Trinity was a fantastic guide, and our entire family enjoyed the tour. Her humor and delightful stories made it enjoyable. We're looking forward to returning next year.
The day was ideal for exploring the canyon. Our guide, Josh, was outstanding—knowledgeable, patient, and enjoyable to be around. He clearly had expertise in his role. Our group of friends had an excellent day that met all our expectations.
I attended a bachelorette party and was initially scared of the water. However, Tyler was an outstanding guide who completely changed my perspective. I now feel like I could do this every weekend, especially with his encouragement. Caroline was charming and humorous, while Avery showed great patience with our more challenging group members. All the guides were exceptional. I highly recommend this experience.
Avery, our raft guide, was incredibly patient with our group that lacked experience. We had a fantastic time and I would highly suggest this adventure to others.
We visited the area for a bachelorette celebration, and our guide Avery was wonderful. He maintained a calm demeanor with our lively group while also ensuring we took things seriously when required. Avery shared fascinating insights about the landmarks and the history of the railroad war, and he engaged us by asking about our trip and our hometowns.
My son and I enjoyed the Bighorn full day trip, guided by Trinity Alcazar. The experience was incredibly fun, largely thanks to her. Having been on several outdoor adventures before, I can confidently say she's the best guide I've encountered. Ms. Alcazar is engaging, friendly, and completely in control of her craft. She quickly connected with everyone but seamlessly switched to captain mode when we faced the rapids. It was comforting to have her leading us, and we never capsized as she expertly guided us through each rapid.
Henry was fantastic with our group, making the entire day run smoothly from start to finish. We had a great time on the full day Big Horn tour, and lunch was delicious. The 20-mile trek in August wasn't challenging, and both the adults and two high schoolers loved the water and views. Thanks to Henry for an incredible experience.
We enjoyed an amazing day on the river with the Bighorn Canyon Full Day Trip. Our guide, Baker, was incredibly skilled and made the experience fun. My kids, aged 8 and 11, were initially nervous about their first rafting adventure, but Baker’s expertise and support helped them thoroughly enjoy it and they’re eager to return. We joined a group of four boats, all accompanied by outstanding guides. Echo Canyon is definitely a top choice for rafting! We had a flawless experience and if you're looking for accommodations, the Echo Canyon Royal Gorge Cabins are truly wonderful.
Echo Canyon River Expeditions truly surpassed our expectations. It was our first whitewater adventure as a family, with our kids aged 13 and 15, and we loved it. The facilities were immaculate and organized, and the staff was both helpful and welcoming. Our guide, Avery, was outstanding—he prioritized our safety and ensured we all had a wonderful, unforgettable experience. We will certainly return and choose Echo Canyon River Expeditions again.
Excellent experience! Wilco One was an outstanding guide during our full-day rafting trip. He was knowledgeable, attentive to everyone’s needs, and shared interesting local history. He ensured that the three younger participants had a fantastic time. It’s a perfect mix of adventure and downtime. A big thank you to Ben for assisting a fellow Englishman with his error. A great team overall!
