Take the full day raft trip, better yet take the Bighorn Canyon trip one day and the Royal Gorge Canyon trip the next. more

There are a dozen or more whitewater rafting companies in the Canon City area and some of them heavily advertise in the Colorado Springs market. We went with Royal Gorge because they seemed to have the best value for what our family needed. We're new rafters with a Dad who has been rafting once before. A nervous Mom who'd never... more

This trip was amazing. We choose the all-inclusive package and had an absolute blast. The rafting was more exhilarating than you can imagine and the views are spectacular. This has been one of the best vacations we have ever taken. We are already planning a return trip next year. I would highly recommend this RGR to anyone who is looking... more

We took teenage grandsons and son and daughter-in-law on a rafting trip with RGR over Memorial Day weekend. We had a fantastic time...the river was great, the ride was thrilling and the Royal Gorge Rafting outfil was commendable. Logan was our guide and he was perfect. We have nothing but good things to say about the whole experience from the... more

August 2008 - This was my first time going white water rafting, and it did not disappoint! We went through this company based on previous reviews. It was very easy to make our reservations, the cost seemed very reasonable and our guide (Jesse I believe) was hilarious. He was extrememly knowledgeable about rafting and about the history of the area.... more

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
