Rio Buffalo Outfitter 10039 Arkansas 74, Jasper, AR 72641

"Had a really great first time on the Buffalo River!! Kara, Grace, and Daniel, just by interaction, were service-minded and seemed passionate about their roles, even on a busy Saturday during peak float season. The reservation was quick and easy to get on the water. 10/10 would recommend them! Bless"

"Rio Buffalo was the perfect company to rent our tandem kayak from. They allowed us to show up within a window in the morning which allowed us to avoid early rain in the day. I had asked a bunch of questions before choosing them and they were super responsive and helpful… more so than some other outfitters in the area. Can’t say enough good things and would choose them again when I return"

"Our group had an amazing trip down the river with Rio Buffalo Outfitters! Everyone that we dealt with from check in to helping us get our kayaks out of the river was extremely helpful and kind. Not only did Kara and Jeff give us excellent advice on getting down the river, but they also helped us shuttle our cars to the drop in and take out spots to make the whole process super easy! I can't recommend RBO enough, it was an overall 10/10 experience!!"

"Rio Buffalo is the BEST! Thank you for taking care of us and giving us some pointers on side hikes. There are some great spots to check out, we really enjoyed our experience with Rio Buffalo Outfitters. We will definitely be back!!"

"I don't give many reviews, but I have to give 5 stars to Jeff and Kara Mae at Rio Buffalo Outfitters for the great service they provided. I went with a BIG group to paddle the Buffalo River in May—we needed canoes, kayaks, and rafts during one of the busiest times on the river. Most outfitters in the area weren't able to provide all of the boats we needed. When I called Rio Buffalo, Jeff said they had everything we needed and more! The canoes they gave us were some of the best on the river and we were able to rent coolers, cup holders, floating koozies, and lightweight paddles from Jeff. They also gave us life jackets and trash bags to keep us safe and the river clean. We met them at the drop-in point and they did all of the legwork putting the boats in the water. We had an incredible day paddling, stopping at the waterfalls, fishing, and swimming in the river. Once we got to the take-out, Rio Buffalo Outfitters was there waiting for us. They had shuttled our cars from the drop-in point to the take-out so that we could just hop in the cars and go! There was no need to wait for a ride back to where we started, and besides pulling the boats out of the river we didn't have to do much else. I would definitely rent from Rio Buffalo again, it was a great experience, and THANK YOU to Jeff and Kara Mae for helping our big group have one of the best days on the river ever!!!"
