With this being my first time, and having Dan as our guide, this trip was a blast. We were told a couple times we might have to swim, and at one point we did, but with Dan's expert advice, we pulled through an exciting trip unscaved. I would do this again, in fact, I WILL be doing this again. Thanks... More

Me and my bud Geoff had a blast white water rafting a stretch of the Arkansas river they call the Numbers. We came from Minnesota to raft some Colorado white water and our guide Dan was the best; he made sure we had a great time! He complemented us when we did good and yes he was tough on us... More

Really great trip even with relatively low flow on the Arkansas River. Andrew knew the best lines through the rapids to make the trip exciting. Highly recommended. More

Dan was our guide and was amazing! He was very knowledgeable about the area and was fun to talk to. The staff was very friendly and helpful with any questions we had. I definitely recommend using this company for your next trip. More

There is no reason to look anywhere else. The guides are great, the equiptment is top notch and they are located right on the water. Everyone is so nice - there really is no other group that compares. More

This was our family's first time white water rafting. I chose American Adventure because it had been advertised in Colorado literature and it also had good reviews on Trip Advisor. Our guide was Brandon and he was great. He was not only a competent guide, but he also shared interesting information about the Royal Gorge area. Since we were beginners,... More

Myself and one other person booked the full day rafting with Bighorn Sheep Canyon in the morning and Royal Gorge in the afternoon. We rafted in September, meaning the water flow was heading to it's slower end of the season (around 600 cfs, with spring/summer melt normally bringing 3200+ cfs). With low water levels, Bighorn Sheep Canyon (Class III) was... More

An unexpected injury in our party necessitated a change in plans that the kind folks at AAE quickly accomodated. (Injury NOT related to rafting activity). Not only did they let us change our reservation, they comped Wetsuit rentals! The trip itself was amazing.....the views were incredible, the water perfect and the guide, Luke, so good. Overall, I would recommend this... More
