Being from Texas, we were familar with tubing in New Braunfels but we wanted to take a raft trip in Colorado under the Royal Gorge Bridge. After a brief primer about equipment at the office and after safety rules on the 10 min bus ride to the drop off point, our adventure began. Talmadge was our guide and was absolutely... More

Our family of 8 with kids from 16 to 6 had a great experience. We had 2 rafts ~ one for the more adventurous who paddled with their guide, and one for the younger/less adventurous whose guide had the big paddles to stay in control, but let us paddle when we wanted to. Our rafts stayed in sight of each... More

Family of 5 with a 16 year old and two ten year olds - this was our first rafting trip together. We had a great time! Adam was an experienced guide full of information about rafting, the river and its scenery and other Canon City attractions. He was funny and friendly and the kids thought he was great - I... More

We had an awesome time with Lost Paddle! Spanke was our guide and he did a great job. We did have Grace, from the previous review, as our safety talk person and I would agree with the previous reviewer I would not want to be in her raft. More

On July 23, 2011 my family enjoyed a great whitewater rafting experience with Lost Paddle Rafting. We took the Royal Gorge trip for 3 hours. The only complaint I have is that we should have booked the all day trip. Out of the five family members only two of us have done any rafting like this. The guides for Lost... More

Great service and rates for the trip. Guides, Stan and Larry, very knowledgable about the river and area. Lots of fun on the 3 day 2 night trip down the Arkansas River. Great food and plenty to go around for all. Bring mosquito repellant, did not realize that they would be an issue. Will book trip again in the future... More

I took some of our older Boy Scouts and their dads on the three day-two night trip offered by Lost Paddle Rafting and it was a great experience. We started in Salida and went through the Royal Gorge. The staff are quite knowledgable and easy to work with in setting up the trip and identifying what you need. I felt... More

As first time rafters, I admit I was a bit nervous to go. The staff at Lost Paddle Rafting made me worry-free from the minute we arrived. Just from talking with them, it is evident they are very passionate and knowledgeable about white water rafting. Safety was a BIG priority and they explained everything so that even a first timer...
