TESTIMONIALS

"I would give them 10 stars if it was possible!"

by Jesse Roiz on 06/27/2018

My wife and I did the three day Mild to Wild in mid-June this year. Mike Crook and Nic were absolutely amazing. Their extensive knowledge of the Arkansas River made us feel so comfortable tackling Class III all the way to the fast-paced Class V 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 rappelling 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 lifetime 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!
