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.

Worth every penny!!!! Me and my family loved it and we even tried to see if we had enough time to go again. We had Kyle and Hanna as our guides on the two boats. Both were great to hang out with for the day. Even going as far as jumping off the rocks with us and telling tons of good jokes. if you are looking on going on a great tour look no more..THIS TRIP WAS AWSOME...Thank you so much to all the folks at A.R.T.

That day was totally EPIC. We had a blast rippin rapids with da boyyys. Our guide KYLE smoothly went over paddle call-outs/instructions during intro. Totally laid back, cool, and knowledgable throughout the entire experience. Dude kept his cool even when we rotisserie'd during the s-move/turn. Energy was high the entire time and just had a blast. He also tossed in some cool tour-guide facts about the river. Definitely will be coming back!

We had a GREAT time during our half day trip down the Arkansas River! Even though it was late August and the water level was lower, our guide Maggie saw to it that we had an exciting adventure floating over several white water rapids. We never got stuck (as did one raft in our group), and even managed to reach our destination first. The on-line registration saved lots of time when we got there. We highly recommend Arkansas River Tours, and be sure to ask for Maggie - she's da bomb!!! Gail & Bud.
