Our experience with Raft Masters was amazing. Kate or "Hammer" was our guide and she did a great job of showing us all the techniques with the paddle and for safety. She also remembered everyone's name and was very personable. The ride itself was great- low waters meant we hit some rocks, but she made it fun and not scary... More

Excellent experience. Royal gorge half day trip. Went when the water level was low so it was a more technical trip. Rapids were still fun, don't let the lower water levels fool you- it is still an adrenalin pumping trip! Our guide Ryan was excellent. (You can request a guide and I STRONGLY urge you to choose him.) Since the... More

We took our first time rafting trip through the Royal Gorge on 08.23.12 with Raft Masters. The entire Team at Raft Masters made our experience enjoyable and would highly recommend them to anyone who is looking for a rafting trip company in the Canon City area. Their location was only minutes from our hotel in Canon City. Their facility was... More

We visited Colorado Springs area the week was 9/17. We wanted to do white-water rafting, and were glad we found a company still taking people out because it was so late in the season. The waters were low, but we were all first timers so it was perfect for us. We did the half-day, which is about 3 hours. Ryan,... More

Even though it was late in the season and the water was low, we had an amazing trip! It was our first time white water rafting, but it won't be our last! Our guide, Dillion, was fantastic! He gave us great history about the Royal Gorge and the surrounding area. We have already decided we will be going back during... More

Took a mother and daughter trip to the Pikes Peak area the week after Labor Day. The weather was great and the lines were short since we were technically "out of season". We decided to try white-water rafting for the first time on our last day. We chose Raft Masters simply because they were the only company we called still... More

We went on the only day this season where it rained the whole time! We had some water falls and a higher water level so the rapids were great. Our guide Ryan was funny, friendly, and knowledgeable. They give you great gear to work with, and a complete run through of safety procedures, and how to raft if you've never... More

I went rafting for the first time this summer and couldn't have picked a better place. I had gone on a snowmobiling tour with Kiel and I had an even better time rafting with him. He told interesting stories about the route and the history, and made sure everyone had a great time. I'm excited to go back when there's... More

Everyone at raft masters was great. We went rafting (half day) through the royal gorge. Our guide was awesome and knew a ton about the gorge and the canon city area. I would definitely go back.

My daughter and I had a great time. Jesse has got to be the most amazing river guide there!!! Gave us a history lesson of the area the entire time we were rafting, and allowed us to do some amazing surfing! :) And then, of course, jumping off the cliffs was fun too. I would recommend the full day trip... More
