The whole experience was great. Our guide , Ricky , was professional, knowledgeable and easy to talk to.

The whole trip was very organized and great. We were anxious and had a lot of questions but the lady in the front was patient and answered all of our questions without getting annoyed. It was super organized and called everyone by name and instructions were very clear. Our guide Mora was so nice and she talked us through everything and got to know us really well. The route is great with some breaks in the middle and it was a great experience. Will for sure come again.

Great company, great equipment, great guide! Incredible experience rafting in the American outdoors. Our guide Alfredo was awesome, incredible technical skills and a lot of fun. Thank you for a great once in a lifetime experience.
-
Great experience. Maura was an amazing guide! It was well organized, lots of fun, and we felt safe. We’ve done Big Horn, but the Royal Gorge trip was our favorite.
-
Great trip!! Alfredo is the best! This was our second trip with Echo Canyon and with Alfredo as our guide. First trip was 5 years ago and they continue to deliver! Would definitely recommend. Location has full bar and grill, changing rooms and full wetsuit if needed included in the price.

Echo Canyon River Expeditions was such an amazing experience! My 2 sons (14 yrs/17 yrs) and 2 nephews (16 yrs/20 yrs) rafted the Big Horn Sheep Canyon with Alfredo as their guide. To say that they loved their time with him is an understatement. They could not stop talking about what a great time they had. They loved it so much that they asked to come back the next day to raft the more intense route through the Royal Gorge, requesting Alfredo as their guide. What an amazing experience for them! As a mom and not being with them, I was feeling the nerves of allowing my kids to participate in such a fast, high-adventure activity. Needless to say, there was nothing to be nervous about because they were in the best hands with Alfredo. So many of his coworkers sang his praises and I am so happy my children got to have that time with him. Thank you, Alfredo, for keeping them safe and making their first (and second!) white water rafting trips such wonderful experiences!

Did the full day rafting, 20 miles of fun times! Mickey was fantastic as our guide, the Royal Gorge was wild, what rafting should be! Was after the flood warnings, so was higher than normal. Have heard the first half is typically calmer at normal water levels.
-
We had the best time! They took extra time and care with our 8 year old and showed him all the sights. Highly recommended!
-
Alfredo and Jeff was great guides. Communication was on point and the trip was extremely fun! All guides we were around were in great moods and helpful.
