Perfect Trip ! - With some newbies to rafting, we were somewhat scared to go out but our guide Colin was perfect! We had a great time and nobody unwillingly fell into the river! Recommend this trip and the guide ;) -AuBrey

Great trip with my kiddos! - I took my kids on their first rafting experience with Echo and I’m so glad I did! Ryan was a fantastic guide and the trip was exactly what I was hoping for with two small children. We saw a baby black bear and bighorns drinking from the river! It was a memorable trip and I’ll definitely come back solo for the thrill seeking ride down the gorge. Thank you for a great experience today!

Highly Recommended! - First time river rafting, and we had the best time. We had six adults, and all of us loved the experience. ECRE's staff was very competent, friendly, and enthusiastic. Our guide Mackenzie ensured we had a great experience. We will surely book with ECRE on our next trip to CO.

Great rafting experience! - We did the Big Horn Sheep half day raft with our 15 and 13 year old. It was fun but not too rough. We wanted to do the Royal Gorge float but was told the kids needed to be 16 due to high waters. I think that would have been a better option for this age kids. This float had some rapids but young kids could easily manage this. Our guide Dustin was great. Very nice. Our only complaint was they packed the rafts full so every raft had a person who sat in the middle and couldn’t paddle and just about got smoked in the face by everyone’s paddle! They should have brought one more raft to avoid this. They did provide wetsuits as the water temp was 60 degrees. Would definitely do this again but would do the Royal Gorge float for more excitement!
