Very family friendly
We highly recommend Rivers & Oceans if you are considering a raft trip in the Grand Canyon.
Unforgettable Experience!
The guides made the trip an absolute blast! They made sure we had an unforgettable experience and were very knowledgeable about the canyon and river.
Fantastic experience!
The guides were incredibly fun and engaging, but still left us alone when we wanted to just chill. It was the perfect balance of interaction and being left alone. They were able to answer questions that we had and provided a fun experience. Before rafting, they sent out great information via email and via phone calls, were incredibly helpful, and pleasant to work with. I am happy with our trip, but recommend to bring multiple batteries for a GoPro (if applicable) or a battery pack for your phone because you’ll be taking a lot of pictures and videos due to the beauty of the scenery. I also recommend at least 1 whole bottle of sunscreen per person.

Sun Protection while Whitewater Rafting
When planning a rafting trip through the canyon, it’s important to consider how to best protect yourself from the sun. The combination of all day exposure and reflected sunlight off the water can be intense. Proper protection allows you to get the most out of your trip and avoid sunburn, heat exhaustion, or even skin damage.
