My brother and I decided to be spontaneous and take a trip out to Canon City, CO on September 6th, to experience our first rafting trip! What a wonderful time we had. Andy was our guide and he was absolutely wonderful and beyond experienced. We booked an all day trip where we also had an awesome lunch! (Yummy). It was... more

I would NOT recommend this outfit! Their customer service has a lot to be desired. It was mass confusion when we arrived for our trip. One of the guides popped his raft on a rock, tied it up and proceeded to attempt to navigate a class IV rapid, passengers and all, they did not fair well. Their equipment is cheap!... more

My husband had never been white water rafting, and friends of ours recommended Royal Gorge area for his first plunge. We chose Royal Gorge rafting and did the back to back. This is where you go twice in one day. We had a great experience.... and were very surprised that both trips down the river were very different. I cant... more

Absolutely the best expierence in the Royal Gorge. I took a group of 40 people from our company on Sunday June 15 to raft the royal gorge river. The team at Royal Gorge went over and beyond to make sure we had the best rafting expierence ever. I have been white water rafting on the Nantahala river (home of the... more

This was my second time rafting (first time with RGR) and first time for my brother who came to visit me from North Carolina. My brother, husband, and I were paired with another couple on Thursday, May 1, 2008 and had a wonderful time. It was a cold, windy, and light snow day. We did the full day Royal Gorge... more

I went on Buffalo Joe's all day Royal Gorge trip with the steak dinner about 10 years ago, when in my forties. It was fabulous and I highly recommend it! The water was really rushing at 2700 cfs in June so Hold On to your seat. We had an experienced guide who managed somehow to get a fellow rafter back... more

My husband and I recently took time off to do local day trips. One day we did an afternoon rafting trip with Raven Rafting Adventure Trips. This was late in the rafting season -- in early September -- but the temperature was still in the high 80s, so warm enough for rafting. My husband had never been rafting before, so... more

RGR is the newest rafting company but they have veterans running their business. The staff is very experienced and personable. They do not overcrowd their rafts as I noticed with the other companies. My wife and I were paired with another couple. For all of us, it was our first time rafting. We took the full day trip down the... more

This was the best vacation ever! I would give Royal Gorge Rafting my HIGHEST recommendations. From start to finish it was amazing. The staff was awesome. I initially arranged my trip with Jimmy. I had already spoken with several other companies. He was the only one who took the time to fully explain what we could expect. Since I had... more

If you are looking for a place to raft, look no more!! The Royal Gorge Rafting Company is the place to go. I have been rafting with them several times this year and would not go anywhere else. They have excellent guides that promote fun & safety. They also have much newer & nicer equipment than I've seen. The customer... more
