Passenger Reviews

Choosing a company for your Grand Canyon adventure isn’t easy, and we admit we’re more than slightly biased recommending Arizona River Runners. But don’t just take it from us, see what others are saying.

We often hear from guests that it is difficult to find the words to explain their experience. As John Wesley Powell said, “the wonders of the Grand Canyon cannot be adequately represented in symbols of speech, nor by speech itself.” Thankfully, many people have done their best to describe their journey and thoughts with potential guests. We hope their words help paint a picture of what awaits you in the canyon.

Felt very safe throughout, boat guides were friendly and knowledgeable and fellow guests were all fun to be around! Camping out at night was everything that I wished for, under the stars, lovely and warm. Everyone is expected to help set up camp every day and wash their own dishes but the whole process seemed to work very well! Camping in the wild, was actually quite civilized!
Every staff member I interacted with was very friendly, from the office through to the boat guides a great team ..even old cranky Jimmy ..old man river himself!
Would definitely recommend both the experience and this company to anyone! read less

The Office Staff was extremely helpful in making sure I was packing the right things and they were very thorough and focused about accommodating my medical condition and diet. The Guides were amazing and worked so hard to make the experience a memorable trip of a lifetime. It was a fantastic trip with a great company. read less

Everyone was an adventurer and enjoyed the outdoors and all the experiences it brings. The website prepares you for everything you should bring so do watch the videos too. The hike downhill is challenging but you can conquer it with training, poles and a weighted backpack with at least 20-25 pounds. read less

Our guides were knowledgeable, easy to work with, and brought great positive energy. Every piece of our trip went so smoothly - which was so impressive by the end considering how much planning and coordination goes into these trips. We especially loved our time at the Bar Ten Ranch and that crew was also awesome, sleep in the covered wagons if you can, wonderful experience!

We highly recommend Arizona River Runners and already thinking about future trips with them! read less
