We had a great experience. Kelly is very attentive and organized in the office. Their equipment including the wet suits were great. Stephen was a fantastic guide. His knowledge of the river was incredible. Stephen was also a pleasure just having in the raft. It was like he was part of our group.

Can’t say enough wonderful things about Lost Paddle rafting. Our previous family rafting experience has been family floats on the Delaware river. We booked the full day through both Bighorn and Royal Gorge. A lazy float this trip is not. We booked last minute and Kelly accommodated all of our requests, including getting food to suit our very picky kids with dietary restrictions. We were a family of five and our youngest is 12 years old. Everyone was excited but maybe a little nervous about the Class IV+ rapids. All the guides were great but we lucked out getting Tyler, who could pilot the river blindfolded. He explained every rapid and maneuver in advance and expertly executed each twist. He also showed us great jumping spots which the kids loved. It’s a fantastic trip that was exciting the whole way down with incredible scenery through the Gorge. If you are lucky enough to find Lost Paddle don‘t hesitate - book them and ask for Tyler.

Kelly and crew were amazing! All river guides are so good. They know every inch of the river. They give you such good instructions. Itvwas my first time and I felt like a pro. Would definitely go back and use Lost paddle river rafting

Lost Paddle is not only a local small business, their guides are the best in the business! We are repeat customers because of the attention and care the entire staff, including the resident dog, gives to guests. Kudos to leadership for hiring interesting, skilled guides who not only kept us safe, but provided a fun experience! Jacob is the best!

Awesome experience! Tyler was an absolutely wonderful guide taking us down the river! Got into a few challenging situations on the river but his experience and cool demeanor carried us through! He probably won't remember us, but we will remember him, he is definitely a part of our family memories now! :):)

This was my 3rd time to take this trip, and it did not disappoint. Our guide was V this year, and she did a wonderful job, as did the rest of the staff. I look forward to going back next year.. V, good luck with your adventures, and thank you for a good time. Dale (Phil and Dave) from Texas.

Awesome day out! Kelly and Nicki were excellent guides. They knew the river, the fauna and area. Thank you for a great adventure!

This was the single best day of my life! The water was FAST, FIERCE AND COLD! The guides went above and beyond. Even the dang food was great! Fresh cool fruit and make your own sandwiches, which I personally appreciated not being pre-assembled! Lots of personabilty but mostly just a ton of fun! Courteous, professional, prompt and excellent customer service. 15/10 highly recommended

We had two different guides but both of our guides were excellent. Kelly was our guide for Big Horn Sheep Canyon. She was great getting the family to work together as a single unit. She was very knowledgeable about the river and the surrounding area. Hunter was out guide for the afternoon run through the Royal Gorge. He helped us fine tune our paddling to get the most out of each stroke of the paddle. He provided a great deal of information about that section of the river and its surrounding areas. The rapids in the gorge were challenging but we were able to make it through successfully without losing anyone out of the boat. There were some questionable hits but we were able to power through them. All of the guides were willing to provide as much information as you were willing to take in. The office/gift shop area is not very large but it is big enough for a base of operations. We also spent our lunch break with Maddy. She provided activities that we could do throughout our stay in Cañon City. I would definitely come back to raft with Lost Paddle Rafting again.
