From guided rafting trips and outdoor adventures to wellness experiences and family-friendly activities, our trusted partners help guests discover the best of Buena Vista and the Upper Arkansas River Valley.

For nearly three decades, AVA Rafting & Zipline has been Colorado’s go-to outfitter for whitewater adventure, and the South Main outpost sits directly in front of the hotel. That means you can walk straight from your room to your raft, with no shuttle and no hassle. Spontaneous trip? No problem. Same-day bookings are available, so you can decide to hit the river the morning of and be on the water within minutes. Craving more height than whitewater? Their zipline and Via Ferrata courses are just a quick drive away. Whether you’re chasing whitewater thrills or scaling the canyon walls, your next adventure is never far away.
