River Runners Riverside Rafting Resort

My partner and I went on the half day trip through Brown's Canyon this morning. I had never rafted before, and was a little nervous. We had a really big group (8 rafts full), but the guide that we got was fabulous. Andrea was totally knowledgable, with eight years river guide experience, and four on the Arkansas. I had a blast!! I think your experience really depends on everyone in the raft really working as a team, and our group worked well together. Andrea guided us through the rapids, and most of the time we hit them in just the perfect spot, with lots of drops and spins. I just can't wait to try it again. In fact, we purchased another trip with River Runners through the Royal Gorge to use next year. They were really organized, and I felt safe and taken care of.  Highly recommend!!
My only comment is that I really wish the pictures you can buy weren't so expensive. ($25 for one, and $50 for all the pics of your boat) I would never pay that much for a couple of pictures...

Did the full day Brown's Canyon today. Picked River Runners because the price and location was right. After that, just expecting a crap shoot. Well, we rolled double sevens. Our guide was Jason, and he's been on the river for 20 years. It shows. He was the most outstanding guide ever. He was knowledgeable about the river and the wildlife we saw. He was simply a font of information. He gauged the temper of our tour perfectly and knew exactly what we were after. Then he tailored our experience. The river was not overly high, but we did have a good amount of water (appr. 750 fps) and Jason used it to its maximum. I'm firmly convinced that our experience would not have been the same without Jason. The rapids we did encounter were maximized. He knew I could make a 30' jump into the water no problem and didn't stop me from attempting it. He knew we had a 7 yr-old at the prow of the boat and kept checking to make sure the journey wasn't too intense for him. We're looking forward to a more intense ride next time and I'll not do it without River Runners and Jason. I only wish we had more than $80 to tip him. He's worth far more.

My family of five recently used river runners for our rafting trip. After scouring the Internet looking for the best option we went with River Runner and it was absolutely perfect. By far the best choice. Due to our children's ages we did two rafting rides: one adult and the two younger kids did the family's float and the other adult and teenager did the half day browns canyon tour. The family float finished about an hour before the half day- so dad and kids hung out at the riverside grill and bar. The kids played in the sand pit with the toys and dad had some food and drinks. The scenery is amazing and service was outstanding. Alex was the tour guide for the half day and he was outstanding. We all had a blast! Highly recommend and if we are ever back out in the area we will return!
Thank you for a fantastic day of fun. Our kids are still talking about it! Greg & Heather Pincelli
