We had an absolutely incredible experience with Grand Canyon White Water! From start to finish, everything was exceptionally organized, professional, and memorable. The guides (Bryce, Troy, Sam & James) were knowledgeable, fun, and made us feel completely safe while also making the trip exciting and unforgettable. The scenery was beyond breathtaking — seeing the Grand Canyon from the river gives you a completely different appreciation for its beauty and scale. Every part of the experience felt thoughtfully planned, and the staff went above and beyond to make sure everyone had a great time. This was truly a bucket-list adventure for my husband and I and one we will be talking about for years. Highly recommend!

We had a fantastic 7 day trip rafting down the Colorado River! The guides were knowledgeable and a pleasure to spend time with and we quickly became friends with the other guests. Seeing the canyon, in all its beauty, and riding the rapids is an experience not to be forgotten.The food and the snacks were great too.

What an experience. 10 Day motor. With Matt, Dean, Blake, and Anna. Day 1 started with rain and a short raft. Great beach party until wind came up. Managed and had an awesome salmon dinner. The crew were great leaders, chefs 👨🍳, and seekers of suitable lunch and camp sites. With multiple levels of physical abilities this was key for amenity set ups. Day 2 brought cold water and rain. Again we endured the raging white water from the river and the drops from the sky. Matt and Dean were great story tellers and historians. I think Blake and Anna had the same stories. We ad opportunities to challenge ourselves throughout the trip with 22 passengers plus the kitchen, food, and other essentials, a Fireside brought creativity and new words: 'cot' ya, 'tent'alizing..tantalizing... etc. I was able to kayak a short distance as were others. Stake dinner to order with simulated campfire was a nice closure for the last night. Our group found new friends amongst ourselves and with our hosts. Wish I were there again already. Looking forward to the next time. Thank you for helping me discover more of my Abilities. Toni

What an adventure!! I did the 4 day motorized trip with a hike out on Bright Angel Trail. The guides made this trip so fantastic. The canyon is beautiful and the rapids were so fun but it's the guides who really made the trip outstanding. They've got such a great system set up and I've never enjoyed sleeping on a cot so much. The guides took such good care of us. We were well fed and the days on the river were always safe and fun. Highly recommend
