DESCRIPTION
G’day River Adventurer, More than 45 years ago Bill and Jaci Dvorak, started their family owned business. They traveled around the world as teachers and outdoor adventurists taking on the water, mountains, sea, and land, combining this with their service to mankind and children. When they returned to the US in 1978 they followed their goals to maintain their connections with the adventures – conservation – teaching and these passions lead them to the purchase of a whitewater rafting business. Dvorak Expeditions was formed on the back of a social service program, (Partners Inc. 1969), that used rafting to facilitate partnerships with adults and recitative youths. This allowed the Dvorak’s to continue working with youth organizations as well as move into the commercial aspect of outfitting. They began furthering this journey by becoming Colorado’s 1st Licensed Outfitter and building a reputation and recognized as one of the premier whitewater outfitting companies known worldwide
