Advanced Royal Gorge Whitewater Rafting Trip

Overview

Royal Gorge whitewater rafting is the ultimate half/full day rafting adventure trip in Colorado. Huge waves, steep technical drops, and almost continuous whitewater rapids in a narrow canyon await you with rapids like Sledgehammer, Wallslammer, the Narrows, Boateater and the infamous Sunshine Falls. The Royal Gorge may demand so much attention you don't even notice the world famous Royal Gorge Bridge 1053 feet above the river. This exhilarating trip is recommended for rafters or adventurers in good physical shape who are ready for aggressive paddling. Our Royal Gorge whitewater rafting trips are our most popular advanced trips! If you are seeking lots of excitement, this trip is for you and your group. Lunch will be served at a stop on the river.

The rafting itself was excellent and our guide was great. The company and everything leading up to it was a slightly disorganized mess. We booked a tour months out and got an email a week before saying we might need to reschedule because there weren’t enough people on our tour. They told us they would call us the day before to let us know for sure. At 4pm the day before our tour I still hadn’t heard from them so I called and was told we did in fact need to move to the much earlier time the next day… not sure when they were planning to tell us that if I hadn’t called? Would we just have showed up at our scheduled time and be turned away? We arrived for the earlier time and the checkin process was disorganized… no one knew what tour they were supposed to be on or which guide they were supposed to be with. While the lady was giving us the very important safety information about what to do in the event we fell out and how to ensure we didn’t get injured… 2 other employees were nearby talking so loudly that we couldn’t hear the *very important* safety information. When we got on the bus, the employees were discussing their plans for the party they were having that night and how much alcohol they had for it… it was all very off putting. Thankfully once we got on the water, the tour itself was great… but the logistics and experience with the staff left a lot to be desired. I would choose a different rafting company in the future. Also, if you want the pictures they take… be prepared to cough up any additional $60… I was floored by the price for photos… I don’t think think even Disneyland charges that.

Fantastic and adventurous afternoon! The outfitters are well organized and our Guide, Sam, was awesome! She did a great job of making sure everyone on the boat was comfortable and confident enough to have a great time!

Kyle and Jesus made our trip an unforgettable experience. I was the adult chaperone with 9 teens and they made us all feel safe while giving us an exhilarating experience on the rapids. I would definitely request these two guides again!
