Very satisfied.

Even though the water was low, we had a great time on the royal gorge half day trip. We have used larger companies before but we much preferred using this smaller local company instead and we will book with them in the future. Everything went well and there were no issues even though we had to modify our reservation. Our guide, Carter, was very knowledgeable and demonstrated expertise in all that he did. On the slow sections he gave us a lot of history about the gorge which was very cool to hear about. Please book with Lost Paddle, you won’t regret it.

Awesome Experience

We had Carter as our rafting guide and had an amazing time! This company is amazing, very intentional, kind, friendly, and thoughtful, making us feel like family. We had a blast rafting, swimming, and cliff jumping! We would definitely recommend this place, as well as booking with Carter. He was so much fun, kind, and welcoming!

A really great experience and value

We rafted the Gorge when the water was extremely low. At first thought, that doesn’t sound fun - but our guide had us doing very technical moves to avoid large boulders that were exposed due to the water level. Our guide also provided us a ton of knowledge regarding the sights, local restaurants and just great conversation. We had a ton of fun and I wouldn’t think twice to recommend this company.

Love Lost Paddle. Been with them twice and they are the best. This time Kyle and Carter were our guides and they went the extra mile to make sure we had a amazing adventure. They even took some pictures of us while rafting and shared them on Google.

Epic adventure perfectly executed

Kyle was our guide. It was perfect. Had an absolute blast. Kyle did incredible. Beyond pleased he was our guide. From booking on line with Kelly and the team, to arriving and getting fitted for jackets and helmets the shuttle was quick and easy. The water was excellent. Couldn’t have asked for a better time. Will be booking again with lost paddle and will be requesting Kyle.
