Best Day Evet - Best day ever. Adam and Lisa had everything we needed for a family first time on the river. All the gear to make the day comfortable, add the beaitiful river and sunshine you get instant memories. The best part was hearing my son laugh as we crashed through the water. I cannot recommended Monumental Expeditions enough.

Best Experience Ever!!! - This was my second trip with this outfit and I was so happy we came back again! Adam(?) the owner was our guide and he showed my cousins and I such a great time. We were concerned that with just the three of us we would rowing too much to enjoy the ride but Adam explained to us that he was very much in control and we could do as much or as little as we wanted. He is extremely knowledgeable about the river and told us so much about the area. He made sure we really got to experience the best of the rapids and the calm waters and surrounding beauty. Beware of other big outfits that use this river!! They want to pack in as many people as possible and their boats all get mashed together(illegally)and it looks like you're going down the river with a huge mob. Didn't look like fun to me! Our guide made sure to keep us out of that and away from all the craziness so we could get the most out of our experience. Please consider using this outfit, you won't be disappointed!!

Great Trip, Fun Guides! - I've never been rafting but my daughter had it on her bucket list of things she wanted to try. I was concerned about safety but those concerns were unwarranted. The guides at Monumental Expeditions were professional and placed a priority on safety. Not only did I feel safe but the guides made the experience educational and fun! We plan on returning next Summer.

Best raft trip on the Arkansas! - I may have reviewed this one before but it is so great, I felt the need to review it again. This is a wonderful trip. Small company that does a wonderful job of expediting the management of the raft trip and getting you through the canyon safely. Adam is simply the best. When you are going through the canyon and the other rafting companies are floundering all around you, you will be glad you went with Monumental Expeditions!

Small Rafting Company with more years of experience than most big rafting companies - With so many rafting companies to choose from we chose Monumental because we new the guide (also the owner), has 25 years of rafting experience. Can’t imagine anyone else knows the river as well as he does. Plus he’s knowledgeable and fun! With the water running high you want to be safe so call and ask for Adam. You won’t be disappointed! We had a blast and felt very safe!

The BEST whitewater guides! - Adam and Mike were awesome! I’m so glad we booked our adventure with them - the care we received felt so personal, a one on one type of thing yet the skill level of our guide, Mike, was totally evident - you were great Mike. Thank you for an amazing trip!

Beautiful and Exciting!! - Our family thoroughly enjoyed the float. It was perfect for our two kids, ages 8 and 10, and exciting enough for us parents as well. The scenery was beautiful and getting to jump off the little cliff added some extra fun! The guide was super cool and his knowledge of the surrounding area and nature made the trip more interesting. I definitely recommend rafting with these guys if you're looking for someone to get you onto the water!!
