Grand Canyon 1 Day Rafting Trip
Most worthwhile tour I took while in the Grand Canyon – absolutely awesome!
Incredible Guides
Our Guides Leonard and Jordan were absolutely amazing and the wealth of knowledge between them was vast. Next time I go I wouldn’t want anyone else to guide us.
Had a blast!
This was a well organized group. The trip was amazing and they did a great job of putting kids from different families together so they had friends to play with during breaks. My son and I had a blast and can’t wait to do a longer trip!
So glad I went!
I was hesitant about my ability to be able to keep up with the rigors of white water rafting because of my physical disability. I was totally wrong. It was so much fun and the guides were very patient with me in our little walks to the falls.
Absolutely worth every penny!
I have been to The Grand Canyon South 4 times before. This was SO MUCH BETTER!!!! Take sunscreen and a hat.
Thoroughly enjoyed
From start to finish a very easy experience. We thoroughly enjoyed all of the employees from the bus driver to the river guides. Victor was amazing I would ask for him the next time I go. Very professional and also very Concerned about the safety of everyone throughout the trip. They worked together as a team for everyone’s enjoyment and safety.
This trip was amazing!!!!!!
Totally worth the money!! We basically left thinking we would do it again!! It’s adventurous, so much fun, and an experience you’ll remember for life. You get to experience the Grand Canyon from below and the canyon walls just completely tower over with their magnitude and beauty. The Colorado River was amazing from it’s greenish/blueish tones to the exciting whitewaters and then the calm part towards the end- and Yes it’s Cold, but in the hot day, the water felt pretty refreshing. The trip was also not so physically demanding, the hike to the waterfall was quick (and one of my favorites parts), you do have to climb, but the level of exertion is really low (do take shoes that won’t slip). We didn’t have the option to do the helicopter because of COVID, but I think we would’ve liked that experience because at the end the boat trip does get a bit lengthy and one gets to get a little tired. All the guides were very friendly and they’re great at pointing out interesting parts of the canyon and it’s history, along with any wildlife (we got Lucky and we saw 2 packs of bighorn sheep (male & female) ; once in the canyon and another one by the river drinking. Oh and we also saw deer on the bus ride down to the canyon). I would definitely recommend this trip to anyone who wants to experience a bit more of the Grand Canyon and have a fun adventure! P.S. you’re gonna get soaked and it’s so worth it!

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.
