“more rapids for your money!”

The Arkansas River is the number one whitewater rafting river in Colorado. Brown's Canyon is the most popular section of the Arkansas River. Acquired Tastes Rafting offers you the longest Brown's Canyon half-day rafting trip with the most rapids and the most time on the water. We take out and camp on private property along the river so we can offer you higher quality ½-, 1-, and 2-day rafting trips at everyday low prices. We give you more rapids for your money! Acquired Tastes invites you to get away from production line rafting and enjoy a smaller, more personal rafting experience on the best whitewater in Colorado. Our guides do only one trip per day so they focus on giving you a higher quality rafting experience rather than rushing back to the office to pick up more customers. The other rafting companies do two Brown's Canyon half-day trips per day with the same boat and the same guide. We give you more rapids and more time on the water. We focus on how much fun we can make your trip rather than on how fast we can get you off the river.We share a private takeout with one other rafting company. They are the only other company to offer the longest Brown's Canyon half-day rafting trip. (If you are staying in the Buena Vista area or driving from Denver or Colorado Springs, our rafting office is 17 miles closer. If you are staying in the Salida area or driving from Canon City or Gunnison, their rafting office is closer. Our rafting office is 22 miles from downtown Salida. Their rafting office is 8 miles from downtown Salida.) All of the other rafting companies do two shorter Brown's Canyon half-day trips per day with the same boat and the same guide.

Rafting is my number 1 water activity. It's so fun and such a thrill. Wish it snowed more this year so the water would be crazier. But will be thankful for what we got and enjoy every second. The... Read more
