“Great Day on the River!”

Reviewed 6 April 2012

We have rafted on the Colorado rivers many times in the past 30 years and Echo Canyon provides the best experience on the river. The guides are experienced and the equipment is first-rate. (So is the attention to all the details, including safety issues.) The staff is very helpful in arranging trips and the location near the Royal Gorge affords... More

Thanks to our friends in KC for the review! We've worked hard to offer the new facility amenities and riverside accommodations, so it's really nice to hear you appreciate the changes. We are fortunate to have a great hard-working staff, not to mention wonderful return guests like you. It's a pleasure sharing the river experience with you, and we hope... More

“Echo Canyon: The Best of the Royal Gorge”

Reviewed 5 April 2012

I still remember my first trip down the Royal Gorge with Echo Canyon. I just could not believe you could *do* that in raft. Efficient, professional front-desk execution combined with the top guides on the river (by actual experience and training) make for an excellent experience. I've toured with Echo canyon for over 20 summers. The one time they were... More

“I'll only raft with Echo Canyon!”

Reviewed 28 October 2011

Our family was all first-timers and were a little nervous. Melissa explained everything so well, took advantage of our strengths and taught us how to overcome our weaknesses. We had the time of our lives with Echo and we hope to go back again in a couple of years!

Our family decided to do the white water river rafting at the end of our trip and we picked Echo Canyon based on Trip Advisor Reviews. We are so happy we did. They were excellent from the booking right down to the navigation on the Arkansas River. Our guide was down to earth and an expert at navigating the river... More

“Awesome experience for our family.”

Reviewed 12 October 2011

The company was top-notch. We had a wonderful guide and we shared a raft with another great family. We were a little nervous starting out. They start you on the easy rapids and gradually introduce you to the harder ones. The lunch provided was very good with plenty to eat. By the end of the day, we knew what we... More

Thanks for reviewing us, Julie! Full day trips are the way to go for the very reasons you mentioned; a nice warm up in the AM to boost your confidence and then bumping it up a notch in the PM. I'm glad to hear it was a great day for your family! More
