Went with a group of 23 highschool boys on a 3 day trip on the Colorado River sponsored by Raft Masters. They took complete care of us and made so sure that we had a good time and made it as smooth as possible. They provided exquisite food for every meal and ensured us a good time. The guides were...

Water was pretty tame. Our first time but a toddler could have handled these 'rapids'. More

You should come back in the middle of the summer and experience the rapids, it will be a completely different ride that you are sure to enjoy! More

Had an awesome time rafting with Raft Masters! Everyone was friendly and helpful and seemed like they really wanted us to have a great time. Our guide was informative not only about rafting but about the area and things to do as well. We now have a new hobby that I think we won't be able to get enough of!... More

2nd time at Raftmasters & glad I went back. Great experience for the family & equally enjoyable second time around. BL and the guides were informative and fun. Whitewater was great...even for August. It's nice that you can choose between rafting the uppper section (Bighorn Canyon) or the big water in the lower section (Royal Gorge). You can also raft... More

We had an excellent trip, and though we went off season when the water level was low, our guide, Kiel, made sure we got our money's worth. As a first time rafter I was not sure of what to expect, but our Royal Gorge half day trip gave us all the fun, thrills and laughs that I hoped to have.... More

We went with a group of couples. It was a lot of fun and adventurous at times (ok, fine the whole time). I dont have anything negative to say, just a different type of experience that I have not done before. We had a great time and would suggest for anyone to try it at least once. Our group may... More
