About Performance Tours Rafting
Performance Tours Rafting is a long-standing Colorado whitewater outfitter with a rafting base on Gregg Drive in Buena Vista, at the heart of the Arkansas River valley. Running trips for more than three decades, the company operates on multiple stretches of the Arkansas and is known for friendly guides and a straightforward, value-focused approach to getting people on the water.
From its Buena Vista launch point, Performance Tours guides half-day and full-day trips through the family-friendly rapids near town and the bigger whitewater of Browns Canyon, with additional departures on the dramatic Royal Gorge stretch downstream. Trips are offered for every experience level, from gentle scenic floats for first-timers and children to Class IV adventures for those chasing the biggest waves the river has to offer.
Performance Tours has built its reputation on consistency and accessibility, welcoming large groups, families and repeat guests season after season. Its central Buena Vista location, range of river sections and decades of guiding experience make it a reliable pick for visitors who want a classic Arkansas River rafting day without any fuss.
