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.

We had an absolutely exhilarating day doing the Grand Slam (two trips down the Royal Gorge). Our guide, RonJon, knew the best lines to have a fun ride while keeping us a safe as possible. We got a feel for the various rapids on the first run, and then in the second, we surfed and did some wild maneuvers the took it up a couple notches! I'm am experienced rafter and HIGHLY recommend Arkansas River Tours with RonJon as your guide if you want to have a day you'll never forget!

We went on the Big Horn Sheep Canyon trip last week. It was amazing! We rafted the Royal Gorge trip a couple of years ago and loved it, but wanted a little more “chill” ride to enjoy the scenery. Luke, our guide was just great. Polite, fun, knowledgeable- just a great guy to raft the river with. Even though we took the calmer trip, it still had some great rapids, and we got thoroughly wet. Another overall great experience, and we WILL be back!

Our guide, Eman was awesome. I definitely feel like the guide can make or break the trip and all of the guides seemed to be great!! It was such a fun rafting experience.
