I took my friends and family rafting for my college graduation. We had the best time! My mother was very nervous about her first raft trip, yet the guides and staff at WAO were very professional and made her feel very safe. Lunch was phenomenal ! Thanks WAO, I will never raft with another company.

Full Day

Milder in the morning, wilder in the afternoon. This is the perfect beginner full day raft trip. Enjoy the beauty of the "Grand Canyon of the Arkansas". Be sure you bring along a waterproof camera (available in our office) to take advantage of the many photo ops that will present themselves on this trip. Home of Colorado's largest herd of Bighorn Sheep. A stop along the way for our delicious riverside lunch, then you will run several class II & III rapids in the afternoon. A great blend of mild and wild rafting. Your kids will remember this activity on your Colorado vacation for a lifetime!

Half Day

Perfect for the "nervous novice" and families who want to experience a white water raft trip together. Appropriate for nearly anyone. This trip is rated class II & III. This is a pool-drop section of the Arkansas, meaning there are plenty of splashy, fun filled rapids with long sections of relatively calm floating in between. Exciting for adults and absolutely thrilling for the kids. This is also the best section to catch a glimpse of wildlife, including Colorado's largest herd of Bighorn Sheep.

Splash & Dash

The best deal on the river! Check-in at 9:45 AM and return in time for lunch. This is our shortest raft trip, but not a boring one. 5 miles inclusive of several class II & III rapids in Bighorn Canyon. A great experience without breaking the family vacation budget. We run this trip from June 13th to August 15th in 2009. Minimum of 4 people required to book this trip unless already scheduled to launch on any given day.
