This was our first time river rafting. We would love to do it again. It was exhilarating. The only thing I would do different is next time I would bring a waterproof camera. River Runners took pictures that were great but there were 4 of us and my youngest did not make it in any picture. The river was low... More

What a great TEAM-working experience and environment for our sales staff. We drove down from Colorado Springs (50 minutes) on a Friday morning. Checked in, boarded a bus, and was on the water in know time. Simple, easy, hassle-free, and a great excuse to skip work! The guides were fun, informative, and good at what they do. We've already started... More

This was the third time we've been rafting on the Royal Gorge and I would have to say it was just average. We were not impressed with the guide. He wasn't very personable. Plus, the water was low, which made it very slow getting down the river. It wasn't the guides fault, but I felt like the company should've mentioned... More

We rafted with our two kids, ages 7 and 9. It was our third rafting experience with the kids. We've done the Yellowstone and the Snake, but this was our best trip by far with elementary age kids. We lucked out and we had our own raft with our guide Keith, who was experienced, patient and funny. It was a... More

Great day, great water, great fun! We've done this as a sales staff outing now for three years and each year gets better. The water was a little lower this year, so the trip was a bit more technical (meaning: more rocks). We had a couple of challenging rapids, but that added to the experience. Our guide was fun, adventurous... More

We took our sales team on a rafting trip last Wednesday. Knowing that the water wasn't going to be running to hard we set our expectations at a low level. Come to find out that was not necessary. We had plenty of water running down stream and kept us going at a pretty good pace for this late in the... More

I have rafted with river runners mutiple times over the years and have always had a pleasant experience. This year we decided to get a group of 8 to go rafting. We requested for all of us to be together on the raft if possible. We were informed that this may not be a possibility however, we would not know... More

We went rafting as part of our parent's 50th anniversary celebration. The company was very easy to work with and even though we were in two rafts, all of us had a great experience. The guides were fun, knowledgeable and helped us all have a great time. We will definitely do this again! More

From booking to completion, then entire organization was on top of their game, making our experience excellent. We reserved our trip over the phone. All my questions were answered patiently and completely helping me select the best trip for one adult and two 11 year olds. Were were advised where to go and what to bring. A confirmation email followed... More
