My boyfriend and I went on the Water to Wine Trip offered by Royal Gorge Rating. This experience exceeded any expectations I could possibly have! This trip included three events (1) rafting, (2) wine tasting, and (3) a helicopter ride. We started the day with a three hour rafting trip. Thank you to our amazing guide, Alan, for the fun... more

The staff really made this activity the highlight of my trip. The guide we had was awesome, but I got that vibe from everyone who worked there. Definitely don't have to have any rafting experience to have a great time. I was nervous, but soon realized there wasn't much to it. I'm glad we only did a half day, as... more

Great service, excellent staff and guides, tons of fun for our whole family. Our kids, ages 9 and 12, who used to want to be a teacher and a vet, now want to be raft guides! That says a lot for a family vacation. We were totally impressed with everyone at Royal Gorge Rafting from the front desk check in... more

We just went this morning for a half day with our eight year old daughter. She loved it and our guide Shawn could not have been better. He taught us a lot. Our daughter was able to help paddle, she "rode the bull" towards the end, and floated in the river. The bar and grill next to the office was... more

We went last week. The staff was extremely helpful, knowledgeable, and fun! It was the hi-lite of the trip & I am so glad that we didn't use any other company! more

We (two couples) were there July 5-8, 2009, with the all-inclusive package. We stayed in the Royal Gorge Ranch lodge three nights - extremely nice accomodations. We were assigned an expert guide, David, as soon as we arrived. The owners, Ty and Jimmy, met us and were very nice. The first morning, David picked us up and took us to... more

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
