Advanced Royal Gorge Whitewater Rafting Trip in Cañon City booking from $120.00

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.

Absolutely loved this trip! We had a blast, and knew we were safe the entire time. Ethan N is awesome; super knowledgeable and a lot of fun! They also took social distancing and other cautionary covid measures very seriously, which I think we can all appreciate. Thanks for everything guys! I'll be back very soon!

Thanks for your 5 star review! Operating in the new era of COVID-19 is challenging but there is no better way to socially distance than out on the river!

Weather was over 100 degrees and the water was over 2750 cfs and our river guide, Kyle, led us on a breathtaking, memorable trip of a lifetime. We were all impressed by his knowledge of the river's unique offerings that day. Bravo to ART and Kyle for a job done extremely well!

We did the overnight trip with Brown's Canyon on Saturday and Royal Gorge on Sunday and we had the best time. Kyle W was our guide and he was awesome -- he was super easy going and got along with all of the big personalities on our raft while also giving us easy to follow instructions. I will definitely request him when we return next year. I loved doing the overnight, the campsite is in Cotopaxi right along the river and its truly beautiful and peaceful. Arkansas River Tours has a shower onsite and you can rent tents, sleeping bags, etc. Kyle cooked us some delish steaks, potatoes, corn, brownies, etc. and then we had a nice campfire. In the morning we had breakfast tacos -- the food was much better than I was expecting. Upon arrival they outfit you with a helmet, life jacket, and wetsuit and/or water shoes if either are needed. I wore a wetsuit because I would rather be too warm than too cold and I highly recommend doing the same. Bring lots of sunscreen, sunglasses, and some water and you will have a blast! Thanks for an awesome weekend, Kyle!
