Great trip down the river
Charlie_B, Jul 2023
Tyler was our guide. We had an amazing time going down the river. We had 4 other people the raft with us, everyone seemed to have a great time. We received a call about a week before our scheduled day, to see if we would like to go at a different time, due to having a large group scheduled at the same time. I’m glad they gave us that option, made for a better trip down the river. Would recommend them to anyone wanting to take a rafting trip. Everyone was friendly.

I did this trip with my 13 year old twin grandsons. They thoroughly enjoyed it. The guides were professional, the water was challenging and the experience was something special.

What an amazing time! Tyler was our guide and he was very informative about safety, how to paddle, and pointed out a lot of cool things in the gorge. This was definitely a highlight of our Colorado vacation and highly recommend Lost Paddle.

We would DEFINITELY book another rafting trip with this company!

There were 3 of us on this trip (two of us in our 50's, and our 16yo son), so we were teamed up with a young couple to make a full boat. Will was our guide, and he was FANTASTIC! We had booked through a third party that did not give us guidance on when to show up, so we were technically "late." How embarrassing! But Will and Autumn (front desk) were soooo nice about it. I think most of the guides that I saw that day were very concerned about keeping their guests safe, but Will gave really really clear instructions when we needed to re-anchor our feet to be ready for drops, etc. so I always felt safe. Will even gave us an up-close-and-personal experience with Carrot Top Rock which touched my heart (blah ha ha ha). The experience was easy and fun from start to finish, and my 16 yo rated it higher than anything we have done so far (e.g. Terror-dactyl, Pikes Peak train ride, Garden of the Gods). I know there are a lot of companies who could take you on this tour, but Lost Paddle was top-notch (btw, the guide in the other Lost Paddle boat that teamed up with us was Chris...and from what I could tell, he was cut from the same cloth as Will.)

Great Trip though Royal Gorge Colorado
Bill_M, Jul 2021
Awesome! Our Guide, Johnny White Water, was amazing. Not taking the conventional path down Royal Gorge, we instead were treated to a free-style ride through class 3 & 4 rapids and we all survived! It was great trip and we all felt safe while enjoying the adrenaliin rushes. Lost Paddle Rafting is small and rustic but it is the guides that make it work. TEN STARS!

Wow! Perfect half day rafting experience for our family of 5. Perfect amount of adrenaline and bonus if cliff jump and “surfing”. Will do again!
