A Dvorak experience means meeting your expectations and creating a lifetime memory you will want to repeat with friends and family. Dvorak’s is family-owned & operated since 1979. Dvorak Expeditions offers a wide range of Colorado whitewater rafting trips on the Arkansas, Colorado, Dolores, Gunnison, North Platte, Rio Grande, and San Miguel rivers ranging from half-day to multi-day excursions.
Dvorak’s river guests return ratio is 65%+ every season. Our adventure specialists are here for you from planning to celebrating your trip after you return home. Our guides do make the difference and will make the best, safe, fun, and professional experience for you and your group. We try to keep our guest to guide ratio (1×4) for most trips.

What our Adventurers say about us
10/10
We used Dvorak to shuttle our vehicle for a personal rafting trip. It made the trip much easier and probably saved us over an hour of driving. They even put the sun visor up in my windshield when parking the vehicle, which was very considerate! Would absolutely use this service again. Thanks for helping us have a fantastic day on the Ark!

Fun times on the water!
We had a great day with Antonio. He was fun to chat with and handled the raft with ease. It was our first time rafting and browns canyon is I believe a class 3 or 4 so there were some gnarly sections but that made it so much more enjoyable. I’m glad they talked us into this trip instead of the easier one we originally booked. They also accommodated us being the only two booked for the 1 time slot which we really appreciated as we drove from Denver for the day. We will be back!!!

Fantastic Overnight Trip
We did the overnight Arkansas River Trip. Andres and Gracie our guides were awesome. They cooked great meals, set up our campsite and gave interesting facts about the surroundings during our trip. They took care of us 100% and did their absolute best to make sure we had a great trip. We also booked horseback riding and a zipline tour with Dvorak. Dvorak also booked our sleeping arrangements. Every aspect of Dvorak was awesome. I can't think of 1 negative thing to say. We are going to do the exact same trip again.

Dvorak Expeditions is the Best
Dvorak Expeditions is the first licensed outfitter in the State of Colorado and it shows in the quality of its operations. it you don't want to be one of a hundred other participants with some of the larger whitewater rafting companies, I highly recommend the personal attention that Dvorak Expeditions offers. The Dvorak guides are very experienced and highly trained. You will not find a better rafting company than Dvorak Expeditions.

Guides Make The Difference
When it comes to a whitewater river trip, the guides are the difference. Dvorak Expeditions has some of the best! We rafted The Numbers section one day and two days later the Browns Canyon section and were super impressed with the continuous and interesting rapids along with spectacular Colorado canyon scenery, especially in Browns Canyon National Monument. Thank you Bill Dvorak for your tireless work to get Browns Canyon its National Monument status. Great legacy!
