Maggie and Austin were amazing guides, and Jim was an awesome driver! There are 2 rafts of 6 people, and we all had a lot of fun! ART always made sure that safety was a priority. After getting us suited up with optional wetsuits/shoes, required life jackets and helmets, we had a safety briefing. After that, we proceeded by van to our drop-in point. The river was lower than I expected, but the rapids were just as fun! Next time, we plan on coming back and doing the Advanced Royal Gorge trip! Totally recommend for families with children who may want to experience a tamer rafting trip. These were considered a Class 2 and Class 3 rapid, and parts weren't "easy", but it would definitely be appropriate for children who are 10 and up. We'll be bringing our boys next time!

Very fun trip! Austin was very awesome and made the trip very fun! He made sure to be very clear in his directions. Answered any and all questions that we all had. All of us had never gone rafting before and this was perfect. The river had plenty of rapids that were exciting. All of us would go again.

We did a girls trip and had a blast rafting with Zach O! He had more to offer than just his striking good looks.....he made us feel very safe with his calm demeanor and extensive experience. He made the trip interesting and fun with facts and stories throughout. Even when we hit some rough water and one of the girls fell in, he didn’t miss a beat. He was quick to help rescue her. We will definitely be back again and request Zach O as our preferred guide. -Chelsea, Kristin, Jenn, and Kimsoo
