Climbing & Whitewater Rafting & ZIpline packages

Follow up an early morning raft trip down a section of the Arkansas with an afternoon zipline tour or rock climb & rappel! Take a run down one of our Class IV or V stretches of the Ark, change into dry clothes, and head out to face some vertical terrain after lunch; or do it the other way around: zip or climb in the morning and raft in the afternoon. It's a full day of adventure!

Climbing & Rappeling with AVA!

We're surrounded by vertical terrain in the Arkansas Valley, and we want to show you the ropes! We offer rock climbing lessons and rappelling for the beginner or intermediate climber. Our trips are perfect for anyone trying climbing for the first time all the way up to experienced climbers hoping to advance into self-supported excursions. Our guides help you pick up the skills that you need, including the basics of belaying, rappelling, and setting anchors.
