fun. They rocked. Thank you!! A must for a good rush.
AVA is outstanding. This was our second trip rafting trip with them in the past couple of years, and they don’t disappoint. Our guide (Jared, I think) was totally awesome and took good care of us on the Numbers. We will be back for more next time we visit Colorado. Pro-tip: Old sneakers work best for rafting shoes. Don’t be one of the people who show up in flip-flops!
Went on the numbers & narrows white water rafting trip. Crook was our guide and it was a great time.
I went for an unwanted swim in the Arkansas but ultimately that just added to the experience.
They provide food at the end of the trip. Definitely recommend AVA!
We took our three kids 8, 10, 12 to go zip lining and white water rafting. They enjoyed the zip love and LOVED the white water rafting class 3. It was flowing at about 660 cu ft/sec and was perfect for our family. Our guide Shawn Daws was funny, experienced and made the trip smoothly. Will definitely go rafting again.
We found out about AVA here on Google and came to Colorado on a 4 day trip from Florida and choose the half day rock-climbing and pm rafting package. Consider us newbies who aren’t even familiar with the elevation, nonetheless all the awesome activities provided by AVA. I must say I was extremely impressed with all the customer service provided by the entire team! Wow they all work so well together and seem like family. Safety is their number one priority and they are so great at explaining all the safety precautions to a newbie like me, that I felt prepared and confident for each activity. Shoutout to Shawn Adrian, one of the best tour guides AVA has! We joined him in our rock climbing adventure and he was so great at explaining all the details of safe belaying and then finding the best spots to climb, also talking us through tough spots and giving a gentle push when you want to give up, really helping us make it to the top and feel proud! Thank you so much Shawn for being awesome! You are clearly very experienced and so great with people, you made us laugh and made the experience so fun! AVA is a great company and I recommend it to anyone.
We had a blast on the via ferrata! Adrian, Shawn, and Brandon were excellent guides and a ton of fun.
AVA Rafting and Zipline was the best choice we could have made for our whitewater rafting trip. The guides were amazing!! They did a great job with instructions before and during the trip. The company has trips available for any level of adventure you’d be looking for, and for a variety of lengths. Thanks for a great trip!!!
Great guides
AVA IS BAE I CAN’T WAIT FOR NEXT YEAR
Awesome raft guides!
Guide did a good job. Did the browns canyon express and had a blast.
Awesome day with AVA – Brandon and Preston were great!
Highly recommended
We had a wonderful experience at AVA Rafting. We rafted the Arkansas in a small raft with just the 2 of us and our guide. We had whitewater rafted before and the experience was much more exciting than our previous experiences. The river was beautiful and the ride was thrilling. I would highly recommend this company and this trip.
Love this company. Devo is a great guide. Our family had him 2x and always fun. Our kids enjoyed the river rafting even our youngest who was 6.
Didn’t see the turn until too late great place tho ask for skunk
The whole experience was wonderful. They had plenty of gear to offer, including optional wetsuits and jackets, as well as required helmets and PFDs. The guides were all very informative and answered all of our questions prior to heading down to the put in spot. Our guide was Chris Baer, who with 19 years of experience as a raft guide, was EXCEPTIONAL. We knew we were in great hands with Chris, who guided us expertly through the rapids. Even my 58 year old mother felt safe and had a great time (she was pretty nervous). He was full of tidbits about the Arkansas River Valley and had so many great stories to tell of his experiences. I could not recommend this company enough, would love to do this again!
Had a great time doing the all day rafting trip here! We went through a few class 4 rapids and felt prepared even though for most it was our first experience with whitewater rafting. Will likely be coming back with another group based on my experience today
Always amazing come here every year
Kirk was such an amazing guide.
Really knew what he was doing and was such a treat to have his personality open up the group.
My fiance and I will definitely be back to hit the rougher waters in the near future.
Thanks again Kirk for helping me enjoy my first time on the rapids. We will see you again soon!
This place was great! Joey was our guide and did an outstanding job with a touch of humor with his favorite “geriatric” population! I look forward to our next visit! 👍❤
We liked rafting with AVA very much. The best part was our awesome guide, who we couldn’t leave a tip for. He was very good, he made the rafting trip more entertaining. While we were trying very hard to figure out which one of the instructors was ours, they hopped on the bus and left. We think his name might have been Despain. As advice for the future, maybe make it easier to differentiate between people without their gear on. 🤔 The fact that we didn’t leave a tip poisoned the rest of our trip.
Amazing new experience
Amazing experience, the guides were knowledgeable and kind. Would seriously recommend, but DO NOT attempt a skill level above 3 if you’re a beginner
Had a great day – exploring Brown’s Canyon on our first rafting experience. Durham was amazing – his humor, friendliness, and professionalism made the entire experience top notch! Can’t wait to come back and ride again.
Did the browns canyon over night stay with my two boys (8 and 11) with Lilly as our guide. By far the best experience you could ask for. Lilly got us through the rock labyrinth that the Arkansas river is without even a hiccup. Kirk was the guide on the other group that camped with us, super cool dude as well. “Skunk” was maning the gear boat, lemme just say your stuff is in great hands, was awesome to see him drive that raft packed full of gear by himself made it look so easy. The teamwork and coordination of those 3 made camp a place we never wanted to leave. Don’t forget to add the ziplining, that was amazing!
Great rafting trip. Matt was our guide and a very good job. This was our second trip with them and I would certainly recommend them. Staff is experienced and very relaxed. Take the 3/4 day trip if you have the time. You’ll be hard pressed to find better scenery.
Took a raft trip down Browns Canyon on 7/14/2020. Alex Staal was our guide. What an awesome guide! He was very knowledgeable and informative. The trip was fun and beautiful! Great job, Alex and AVA Rafting!
Great guided tour! Can’t wait to hang out with them again!
We did the overnight raft trip and we loved it! The river was running at a perfect flow. Our guide, Lily was very friendly and took the time to educate us on safety and how to work together on the raft. We camped at a nice spot on the riverbank. The other guides all worked together to prepare dinner which was steak and potatoes with veggies. We pitched tents and hung out with the others on the trip till time to sleep. Morning was eggs and bacon with coffee. They did all the work loading the rafts. You’re only responsible for setting up your tent. Over all it was a lot of fun!
Everyone was very nice and helpful. The tour was awesome our guide Alex made the whole thing thank you so much and we will be back.
Great Outfit. Loved our guide and all the guides. Worked together efficiently to insure everyone’s safety. Fun Place.
We did the Via Ferrata experience, if you like new adventures this is a must do. Guides where great. We had a wonderful time
Twilight Zipline at Buena Vista is only 4 zip lines, rather than 6, but costs the same price. This was not stated anywhere online or on our email confirmation. We called the next day and they gave us a partial refund, without any hassle. Only bad part about the customer service is that I had to wait on hold for 20 minutes on the phone before speaking to a representative.
Besides being disappointed that the adventure was cut shorter than expected, we had a blast. Breathtaking views and our guides, Matt and Joey, were nice and funny. We felt very safe and our kids loved it. You do have to stand close to everyone on some of the platforms, so it would have been nice if they were stricter on everyone wearing masks properly. Also, be prepared to hike uphill a little to get to the platforms and cross some bridges.
Fun activities. Always ensuring safety in all activities. Enjoyed rafting and Via feratia( sp?) at both locations.
Awesome experience with Alex G as our guide
Best place to go Rafting in Colorado, bar none.
We had a great time! We did the water rafting and Shaun was awesome!!! I would definitely comeback.
Absolutely amazing staff. I had such a great time. They are so nice, and funny, and engaging. They have really good pricing. They provided lunch, as well as all the equipment needed. I participated in the rafting. They did a very good job giving a tutorial on how to row and be safe. Our guide, joey, was an absolute joy to have. He even provided us with some sunscreen when we realized we didnt bring any. Got to see many beautiful sights along the river and i had a great time. All of the clothes in their gift shop were very high quality and are extremely comfortable. I cant reccomend them enough. Do yourself a favor and go check them out.
First time rafting and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide or trip! Definitely looking forward to going again!
My friends and I did the rafting & zip-lining combo. Our guides Sean, Hannah, & Corbin were fantastic. Very friendly and knowledgeable staff. Highly recommended.
What a great experience! Joining AVA Rafting was pleasant from the beginning. Easy reservation process, clear communication and instructions. Our guide, Fish, was very knowledgeable and personable. My family and I felt safe and had lots of fun! We recommend AVA Rafting & Zipline to all!
I’d book again. Wonderful day of great memories.
Excellent! Our guides Hanna and Patrick were great and a lot of fun. Highly recommend AVA!
My friend and I went on the zip line tour Saturday, June 23, 2012. It was a fantastic trip and to my satisfaction, the guides were very safety conscious. Shaun and Maggie were our guides and they made the trip fun, safe and informative. I was very happy and would highly recommend AVA’s zip line.
We did the intermediate 1/2 day rafting course and had so much fun. My husband and I both got tossed out of the boat on one of the first rapids, which our guide said was common for that rapid, and both the guide and the driver were very helpful getting us out of the water and back on the raft.
I dont remember our guide’s name but he was great, he was very clear in his instructions and was fun to be with. JJ was our driver and he was fun too.
Our trip was a little shorter than in the description but was still definitely worth it and we still had a lot of fun.
Went on the intermediate rafting, had a great time!
We (family of four) booked our trip a week and a half in advance. The staff was friendly and helpful on the phone. Early booking allowed us time to complete the liability waivers in advance. I strongly recommend that you do this. It saves a lot of time so you can get started with your rafting experience.
This was our first time rafting and we were in great hands. Ivan, our guide, was professional and really helped us to have the best experience possible. We all did our parts and stayed “in” the raft. The bbq lunch was wonderful and a great chance to dry off before taking off again. I recommend that you turn your water pullover inside out to dry it while you eat. I flipped ours to dry the insides and then turned them right side out to dry the outsides too. I definitely think this made putting it back on after lunch more enjoyable. -It was pretty chilly yet on June 19. We wore water shoes but wish we had worn water socks, as mentioned before, the water was really cold. At one point I couldn’t tell if my foot was numb from the cold or from sticking it under the support on the raft to leverage myself. Looking back it was fun either way. The socks will be an addition the next time my family goes and yes, we will definitely do it again! Thank you AVA!
I cannot say enough to enough people about how much fun my wife and I had. We were first timers and opted for the intermediate rafting trip. The AVA place was packed but they did a great job of getting you where you needed to be (if you cannot follow simple instructions then you shouldn’t be rafting/zip lining/climbing/etc anyways). They provided all the gear needed and took us to the launch. They gave quick and direct instruction and ensured everyone was comfortable; even my wife who was about terrified before we got on the water. Then we got on the water, our guide was knowledgeable about the area and interacted with us between rapids. I cannot wait to go back; they hooked someone for life!
We had an amazing time! The guides were great and fun. I will certainly be going back for more!!!
Expensive but worth it! So much fun. 🙂
Great guides and an excellent river trip! Highly recommend AVA for white water rafting not to far away from Denver.
AVA hosted our corporate event with 3/4 day rafting & lunch for 30 people. Great reservation staff that was very helpful for us as this was our first time, amazing experienced rafting guides who were a lot of fun and knowledgeable, and a delicious catered BBQ lunch! Clear Creek is a prime river for rafting for all skills. Our entire group had so much fun and at a reasonable cost!
I hope to have to opportunity to go back and take the family!
My sisters, I, and my 69 year Gma, had a blast! We did the zip lining and the beginners course for rafting. Everything was fantastic and all 3 of our guides (Maddie, Justin, Shiloh) were fantastic!
Lindsey was our Guide and she was awesome! When the zombie apocalypse happens I am planning on driving up to Idaho springs so she can guide my group through all of the dangerous territories. She knows the river better than anyone and will be able to keep us away from roaming hordes of walkers. Plus she will be able to navigate our group through the area without flipping the raft so that we don’t get surrounded by herds of the undead and eaten alive! One of the greatest things though is that she knows the best hiding places on the river so we can ambush other survivors to replenish our food and gear.
Ziplining was an awesome experience. Very safety conscious, double cables and double pulleys. Guides made it fun also but zipping down was awesome. Multiple ziplines to work your way down the mountain. Going again soon.
AVA’s rafting trip was the highlight of our vacation. They were easy to book with and a lot of fun for the rafting. I look forward to going back.
Loved this place! We had Hunter for a rafting guide. He made it A BLAST! would highly recommend this place and would come back rafting if in the area ♡
We came from Wisconsin and LOVED our experience! We had Hunter as a guide he did a awesome job!
We had a great time during a rafting trip with our company. The guides were fun to work with and did a good job keeping everyone comfortable, entertained, and safe. BONUS – they also have a cool zip line course here.
Super fun time but be prepared to get soaked if you are in the front.
Loved it we had nah highly recommend using himS your rafting guide
Absolutely a blast. Our guides, Jaccie and Cory are unmatchable in their fun but professional skill. They were attentive to every detail of safety which allowed us to totally experience the big thrill of zipping. This is on our “go to” list for our family and friends, and definitely a way to give our out of town guests a taste of Colorado. Thank you!
first time rafting,highly recommended, very professional staff, very safe, and fun, our guide Kurt very friendly and makes you feel safe
Our family of 5 had a great experience! Aaron our raft guide did an excellent job!! We would definitely highly recommend AVA!!!
Best time ever! Our river guide Parker was amazing😃 Thank you!!!
Great experience, the company did a great job! Our guide could have done a better job of explaining terminology but after that, it was great.
Lucas was our guide through our first trip. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience, beautiful, fun, and all the staff were knowledgable and helpful. Attitudes were great and Lucas brought his A game, couldn’t be happier with the trip and will without question be going with AVA again!
We had a great time, I’ve done rafting in Costa Rica, and floating rivers in Texas, but this was a WONDERFUL experience!!!! The scenery along Clear Creek is awesome. We did the 1/3 day tour which was really nice, perfect amount of time, glad we didn’t do 1/2 or full day tour, we would’ve been exhausted!!!! Our guide Landon was AWESOME!!! Will def be going again next time I’m in Colorado!!!!
First time doing this, totally worth it.
Excellent tour guides and great routes

Great experience for my daughter and I. She is 13 and we did a 1/2 day (couple hours). The staff and equipment were top notch. Next time we would go for a shorter and more aggressive ride if we get another opportunity when she is older. Our guide Frank was great !
Good fun getting tossed around a raging river. Took a rock on the hip and it caused me to flip up into and under the water level, took a slamon or somethin’ slimmy to the face then flipped back up on to air. Never will I experience this again, the doctor certainly doesn’t recommend it either but whatever! Good fun.
Great place. Had lot of fun. We were the only once or only raft that fell into the rapid (thanks to our excellent group coordination in rowing/paddling..lol) but thanks to our instructor, we were all pulled back into the raft safe and mostly in hurt.
Couldn’t ask for a better experience. Tony and the other guides are very professional, and they make sure everyone has a great time. Totally worth the drive, and I’d do it again in a heartbeat.
Amazing! Incredible course – thrilling, beautiful, challenging. Our guides were Travis and Tony who put us at ease with their great sense of humor and made it an experience we will never forget!
We had a great time zip lining with AVA in Idaho Springs! Our guides were very helpful and walked us through all of the necessary steps at each line. Our group was 11 people and the experience lasted 3 hours. No restrooms or water when you’re out on the course. Would recommend bringing a water bottle that can be clipped to a belt!
First time rafting and it went perfect, not too soft and not too crazy. Our guide Patrick was fun but always serious and 100% focused on everyone’s safety.
We had an awesome rafting adventure on Clear Creek. Our guide, Kurt did a great job keeping us on course and preparing us for a fun trip. Definitely a must if you are in the Idaho Springs area.
Incredible!! A trip of a lifetime, great water, great experience, great guides and great Time. All 15 of us loved it!!
I had such an amazing time on AVA’s New Via Ferrata! I did not really know what to expect because I have never been on a Via Ferrata Tour before but I absolutely loved it!! If you are looking for a fun and adventurous activity that is physically and mentally challenging, then I highly suggest exploring this new Via Ferrata Tour with AVA Rafting & Zip Line! You will have so much fun!
Great trip! Amazing water and a awesome guide named Forrest. Had my 8 year old son and he also had a blast. I have since recommended to friends and family.
The Lewis Group were very well taken care of today….. My sister and her husband were in town to visit so we booked a 2 hour rafting trip with AVA. The entire experience exceeded our expectations. Caleb was our rafter leader and did an amazing job negotiating through very turbulent waters. He spent a large amount of time to discuss and demonstrate safety and the correct ways for paddling the boat and listening for commands. We never had any tip overs or lose anyone in the water like other rafts. He was cool, fun and the entire experience is one we will have to do again. Thank you so much for the safe and fun trip down the river. Next time lets do more rapids…….. Thanks from Greg, Jayne , Melissa and Kevin.
great time !!!!!
This was my first rafting experience and it was AWESOME! Shawn (our guide) was excellent! He made the trip fun and exciting! I highly recommend AVA and Shawn to anyone who wants a thrill ride. And if you ask nicely, Shawn will tell you about the best taco joint in town too 🙂
Check in was easy with Sean. Our guides, Sean and Jake were friendly and helpful. Jake was our personal guide with 4 boys, ages 7-13 and he did a fantastic job communicating and making it fun. We look forward to another trip next summer. Great team and nice facility. 🙂
Went down the Clear Creek Gold Rush with Samwise. Fantastic time and fantastic staff all around.
Great company awesome tour guides
Great rafting for families and first timers. I was used to a little more intense rapids than this trip but what truly made it great was our guide Hunter. He made the rapids seem far more intense than they were and the first time rafters in the group bragged about it all day. The experience would not have been the same without him, thanks again.
Did the Gold Rush rafting trip. Great for first timers and checking out scenery. Garret was our guide and he was great.
Great fun for a family. The whitewater raft trip was a hit with the kids!
SO MUCH FUN AND SO BEAUTIFUL
We had a BLAST rafting with Caleb as our guide! He was AWESOME and obviously very skilled. We felt totally comfortable and his expertise showed throughout our trip. Beautiful, adventurous and quite the adrenaline rush! I can’t wait to do it again!
Rafting: My family and I had fantastic time on our AVA rafting trip. Our guide, Caleb, went above and beyond in making the adventure unforgettable. He was an absolute professional and made sure we were safe, happy, and enjoying ourselves the whole time! We would love to go back and raft with Caleb and certainly would recommend this trip to a friend.
Via Ferrata: Sunshine and Emily were excellent guides on the Via Ferrata trip. They were incredibly patient and made sure we were safe at all times. My family and I had a fantastic time. We had the opportunity to climb, repel downwards, and zipline on this trip which created a completely unique experience. We would love to do this again and would recommend it to anyone who likes adventure!
I have an awesome time with the guys at rafting and the ladies at Zip-lining very professional team I totally recommend it.
Friendly staff had a blast!
We had a great time ziplinning with AVA. Our guides, Bailey and Kenny, were fantastic. They worked hard to make sure we all had a great time. Bailey even had our 10 year old ride tandem with her to make sure she wasn’t scared. Thanks!
My son, Mitch and I were in good hands on the zipline with Megan & Luke. They explained each line understandably, moved the group along and were entertaining in the process. The check-in crew was very informative and helpful as well. Overall, a great experience!
The via ferrata was a lot of fun. Group size was small. Tour guides Emily and Sunshine were great. Would do it again, definitely if they expand the via ferrata parts.
Rafting trip was amazing! Ken was our guide, and he was great. Kept the trip lively and fun (even though it was a bit chilly!). He is very knowledgeable about the area, rafting, and other tidbits. Would highly recommend!! Can’t wait to book another adventure.
I had a great time came all the way from New Jersey everybody was courteous, friendly and helpful with making my reservations. My guide was funny cool and informative I’m sorry I can’t remember his name. I would definitely recommend AVA Rafting and Zip- line to anybody I had a really good time and can’t wait to come back and do it again.
Had a great first time zip lining! Our guides were excellent and fun!!
Rapids were awesome especially for the river being low. The guides were great and super fun to talk to about things to do and see in the surrounding areas.
Great adventure! Both our zipline guides and rafting guide made for fun trips.
Great experienced staff who put safety first.
Thank you Luke and Katie! I and my bunch of brothers headed to AVA Idaho Springs for the memorial day long weekend. We had so much fun. Especially, Luke and Katie for taking well care of our group with instructions and safety wise. Overall, I had a pleasant experience. Will definitely come down again for rafting, may be I will move up a class IV.
Liam, our rafting guy, was super fun. Thanks!
Thanks, Guys!
Great guides
If you are looking for a fun and unique experience for a group or family, then the Via Ferrata is a ton of fun. Not only do you get a little of everything, zip lining, repelling, and suspended log runs, you also are amazed by the incredible views of the surrounding mountains. A perfect activity for those that want a challenge in a fun safe environment. Via Ferrata started in the Italian Alps and perfect for those that want a fun adventure in a secure environment limited any fall. The experience is breathtaking and a must do on your Colorado Adventure list. Our guides Emily and Bailey were amazing making the trip a real wild adventure.
Lynne and Shawn provided a fun and safe day of rafting.
In summary we loved it!
We did the intermediate class 4 rapid as my husband had never rafted before and was nervous. Our guide was Charlie, who was nuts but absolutely amazing! We had so much fun that we immediately booked for the class 5 trip the next day. That time we had Shaun who was again excellent, and expertly got us through with maximum good times.
The water is cooooold due to the river existing of melted snow from the winter months so you just need to accept that by the end you won’t feel your feet, and probably your hands but this did not deter us from going back.
My advice would be to buy water sports shoes and neoprene socks before going as they were a little overpriced there but not too bad if you forget.
Great experience Matt and Spencer wws awesome, my husband and my first time and they made us feel very comfortable no matter the height… great great great experience
Wife and I really enjoyed our first time rafting. Our guide was Liam and he was awesome! We did the upper clear creek and the water was cold but manageable. The wet suit and splash guards really help. You can purchase photos and have them sent to your phone and/or email. We got two for $35 and will be printing them when we get home. Their outpost at Idaho Springs has plenty of merch and the staff was very helpful. We will be booking another adventure soon!
We checked in and I was impressed with how well organized it was. The vehicle ride to the top of the zip line even had a surprise. A short nature walk after that started the adventure for my wife (68), our 2 adult sons, and myself (68). I was impressed with the safety steps taken without detracting from the fun. The guides were real pros. I was most impressed with how the course was tied into the natural mountainside. There were also fun challenges that made it more than just a zipline course. All in all a great time for us first timers and I would recommend it to anyone.
Brandon and enj by far best people to experience this ride with. Will come again for there service
This was my first whitewater rafting and via ferrata experience. Both were a lot of fun. Bret was a fabulous rafting guide (even had us do a spin maneuver while everyone else just went straight, which was a lot of fun). Sunshine was a great via ferrata guide. Made sure we were all safe and had some good riddles along the climb.
I never doubted my guides and equipment would keep me safe on the ziplines…which really helped me to push past my fear and dare myself to have fun. My husband planned this zipline activity for for our 19th wedding anniversary. I can’t say he doesn’t keep things interesting. 😏
Ziplining Here was a great experience and our Guides Sunshine and Emily were the absolutely greatest Folks to be with.. a wonderful time, even if Somebody is scared by heights. Knowledgable Guides like Sunshine and Emily will, even then, make it a great time Out with them
Hands down, the best place for high adventure near Denver! I’ll first start by saying that I normally don’t rate or write reviews. These folks were amazing. The customer service was top notch, and they genuinely cared about our well-being. Not only knowledgeable, but also safe, clean, and honest. When I come back, I will definitely use these outfitters again. Our river trip got delayed and we missed the zip line appointment afterwards, no problem, they upgraded us to a later time. The guide was well experienced and safety was always a priority from the river to the zip line. Gear was clean, noticeable well worn but that’s to be expected, and functioning as it should. These people only helped me to relax more and enjoy my vacation and well spent dime. They are honest about everything, even if they lose out on business. They also won’t bulls**t you or give you the “ole runaround.” They deserve every star and then some.
this was the first time my wife and I have ever done this kind of adventure it was GREAT we had a wonderful time looking forward to the next chapter in our lives.our tour guides were Fantastic
Called to schedule zip lining in Idaho Springs. I was scheduled for rafting instead. When the error was recognized it was immediately corrected it appropriately and we were put in a zip tour. The staff helping with the error were accommodating and responsive. Mary and Matt were our guides and they were helpful and fun. I would recommend them anytime. We would return for other activities with AVA.
Went rafting with the boys here for a bachelor party. If your near denver go to AVA’S. You want Sam as your guide. He absolutely made our day. Knows what he’s doing, very funny, very professional. Uber’s are tough to get back to your hotel but if you ask, somebody might be getting off work and they’ll gladly take you (for a fee)… Most of them are hard working college kids saving their money. And since you don’t see that alot with this generation it was amazing all the way around. Big shout out to Sam. Great job buddy.
So much fun!!!!!!!!!!! We did the 1/2 Day Upper Clear Creek trip. It can get a bit rough and there is a potential of flipping over and falling into the chilly 40 degree water… we did. But the crew was fast to act and ensure we all made it back to our raft safely. This was quite the adventure!
So much fun! This was the first time i had ever been white water rafting and i will be coming back. We had a very large group (80 of us from work) not only was the staff helpful and knowledgeable they were great at getting the entire team down the rapids safely. Great job to the AVA rafting team that guided our giant group down the river. Thanks for making this trip amazing!
Great experience! Our guide Chris was awesome.
Great time for the entire family. We took our 6 and 9 year olds rafting and were so impressed with AVA. Well organized, friendly staff, good gear. Miles was our guide and he did a fantastic job of giving instructions and fun facts about the area. If you are searching for a guide service, stop now and book with AVA.
This was by far the best rafting experience i’ve ever had. The guide (Bret) was very good, knowledgeable, helpful and funny. He made sure that we had a great time.
We had a great time. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. Our guide, Brett was the best. He was very friendly and even gave us some history of sites on the way down the river. Seemed like he really enjoys his job, as did the other employees.
Lynn was the BEST raft guide! Our raft trip was amazing! She kept us informed and entertained!
People who work there, love their jobs and it shows. Had a great time
Awesome! Water was a little low in late June but still a great rafting trip! Liam and Sam were terrific!
Fun, cool experience. Guides very good.
Such an awesome time rafting! Great guide!
Our bachelorette party had an absolute blast on the zip line course. Huge thanks to Tony for making our trip memorable!
The starlight ziplining tour was awesome! I would consider looking up a clear night before booking if you’re interested in ziplining under the stars. Our tour guides, Emily and Sunshine, were very sweet and patient with both the children and my boyfriend, who has a tad fear of heights! We would definitely go on another tour with AVA again!
Well run facility . Worth the trip!! First time zipline and rafting .
Awesome time with the best guides!
I did not raft but the pictures looked amazing! Young adults enjoyed it. Right off the interstate…very convenient and easy to get to. Got to visit the hot springs while the kids rafted.
Our family (traveled with teens) thoroughly enjoyed our Upper Clear Creek adventure in Idaho Springs!! The rafting and ziplining were awesome and our guides were fabulous!!! Liam was our rafting guide and Lizzie & Juju were the ziplining guides…they were great!!!
The raft went as we thought it would. Ask for Brett, he did a great job as our guide.
We had a Great Time.. we’ll be back!?
Mary is an amazing zipline guide, we had a blast!
Fun experience, friendly staff
Highly recommend full day. 8 yr old, 6 yr old, 4 yr old. Guides Hanna and Mark were awesome and excellent with the kids. If you are looking for a fun adventure for your family I highly recommend. Very professional and first class crew! Can’t wait to come back.
Emily and MJ were awesome guides on the Idaho Springs zip line course! Lots of variety and options. Thanks for a fun filled morning.
This was my first time rafting and I gotta say it was incredible! Caleb was our instructor/book of knowledge who not only knew some cool stuff along the Arkansas River but additionally was very patient and did a terrific job. I would recommend Caleb and AVA to anyone who might be in the area or wanting to travel to Colorado.
first time ziplining, it was a great experience. the guides were terrific, helpful and safety minded. thank you for making our trip to Colorado a fond memory.
Had a blast . went on a vacation and this was one of the highlights . Emjay and Katie were great / PATIENT instructors and made this a great experience . the view is amazing and you feel safe thank you
We showed up with the intention of rafting but after we booked and paid they said we were ziplining. The stream was too low to raft so they had suspended rafting for a time and only ziplining was available so we stayed and did that. It was a lot of fun and the guides were very entertaining.
The customer service from start to finish was fantastic. Everyone if friendly & accomidating.
Our rafting guide Wasp was great. He worked really hard & kept us all in the boat. The water was a little more shallow than desired & required a lot of work on his part. Thanks Wasp! You were awesome!
Our zipline guides were Erica & Sam. They were funny, knowledgeable & pure awesomeness! Thanks for an awesome adventure!
Btw potential customers, Don’t forget to tip your guide!!
So much fun! Amazing experience.
Great experience thanks Shaun!!
Expensive but totally worth it
Sunshine and Swani were AMAZING!!!!!! We zip lined and we had a group of five they explained everything very well and you could tell they love what they are doing. We will definitely be back!
Everything from beginning to end was really fun.
First time in Colorado with my son to visit my old high school friend. She wanted to give us an adventure and we sure got one. Thanks to Swami for seeing the joy in my eye 😐 going on that zip line course! He made it an experience we won’t soon forget. Haha. Thank you for the awesome day! I plan to come back to do some rafting. Tandem style. I hope. 🤣
Great staff! They took very good care of my family who were first timers.
So much fun! Tim and Jake were awesome instructors! Thank you so much
Tony and Kurt were our zipline guides. Kept us laughing and kept us safe! Great experience!
Awesome experience!
This experience is a must!
Ava Rafting & Zipline in Idaho Springs, Co is one of the best experiences ever. I’ve Ziplined before in South Korea and in Dominican Republic but neither compares to the experience with Spencer & Emily. There are surprise optional courses you can take and it’s adventurous, daring and everything in between. Spencer and Emily are all vibes: positive, encouraging and kind! Special thanks to Spencer!! Thank you for walking the ropes with me! If you find yourself in Colorado, this adventure is so worth it! 🙌
My kids had never been on a Zipline so I went online and found this place. Went to book it online but not same day booking so I made the call and set it up. We arrived about and hour early. Setting in the original gold Rush town we awaited our turn to suite up and zip.
Onece we check in, signed all the waivers we met our guides. Spencer and Jacob. We geared up and jumped in the back of the truck. (no worries, seat belts provided). We drove through the little town of Idaho spring and up some to the launch point. It was a 100 yard walk to the first launch point where they went through all of the directions, hand signals and saftey instructions. Of coarse when it was time to go, my kids made me go first.
Between the ziplines were crazy bridges, serious mountain trails and even a tight rope (cable) to walk on. At one of the stations you had the option to ziplines, or walk this small cabled board bridge, well half of a bridge and jump straight down….which we all did.
Great time, great guides!
Great time rafting the lower canyon of Clear Creek today. The staff, hospitality and equipment were all TOP NOTCH. The guides were extremely knowledgeable and prepared us for an exciting and safe trip.
Good, friendly, funny guides. Thanks Simon and Charlie! Had a great time on the water!
Great experience. Our river guide Will was great. Our zipline guides MJ and Jacob were great.
Had a good time zipping on their lines and floating down the river on their rafts. EmJ is a wicked good zip line guide. Troy made the float more entertaining for sure.
Great rafting fun helpful and friendly staff
Did the White Water Rafting Trip Today… Fantastic Day. The Outfit was Professional, Well Organized. Our Guide Corbin was a Great Guide !! But All Other worked well from what I saw as well. Corbin’s made it Alot of Fun !! But We Also had a Great Team on Raft. The Outfit seemed Much More Concerned with their Guest and their Safety, Not So Much as the Other Outfits on the water same time as us. I am going back tomorrow for the Zip Linning!! Thank You AVA for the Great Experience!! Freddie Santiago
**Update** So we came back the next day to do the zipline since the lightening ended it the first day. Although Im not a fan (too chicken), my family LOVED it. Our guides Mary and Emily really took care of us. Emily could see the look on my face and carried me through and made this a very memorable time for us all. Also, many of the whitewater guides from the previous day recognized us and greeted us. That’s customer service at its finest. When we come back to Colorado, we will, for sure, be stopping in at AVA!
Our family had such an amazing time today. We tried to zip but mother nature had other plans. AVA was super easy to work with, and we were able to rebook for tomorrow. Our guides for that, Hannah and Dillon were awesome. We were able to complete our white water trip with Will on Clear Creek, which has been the highlight of our vacation so far. They suited us up and fully prepared us for this magnificent adventure. We also met some really cool people that rafted with us. They only bad part is when it came to an end. I secretly wished we “accidentally” passed up our take out, but no such luck. Will, thanks for being an outstanding guide!
Was fun, I’ll come again
Awesome! Awesome! Awesome! We had a great guide in Chris and did the 1/2 day upper clear creek which was more than enough for a cold 55 degree morning. We will be coming back and try the longer trips that offer!
The Via Ferratta was awesome!!! Emily and Spencer were the best guides! We loved their humor and professionalism! We would do it again and highly recommend the Via Ferratta and Emily and Spencer!!!
My sisters and I did the Via Ferrata mountaineering course, and we had a great experience with Emily and Spencer! They were funny and encouraging, and clearly very experienced! They were also very accommodating and flexible when my sister discovered her fear of heights mid adventure, and let her Zipline around instead of the planned course. Would recommend!
This was the second year we used the AVA rafting for an excursion. This time the river was up, and we had 2 boats. It was so much fun. The pictures we bought were amazing. -The cost for the pictures they took , $60 plus was not….
They did spend more time this year on safety since the river was fast and high ,which we appreciated. The cost of the trip included a wet suit. We did need the suit since the temperature at the end of June was in the 50’s….
We will use them again.
Great company ,great guides, just be ready to spend a lot for their pictures.
Our guides EmJ & Alec we’re awesome! They were fun, entertaining and kept us safe! Great fun because if our guides!!
We had an awesome experience. The views, different lines, and the amount of time spent made this a very memorable experience. Our guides, Alec and JuJu, were very good with their words of encouragement, regional facts and stories, and their great jokes! They made our experience an exceptional one. Thanks!
Bucket list item checked off. Was an amazing experience and I am pretty much of a scaredy-cat. JuJu and Alex were the best!
What a rush! Great ride and Lindsey was one of the best guides that we’ve ever had. Highly recommend. PS: there are 7 of us on that raft. 😊😊😊
One of the best rafting places in Colorado. Guides here are so friendly and adventures with them is so much fun.
We took a group of six rafting and had the BEST experience. Our guide’s name was Lucas and he made sure that we had a great time. We did level four and had 4 teens and 2 parents. It was a thrilling experience, but none of us ever felt unsafe. The water was freezing cold, but we wore wet suits and splash shirts that kept us from being miserable. The only thing that caught us by surprise is that we could not wear any cotton including our socks (apparently cotton steals your body heat when it gets wet) so we had to wear tennis shoes without socks. Overall, it was an unbelievable experience, we loved Lucas, and we would totally do it again.
Alec and Emily are great guides. Our zip line trip was about 90 minutes and so much fun. They were able to accomodate my ten year old and a 30 year olds mom. I wont guess her age. So much fun and I highly recommend zipping with them.
Ericka was a fantastic guide today on the gold Rush rafting trip. Great info about the scenery and very encouraging. Loved the experience!
This is an amazing adventure! Great views, perfect rapids for beginners and excellent guides, especially Chuck. Chuck is experienced, knowledgeable, fun and has great jokes! He made our experience extra special!!
Very nice Rapids for price. A couple things to note-
Firstly, your guides are paid by trip they take, NOT HOURLY which means please tip them. We had Charlie(I think he went by chuck too, please forgive me if I got that wrong) and he was OUTSTANDING. Please tip them!
Secondly, if you are super super experienced with Rapids this may be acceptable at best. My family and i have done the New River in Virginia and this was a step down. Level 4 Rapids are more like a 3 here to us. That being said, it was still a welcome challenge and we had a blast. There was a couple good drops that had me second guessing my balance!
Finally, show up on time! If I could rate the other people that rafted I would. We had a group that showed up late and we had to wait. The staff were apologetic and made it clear that we were going to leave without them if they dont come.
All in all this was a fantastic experience. Staff were hilarious and helpful. Our guide was incredibly skilled and we never felt like we were out of control at any time. He knew how to avoid overwhelming obstacles and made sure we had a fun time.
For all families out there, there is a kid friendly option. We went on the Upper Clear Creek, I am not too sure of the option for kids.
Highly, HIGHLY reccomend!
My bachelorette party had a great time ziplining and our guides were fun but professional, made us feel safe and educated on the whole journey.
Overall the entire experience was a good one! We had Lyndsay as our guide and she is a total beast! Extremely experienced, funny, out-going, and very personable. She made us all feel safe, and pushed us hard (WHICH WE LOVED) because she was legit trying to make sure we had the best (and safest) experience.
While the company is 5 stars, I would give the actual rafting 3 stars. We had all rafted before so we chose an advanced trip and were hoping for a really challenging and stomach dropping experience, but unfortunately this canyon just isn’t as great (at this time of year at least) as the others i’ve rafted. AVA has to work with what they’ve got, which they do well, but in the future i’ll have to go to one of their other locations for hopefully a more challenging experience.
Word of advice: if you’re coming from Denver on a weekend, give yourself a lot of cushion time to get here. I’m from Denver and we gave ourselves what would usually be plenty of time to get there, but the traffic was SO bad on 70 going into the mountains. Luckily we made it just in time for the grace period, and the staff was awesome, but it was a super close call.
Overall, would definitely recommend this company as it seems like they value their employees, which is extremely important to me. Make sure to TIP YOUR GUIDES!!!
My family and I went zip lining and white water rafting. It was amazing. Our zip guides were Hannah and Swami. So nice, fun, professional, and sweet. Erika was our rafting guide and we all had so much fun. She steered us away from the dangerous obstacles and made sure we were safe. All and all I want to go again and again. Thanks AVA!
Place is top notch. I did the 3/4 day rafting. All instructors were awesome. Beautiful scenery, exciting, taff organized, friendly, knowledgeable and works hard to make sure you have a good time. Would recommend in a heartbeat and will be back!
Great experience! Fun guides!
Kids loved it
Did the Outer Limits 3/4 day. Great scenery. Well organized. Fast moving class IV+. You will get wet.
We went with Taz white water rafting, hit some class 3’s. Absolutely loved rafting with him. He was enthusiastic, funny and he made the trip awesome. I’ve gone rafting several times and this was my best run.
One of our party fell out after a rapid and he maneuvered the raft and got the kid out fast. I don’t think he was in there for more than a minute. Totally calm, professional and fast. We will absolutely be going back.
Did Via Ferrata at Idaho Springs location and it was great. Went with three other people who were very hesitant to get on the mountain; it was easy for them and we all had fun!
SWARMI & MARY ARE THE BEST
SWARMY AND MARY ARE SO FIRE
Ya zip lining was hella fire 🔥
I’m also just posting so their parents know they’re working
Our guide Devin was awesome. He was very informative and provided a great rafting trip. We will definitely go here again.
Great place great guides. SHOUT OUT TO Emj and Mary. Made to feel super comfortable and helped in every way you needed it
Connor was an amazing guide today. I had a blast! I will definitely visit you again and refer friends.
Great place! Very organized! Brett was a fantastic guide!!
Jacob and Alec were fantastic! 👍👍👍
What a wonderful trip. We had 15 in our group. Zip line and rafting. We had kids age 13 to 62, we all felt like kids today. So much fun. The zip line was a mix of bridges and zip lines. Great coarse! Thank you Jacob and Clair. You took care of the kids and us older folks. This was a family memory we will never forget. The photos were amazing, shots right out of field and stream magazine. I definitely recommend getting the photos.
Short drive from Denver and really fun!!!
Rafting was great. The water was very high, and everybody had a blast.
We had a large group (18 people), and they had no trouble accommodating us. One of our party was recovering from a broken ankle (wearing a brace, not a cast), and they were very accommodating. Our guides went out of their way to make sure the injured person was safe and having fun.
Wow our guide hunter was amazing rafing made fun
Awesome trip. Samwise was an excellent guide!
MJ and Tessa were our ziplining guides and were awesome, helping us navigate all the lines and keeping us focused on having fun. Sam Wise was our rafting guide, and you could tell he really knew what he was doing. He turned us into a rafting team and helped us tame the rapids. I’ve done ziplining a few times, but this was my first rafting experience; can’t wait to do it again!
The Via Ferrata was AMAZING thanks to our guides. Alec, Spencer, Emily, and Dylan were knowledgeable, helpful, and funny. Highly recommend!
What a blast! Huge props to Emj and Mary!!
Had a blast ziplining! Mary and Dillon were great, and made it fun for all.
I went there with my friends and it was really fun. We were guides by Clara Kennedy for rafting. She was so cool, fun and professional.
We were 5 of us for rafting and luckily we got the most cool and friendly guide: Clara Kennedy. This place is definitely worth a visit and if you are lucky to have her as a guide then you’re gonna have a very good time.
This was our first time and it was amazing. Mary and Dillon were great.
Great trip for families! My 6 year old daughter loved the Clear Creek rafting!
Rafting was an absolute BLAST here. We took the 3/4 day ride and enjoyed every bit of it. Our guide, Simon, was terrific all the way through, staying upbeat and engaging. He definitely made the ride even better. Overall, highly recommended!
Went rafting on 8/16/19 with Simon and he was rhe best! Im a “fluffy guy” and fell in the water on the 50/50 part and he calmly pulled me in, amazing job! He was just so chill and in control. He made the experience a memorable one!
Reasonably priced. Very organized. Great guides. Fun time
Thanks for the ride Corbin, you were a great guide. It was myself and my 10 yet old twins. We had a blast. Corbin allowed us to name our raft, SS Shaniqua( how they came up with that, I’ll never know) can’t wait to come back amd ride again. You ROCK Corbin!
