Trips

The Arkansas River has the best whitewater rafting in Colorado and Acquired Tastes Whitewater Rafting offers you the best rafting value on the Arkansas River.

Acquired Tastes Rafting gives you more rapids for your money!!

On our Brown’s Canyon Bonus Half-Day Trip, we do two more rapids than other rafting companies on the Arkansas River. Other rafting companies raft 10 miles and only do six of the major rapids in Brown’s Canyon on their half-day trips. They miss the last two big rapids, Seidel’s Suckhole and Twin Falls, because they use the public takeout at Hecla Junction. We lease a private takeout so we raft 12 miles and do all eight of the major rapids in Brown’s Canyon plus all of the intermediate rapids and all of the smaller rapids. We include ALL of the rapids in Brown's Canyon and give you the most rapids possible on a half-day trip! No other company gives you more rapids!

On our Brown’s Canyon One-Day Trip, we have a put-in at our office in Johnson Village. This is not only more convenient for our customers but is also more economical for us. Since we do not have to shuttle our customers to a public put-in, we give you a much lower price on a one-day rafting trip.

On our multi-day rafting adventures, we give you the most whitewater possible in a two- or three-day rafting trip. On our deluxe overnighters, we camp on private land in a beautiful, secluded spot adjoining our takeout for our Brown’s Canyon trips. We offer you a better camping experience for less money than companies that carry their camping gear on their rafts and camp on public land in Brown’s Canyon. Rather than taking a one-day trip and stretching it into two days by camping in Brown’s Canyon, we raft all of Brown’s Canyon on the first day of your trip and give you a choice of three other great sections of whitewater for your second and third days of rafting.
