Stop At: Royal Gorge Zip Line Tours, 45045 W US Highway 50, Canon City, CO 81212-9735
Join us on the world-renowned half day Royal Gorge trip.
The Royal Gorge Region of Colorado is a rugged wonderland of scenic hills, plunging canyons, and swift moving water. Formed over millions of years as the Arkansas River cut into the rising granite of the Colorado Plateau, the steep canyon is more than 1,200ft deep and, in some locations, less than 50 ft. Wide. The broken, mountainous landscape makes it an ideal location for adventure seekers looking for new ways to challenge themselves in the amazing outdoors.
The class III, IV, (V) whitewater of the Royal Gorge features many exciting rapids such as Sunshine Falls, Sledgehammer, and the Narrows, just to name a few.

Our guide, Joey, and the support team, was great. We were going back and forth between the moderate and more difficult sections of the river and chose the moderate. Despite that, he gave us options to make it very fun.

We did the 1/2 day rafting and extreme Zipline. We had a blast! Our rafting guide Reed (Reid) was AMAZING! Thank you (paddle high five).
Justine and Derrick were amazing on the extreme lines. They were supportive and gave one of our group a little (push) of encouragement on the 7 Story drop.
WE LOVED YOU ALL. Can’t say a bad thing. Can’t wait to come back next year!

I need to preface my review by saying I was extremely nervous—while I hike, bike and kayak regularly, I tend to shy away from more extreme activities. While Adam was not my guide (he was in the other raft), he provided the safety briefing for the group, and he knew I was nervous. But his instructions were clear and very reassuring and he made sure I felt comfortable. In the middle of the trip, he even checked to make sure I was doing ok and having fun! My actual guide, Drew, was amazing. He mixed his dry humor with interesting facts and stories about the local area, the wildlife, landscape etc. But most importantly, he was an expert guide, and after the first section of rapids, I was relaxed and had complete trust in him. The whole trip was outstanding—I laughed so much and had a total blast! If I can work it into my schedule, I plan on returning in June when the high water is running and I will definitely request Adam and Drew! 1000% recommend this rafting company!

We rafted at Royal Gorge in Canon City and had Jeff as our guide. Needless to say, having 5 women on their annual girls trip was a handful , but Jeff handled it like a PRO!!
We gave him a few laughs, but he gave us the raft trip of a lifetime!! If you are thinking of rafting the Royal Gorge I definitely recommend Royal Gorge Rafting and ask for Jeff!! So fun!!!!

We had a great time on this trip. The river is a blast, lots of twists and turns as well as rocks to navigate. Challenging but fun. Our guide Andrew was excellent, both in trip guidance and information about the river and surrounding areas. We will be back next year for the high water June trip!
