I raft in the Gorge with friends every year with WAO and always request Dave to be our guide.
He is simply THE BEST guide you could ever hope for. Thanks for another great trip.

We had a great time. Thank you for your hospitality. Everyone was very professional and friendly; a difficult “mix” to accomplish. Dave was one of the best guides I have ever met.

Half Day
A Colorado classic, the half day Royal Gorge is the most popular trip we run among locals and repeat guests. The best whitewater on the Arkansas River combined with the some of the most spectacular scenery in the State. We are certain this adventure will leave you in awe. We recommend the morning check-in time on this one with less "river traffic" and nearly always warm sunshine. Our guides covet the "morning Gorge" trip. WAO offers the shortest shuttles possible during this trip. Class III - V thrills.
Full Day
The ultimate raft trip in Colorado. This trip is ranked in the top ten white water trips nationally. The best of Bighorn Canyon in the morning, including class III & III+ rapids Wake Up, Three Rocks, Spikebuck & Sharkstooth. We then stop for a rest at the Parkdale beach and enjoy our famous riverside lunch. Be ready to focus and paddle hard through the class III - V turbulence that is the ROYAL GORGE. Seven out of ten miles of continuous white water thrills including Sunshine Falls, Sledgehammer, Wallslammer & Boateater. The Gorge is home to the most spectacular scenery on the river as you pass under the highest suspension bridge in the world, 1053' above you. The premier Colorado rafting adventure on the Arkansas River!
Double Shot
This WAO original offers the Royal Gorge half-day raft trip twice in one day! This option assures that you receive the most "splash for your cash" possible. Through the spectacular Royal Gorge in the morning, a rest and our delicious lunch at the Parkdale beach, and then through the Gorge again in the afternoon! This option was originated by request from some of our most loyal and adventurous clients.
