Dive into a River Magic Adventure with Dvorak Expeditions:
Your DIY River Extravaganza!

Ahoy, water enthusiasts and thrill-seekers! Are you ready to embark on a splash-tacular journey down Colorado’s majestic rivers? Whether you’re a seasoned paddler or someone who thinks “stern” is just a serious facial expression, Dvorak Expeditions has got you covered. Let’s dive into the wet and wild world of DIY river adventures, with a safety net of professional guidance just a paddle’s length away!

Rent, Paddle, Repeat!

At Dvorak Expeditions, we believe there’s nothing quite like “messin’ about in boats on the river.” Our watersport gear rentals are designed to let you chart your own course down the scenic waterways of Salida, Buena Vista, Nathrop, and surrounding areas. Choose from a fleet of fun-tastic vessels:

  • Paddle Rafts & Fishing Rafts: Perfect for those who want to navigate the rapids or reel in the big one.
  • Mini Rafts: Ideal for intimate groups of 2-6 adventurers or those who prefer their thrills fun sized.
  • Inflatable Kayaks (Singles & Doubles): For the lone wolf or dynamic duos ready to conquer the currents.
  • Float Tubes: Kick back, relax, and let the river do the work as you soak up the sun.
  • Stand-Up Paddle Boards (SUPs): Test your balance and core strength while enjoying a unique perspective of the river.

Rentals are available daily from May – September, so you have ample opportunity to get your feet wet!

Shuttle Up Without the Hassle!

Worried about the logistics of getting your vehicle from point A to point B while you’re floating down point C? Fret not! Our Arkansas River shuttle service ensures that your vehicle (with or without a trailer) is waiting for you at your takeout point. It’s like having a personal chauffeur, minus the tuxedo and awkward small talk.

Not Ready to Captain Your Own Ship? No Problem!

If the thought of navigating the river solo makes you as nervous as a cat in a dog park, we’ve got your back. Our professional guides are ready to lead you on an unforgettable river rafting experience. From the adrenaline-pumping rapids of the Arkansas River to the serene beauty of Browns Canyon National Monument, our guided trips offer a perfect blend of fun, wilderness, wildlife, and all-around fantastic adventure. Daily trips are available from May through September, catering to all experience levels.

Paddle School: Become the Master of Your Vessel

For those looking to fine-tune their paddling prowess, our Whitewater Paddle School offers private instruction from beginner to advanced levels. Available daily on the Arkansas River, our expert instructors will have you navigating the waters with confidence and style.

In Conclusion: Your River Adventure Awaits!

Whether you’re eager to captain your own vessel or prefer to leave the navigation to the pros, Dvorak Expeditions is your go-to destination for river fun in Colorado. With top-notch gear, convenient shuttle services, and experienced guides, we’re here to make your river adventure as exhilarating or as relaxing as you desire.
