Loved this white water rafting trip!! - Rebecca was my guide and she was by far the best guide I could have hoped for. She is so chill, funny and a very talented white water guide. Can't say enough good things about this white water rafting experience!

Couldn’t ask for a better rafting adventure - We‘ve been with Julian and it was the best trip ever! He teached us a lot about the stunning nature. We also saw a few animals, did cliff diving and 50% of our crew fell in the water. It’s rough!!
We couldn’t ask for a better guide. Thank you so much!
Greetings from Germany.

Royal Gorge rafting - Great time! Our guide was Tyler and he was awesome!! Very knowledgeable about the history of the area which made our adventure that much more enjoyable. Our safety was very important to him, I can’t imagine a better guide. This was my 3rd time rafting with lost paddle. I highly recommend them.

Good vibes and a rush of FUN! - Such a perfect day! We loved the fun and excellence brought by our guide. The water is naturally lower in August, but we made it through the rocks without a spill. We cheered on other rafts as they made it through the tough turns—it was fun and nice to see all the rafting companies supporting each other. It was a highlight of our trip. Great experience!

Great Time with the Lost Paddle Team! - Fantastic paddle down the Royal Gorge! Love the small business feel and attention we got from our guide and the owner. Water level was low as you'd expect this time of year, but our guide knew how to make the best of it for our group, including newbies and some who'd been a few times before. Definitely recommend and looking forward to going back!

Amazing day on the water - What a day! We went in late August and the water was extremely low, making floating through the obstacles (rocks and drops) very technical and difficult. Our amazing guide Julian knew what he was doing and instructed us clearly on what to do in order to be successful. We were worn out by the end, but it was a “good” tired! Highly recommend!

10/10 experience - Highly recommend Lost Paddle Rafting! Don’t let their exterior appearance dissuade you from booking. These guys are the real deal and will book an ever lasting memorable trip for you. 10/10 and can’t wait to book another river adventure with LPR!

10/10 must do in your lifetime. - The views are awe taking, first time in Colorado. We drove 2.5 hours from Denver and it was well worth the drive. The views around the whole area breathtaking. We even seen some mule deer way up in the side of the gorge on our tour. Even seen a fox with what looked like a rabbit in his mouth.
The views of the royal gorge are beautiful.
I’ve been rafting in two other states and this by far has been the most fun and most challenging rafting I’ve done. The staff were all great and friendly, I came with a group of four friends and we had a blast with Bono as our guide. He’s got jokes, stories, and history about the royal gorge. 10/10 must try this in your lifetime.

Top-notch Experience - Our guide's name was Gigi. She did a wonderful job of steering/guiding our raft down the more technical passages of the Big Horn Sheep Canyon 1/2 day raft trip. She easily engaged with all four passengers on our raft and made us feel confident in her expertise. I recommend Gigi and Lost Paddle Rafting without hesitation!
