Royal Gorge Rafting

We had a blast this afternoon with Royal Gorge rafting. Our guide Savannah was incredibly skilled and super calm. She was very supportive and ensured that everyone felt valued and safe. The company was extremely well organised. The gear was in perfect condition and the gorge was beautiful. We were lucky to spot mountain goats and no one dumped. The water level was low, but there was plenty of excitement and numerous Class IV rapids. I would highly recommend this company!

Wonderful morning rafting trip July 14th on the Royal Gorge with Berto, the most experienced guide of all! We also did the Extreme Zip Line in the afternoon which was also very fun (though tower jump at the end is no joke and not for faint hearted). As with Berto, our zip line guides Anthony and Justine were really great and helped us safely go through all the challenges. We had a great time on both and the Royal Gorge is beautiful!! Thank you for an awesome experience!

My wife, 10yo son, and myself did the Bighorn Sheep Canyon trip a couple weeks ago. We loved it and had a blast (our first time whitewater rafting), but wanted to raise it up a notch and do the Royal Gorge route that is more intense. This time we left our son with family and brought my brother and his older son along, as this route can go up to class V. I want to give a special thanks to our guide, Bono, for being an awesome guide. He was knowledgeable about the region and we had great conversation in between rapids. He was an artist with a paddle, deftly maneuvering us to keep our raft going in the right-ish direction. He was also really generous and helped my family record this unforgettable experience. I brought my GoPro and recorded our trip from my POV, but around the halfway point, Bono suggested he could wear it and get the whole raft. Still going through the footage but so far it is amazing and really captures our actions (and reactions) far better than my POV at the front. The action shots from the in house photographers are phenomenal as well. If you're on the fence about doing this, just send it. You won't see a sad face on a raft. PS: If you're from sea level too (and/or the south), I suggest wearing UV long sleeve shirt and pants. I was advised this by a family friend and confirmed during my first trip. The Arkansas is in the upper 50s at the end of July. The sun is intense, but the moment the sun is blocked you feel the chill of the water. Go team Falcons!

Five stars all around. First off we did the rafting and zip lining bundle. The employees and atmosphere were peek. Everything was pretty easy to understand there could have been a little more guidance on what to wear for rafting like should we switch shoes? Or should we wear the yellow poncho it was kind of put as an optional thing. Rafting: we did switch shoes HIGHLY RECOMMEND the water shoes your feet will get soaked bring extra socks as well. As for the jackets I had a fleece on and put the yellow jacket on top because it was very chilly but 10 minutes in everyone in my group got hot and took off all the layers so embrace getting a little wet. Our guide ⭐️Ben ⭐️was super funny and obviously very experienced made the trip so fun. Zip lining: was also super fun, the one thing I will say is there is a little hiking and if you aren’t used to the elevation be prepared to drink water(periodically provided) and wear hiking clothes I wore shorts but if you’re prone to chafing wear leggings and a t-shirt. Our guides ⭐️Emmy & Declan⭐️ were also amazing and deserve the shout out making jokes and being very observant of weather and safety! Overall the day with rafting, zipping, and the included lunch-which was really good-the whole experience was a day full of fun and adrenaline high recommend.

Amazing trip! Fast water with 960 ft walls on either side?! Hard to beat. We did the half day trip which was plenty, we were cold and pretty tired by the end. We have done several rafting trips before and this was by the best! It was super easy to get checked and equipped. The entire staff was very helpful and explained everything very well so we had clear instructions and expectations and they’re hilarious lol. Tim was our guide and he was fantastic. He coached us up well and felt safe in the big rapids. He knew a ton about the river and surrounding area was super funny. We had a mixed boat of strength and experience and got us all working together. All our equipment worked well. Hanging out at White Water Bar & Grill before & after was great too, that place is really fun and great food.

White water rafting with this company was the absolute highlight of our 8-day Colorado adventure! We did the 3-hour tour with two tweens, and it was the perfect mix of excitement and fun. Reid was our guide, and he was phenomenal, clearly a seasoned pro whose top priority is safety, while also making the entire experience incredibly fun and memorable. One of the unexpected highlights was the opportunity to jump off rocks and swim in the river such a thrill and perfect for the kids (and adults too!). From the easy booking process to check-in and getting outfitted with gear, everything was seamless and well-organized. We felt taken care of every step of the way. 10/10 recommend if you’re looking for adventure, beautiful scenery, and unforgettable memories!

We had an exceptional experience at Royal Gorge Rafting with Aidan as our guide! His expertise on the river and rafting was immediately evident—he navigated with confidence and ease while sharing a wealth of knowledge about the area's history, including fascinating insights into the American West, the canyons, and the railroad. Aidan went above and beyond by pointing out native plants, trees, and wildlife, turning the trip into both an adventure and an educational experience. He kept our kids fully engaged from start to finish, striking the perfect balance between fun and learning. We couldn't have asked for a better guide!

Had the BEST time at Royal Gorge Rafting & Zip Lining for a bachelorette/bachelor party of 12! The food was delicious, rafting with Garrett & Reed was a blast, and zip lining with Anthony, Zoe, and Taylor was so fun and safe thanks to their awesome guidance. And Reed… never change, you’re hilarious. We’ll definitely be back!
