Our Commitment to Accessibility
At Raft Masters in Canon City, Colorado, we believe that adventure on the Arkansas River and throughout the Royal Gorge region should be accessible to everyone. We are committed to creating an inclusive, and welcoming experience for guests of all abilities. Whether you are planning your first Colorado rafting trip or are a seasoned adventurer, our team is here to help you feel confident and supported every step of the way.
We strive to provide meaningful access to our experiences for individuals with disabilities and mobility limitations. Our team works closely with guests to understand specific needs and determine the best ways we can accommodate them.
We encourage open communication prior to your visit so we can ensure the best possible experience.
Physical Accessibility
While outdoor adventure activities can present unique challenges, we make every effort to accommodate guests with physical disabilities whenever possible.
- Assistance with entering and exiting rafts
- Flexible seating arrangements based on needs
- Additional staff support when needed
- Clear communication about trip difficulty and physical requirements
Please note that river conditions, water levels, and terrain can vary, which may impact accessibility on certain trips. Our team will work with you to find the most suitable option.
Guests with Limited Mobility
We welcome guests with limited mobility and will do our best to adapt experiences accordingly. If you use a mobility aid (such as a cane, walker, or wheelchair), please let us know in advance so we can plan appropriately.
Depending on the trip, certain areas (such as riverbanks or loading zones) may include uneven terrain. We will provide guidance and assistance to help navigate these areas safely.
Sensory & Cognitive Considerations
We understand that accessibility goes beyond physical needs. Our team is happy to support guests with sensory sensitivities or cognitive disabilities.
- Clear pre-trip communication and expectations
- Patient, supportive guides trained to provide instructions in multiple ways
- Flexible pacing when possible
If there are specific concerns or accommodations that would improve your experience, we encourage you to share them with us ahead of time.

Dietary Accommodations
We offer vegetarian meal substitutions for guests who request them in advance. If you have additional dietary restrictions or allergies, please let us know when booking so we can do our best to accommodate your needs.
