The entire experience was amazing from a quick and easy check in, to equipment fitting, safety talk, to the actual rafting. We did the half day kayaking trip with Chris and then the next day we did the full day Royal Gorge rafting trip with Emmaline. Both are phenomenal guides and just great people to get to know and hang out with as well. After, we were able to see and purchase about 50 pictures of us for each day, which was really cool. I would highly recommend Journey Quest. I chose them over the larger commercial rafting companies because they allow less people in the rafts and are definitely more personalized. The next time we will be in the area (hopefully next year) I will be booking another trip with them.

The entire trip was fantastic, but rafting through the gorge was breathtaking! Mark (owner and our guide) was a highly skilled, informative and wonderful host!

We absolutely loved our full day on the River with Journey Quest!! My first rafting experience, my husbands 3rd. Mark, the owner and our guide was exceptional! Professional, personable, knowledgeable and could be somewhat funny at times. We also met his wife Sara and the whole staff. All were very kind and helpful. We started the day with a group prayer on the boat and from there it was nothing but an awesome experience, both challenging and fun!! The Royal Gorge was absolutely stunning and full of history! My husband and I are retired from the Navy, we’ve been around the world and done a lot! I can honestly say this was one of the BEST adventures we’ve ever had! We highly recommend Journey Quest & already discussing what our next adventure with them will be! Thank you Mark, Sara & the whole team! P.S. the pictures that were taken along the River are outstanding! That was a nice surprise to have this rememberable moment captured so well! God bless you and may He continue to bless Journey Quest.
