Royal Gorge Rafting Trips

Where adrenaline flows as fast as the rapids

Do people describe you as a thrill-seeker? The adrenaline junkie? The wild one? Then the Royal Gorge rafting trip is your cup of tea, or your triple-espresso. Sunshine Falls, Sledgehammer, and Boat Eater are the names of just a few class III to V rapids you’ll experience while paddling through the Gorge. This is extreme Colorado white water rafting at its best.

Legendary status

Royal Gorge rafting trips have been the subject of countless stories recounted around campfires and they live up to the hype. You’ll plunge down the Arkansas river as it cuts through the aptly-named Royal Gorge with sheer 1,000 foot canyon walls and world-class white water around every bend. Your group’s feedback combined with ever-changing water conditions allows us to hand-craft a trip that’s as unique as you all are.

It’s time to dig deep

Let the canyon walls open up your mind and your horizons. Conquer the challenge of the Royal Gorge and discover more about yourself and the Colorado mountain west than you thought possible. See astounding geology, witness local wildlife, and feel the power of the Arkansas River as it bounces you downstream, splashing cool mountain water directly in your face.

Stay close to the action

While the Royal Gorge is its own self-contained fun-zone, you’ll be surrounded by endless opportunities for action and adventure. The nearby Cañon City region offers hiking, biking, off-roading, zip lining, and a host of other outdoor activities. Colorado Springs is only about an hour away and is the home of majestic Pikes Peak, the Manitou Incline (clocking in at 2,744-steps) and plenty of restaurants, breweries, and nightlife.
