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.

Had a wonderful time doing a full day trip down Royal Gorge. The views were spectacular and the rafting was exhilarating. Our guide, Allison, was great. She was obviously knowledgeable and technically skilled. We felt very safe with her guiding the boat. Booking was easy online and everything was organized and ran smoothly. They were very accommodating and made every effort to help us have a wonderful time. Would definitely book future tours with ART.

After a long road trip with the kids, we finished it off with a trip down the royal Gorge. Thankfully we booked with Arkansas River Tours, because they created a perfect ending to a perfect trip. Our guide, Zack, was knowledgeable about his craft as well as the river and therefore made the entire trip informative and a blast. The outfitter was very well organized and followed through on everything they promised. Their attitudes and customer service are what you'd expect from a quality organization and I highly recommend using this company.

We go with ART every year with people that come to our ranch which is close to their headquarters. Julie and all her guides are excellent.
