I did an off-site team builder with my Air Force Unit last summer with Whitewater Adventure Outfitters. It was so out-of-sight! Our guide Ian was up to the challenge of a bunch of thrill seekers; and he delivered too! I was amazed at the professional approach to safety; easy to learn and follow instructions. Our 24th wedding anniversary was the... More

My husband, 14 year old son and I rafted with WAO last summer, and had an incredible experience! It was our first white water rafting experience, and we weren't sure quite what to expect, except we expected to enjoy it. We underestimated our enjoyment level. Shawn was our guide, and he was the best on the river, hands down. He... More

We have a summer home in Colorado and have lots of guests! One thing they always like to do is have us take them rafting. We have tried many of the rafting companies, but have made WAO our rafting destination. They are very safety conscious and stress the importance of following the rules in order to have a safe and...

Our family had a fantastic time with Lauren on August 9. SHe did a great job with all of our four family members plus the two others , all of whom were beginners.

Our 1/2 day rafting experience was super! It was our first whitewater raft trip and WAO gave us safety training that our children could understand and participate in their own safety on the raft trip. Our guide, Aaron, made the trip very enjoyable. We definitely will call WAO next time we come to town! More

I loved the trip and the guide, and the only thing I can complain about was that the rapids weren't crazy enough, but that was kinda out of my control! More

We had a great trip with a great guide from WAO. My only complaint is that they tried to sell you a CD with some photos snapped during the ride at the end of the trip for $20, which seems way too high. Warning for those who travel early in the season (may and early june)- much higher water then... More

I usually do the double shot of the gorge with friends(bunch of Guys). This time took the family and my wife did not want to paddle. So we did the whole day trip and our guide Dave made it just as much fun as the double shot. More

The folks at WAO couldn't have been better. Knowledgeable, experienced, great sense of humor and attentive. Our trip down the Arkansas river thru Royal Gorge was an experience we'll always remember. Our guide, Trent gave us plenty of thrills (and chills given the water temperature) but we never felt in danger. There are bigger outfits but none better. More
