Since 1973, Arkansas River Tours has offered exceptional rafting adventures on the Arkansas, Gunnison Gorge, Dolores River and the Rio Chama in New Mexico. The Arkansas River, the most popular river in America, provides a variety of rafting experiences ranging from 1/4 day trips to multi-day trips, easy whitewater for family adventures to challenging extreme adventures in Class IV+ white water. Three unique canyons, Bighorn Canyon, Brown's Canyon and the Royal Gorge provide whitewater rafting trips for the timid beginner to the seasoned veteran. Join us for a multi-day wilderness experience on the Gunnison River below the Black Canyon National Park noted for its exceptional fly-fishing. Explore the stunning Southwest canyons of New Mexico on the Rio Chama. Improve your photography on our Gunnison Gorge workshop with John Fielder, Colorado's most renowned nature photographer. Listen to the music of the "Zen Cowboy", Chuck Pyle, around a campfire on the Rio Chama. Form a group of your favorite women and join the talented ART women guides for a "women-only" adventure on any of our rivers. Get the boys together and we will design a custom father-son trip for your family or scout group. Learn to fly fish for trout on one of our instructional programs. Gain new insights about your coworkers on a customized corporate team-building river trip. The possibilities are endless on an Arkansas River Tours river adventure! We invite your family and friends to join us for a trip full of memories that will last a lifetime.
