This zipline aerial adventure near Lake George combines a series of aerial obstacles and an adrenaline-pumping zipline ride for a must-do experience to share with family and friends.
ARO rafting on the Hudson was great! In addition to the best possible weather, ARO was so well organized that even in the Covid era we did not lose a beat. We had the best guide who made our trip fun, adventurous, and entertaining. It was thrilling but we also felt safe the whole time. It was a blast. Thank you for unforgettable day on the river!
– Martina P. | TripadvisorThis was a family day out like no other! The guides outfit everyone with helmets, a paddle and life jackets. They explain everything is simple instructions and answer any questions. It's obvious safety is paramount with ARO! The rapids were great, nothing overwhelming but plenty thrilling! The scenery along the Hudson was awesome. Worth every dollar!
– Matt M. | TripadvisorWhat a fantastic experience! None of us had ever white water rafted prior to going, but it didn't matter. If you have a sense of adventure, you're all set. The guides are professional, knowledgable and funny. Great company- my family had a blast! The Hudson River gorge region is the Adirondacks at their wildest and most beautiful. We plan on going again!
– Rachel M. | TripadvisorThe guides, the stunning vista views, the thrill of the rapids, the ease of the slow runs.. An ARO rafting trip has the perfect recipe for a memorable experience! Our amazing guides turned a less than stellar group of outdoorsmen into a team of determined rafters who even retrieved a wayward rafter. I would love to do this again soon. Highly recommend!
– Kim H. | TripadvisorI just did the black river for the second time this year, the first time was in August. Both times have been a blast! Very knowledgeable, friendly staff with a clear love for the river and the sport. Lots of fun while keeping everyone safe. The snack at the middle is a great energy boost. A great day trip!
