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 weather was cold and raining but the rafting was awesome! The staff was nice and met all of our needs. Our guide, Mike, was knowledgeable and made us feel safe in this advanced whitewater. He had interesting facts about the canyon and it was much more than just a float down the river. I recommend using ART for anyone wanting to have a great time rafting down the Arkansas River. -Rob from Wisconsin

I never been rafting before but after this experience, I’m hooked. I would recommend ART for anyone looking to have an amazing time on the water. Mike was top notch. He was funny yet serious about everyone’s safety. He was extremely knowledgeable about the history along the river. If you ever want to become a river rafting guide, you can certainly learn a thing or two from Mike. Yeee haw!

We had an awesome time on our float! I liked how we have the instructions given to us on the way to the put in spot which enabled us to get in the water quicker. Our guide, RonJon, was very knowledgeable and skilled. He knew jexactly where to point the boat and when to paddle to avoid getting stuck in the somewhat shallow waters unlike many of the other rafters from other companies. He was also knowledgeable in the history of the area and the geography. We had an excellent time and highly recommend this company to anyone looking for a great rafting experience.
