Half-Day Rafting Trips

Half Day rafting trips are great for first time whitewater rafters or those who would just like a taste of whitewater rafting on the Arkansas River! We provide two different half day trips to choose from. Our Bighorn Sheep Canyon half day rafting trip offers beginner class III rapids, great for kids and fun for the whole family!  For those of you wanting a little more action we offer our Royal Gorge half day trip, advanced class IV-V rapids & guaranteed to get you soaked! Half Day Trips run ~3 hours depending on water levels. Both trips are 10 miles in length and we always take the time to swim and jump off some rocks . Follow the paddle links above for detailed trip information on both of these classic Colorado whitewater trips, or scroll down for raft options.
