Review the Royal Gorge rafting adventure in Cañon City, with Class III to V rapids, lunch, gear, guides, pricing, and practical tips.

“Our trip was Epic! Luke was a terrific guide and very knowledgeable about the History of the Royal Gorge and how to navigate the rapids. I was cold during the morning half of trip and at lunch Luke called in for a dry jacket and a fleece to add warmth. I had no idea that Journey Quest was part of a Christian Wilderness Ministry when I booked, but there really isn’t any religious components to the trip except for a quick safety prayer at the beginning of the trip- which I think was an added bonus. Luke kept us safe- and it was an beautiful adventure!”

“Mattie was a great guide and was great with the kids. We felt safe and had a relaxing ride down the river. We would have liked a little more "white water" action but we will do that the next time. We saw some beautiful cranes along the river and one in flight. That was special! Some cows were wading at one spot and we got a chance to do a little swimming in a shallow pool. Thanks, we will be back the next time we come to Colorado!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 7 reviews · 4 hours · from $157

Review of Royal Gorge rafting from Cañon City, with wetsuits, lunch, photos, safety details, pricing, rapids, and practical booking advice.

“Experience overall was okay. We had a group of 7 and were assured we would all be on same raft. That did not happen upon arrival. Was given some excuse of water levels. However, other rafting companies we saw on water route had groups of 7. So we felt we were misled in order to gain sale. Wetsuits were not provided nore was lunch. A digital photo (singular) was provided at the end of excursion. The remainder photos and video could be purchased for $99+tax.”
