Passenger Reviews

Group photo of people smilingChoosing 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.

5 star ratingRemarkable 6 days Bian, Brie, Page and Reed were first and foremost very professional but also just a great deal of fun. Along with the very good food and most important the scenery this was a remarkable experience for my kids, our friends, and myself and we have been on many good trips. The jokes need some work but the knowledge of the Canyon and it's history was noteworthy as well. We highly recommend for anyone looking for a unique experience. Thanks to all including the very helpful office staff.

5 star ratingEverything we hoped for and more... Rafting the Grand Canyon has been on my bucket list for at least 50 years. After searching a range of options this year, we were impressed with the high reviews registered for ARR so we booked with them. The trip was simply awesome in every aspect: equipment, itinerary, the food, staff knowledge and skill, the scenery, and, did I mention the food?!

I can't imagine how the trip could have been any better and I'm very satisfied with the choice of ARR for this once in a lifetime experience.

5 star ratingAmazing Adventure with Arizona River Runners We had the most incredible experience rafting with Arizona River Runners this season! From start to finish, the trip was organized, fun, and perfectly executed. The guides were knowledgeable, personable, and went above and beyond to make everyone feel safe and engaged.

The canyon's breathtaking beauty is unforgettable, and the team's passion for preserving and sharing this wonder made it even more special. The meals were delicious, the equipment was top-notch, and the camaraderie we built with our group was truly unique.

We were on a 3-day trip at the end of June 2024, and I can't recommend it highly enough for anyone looking to experience the Grand Canyon in the best way possible.

Thank you, Arizona River Runners, for the adventure of a lifetime! I can't wait to come back for another trip.

5 star ratingInsane! Insane!
Its been 8 months since my complete 281 mile complete Grand Canyon white water rafting experience, I constantly find myself day dreaming about the adventure. The amazing guides on our trip made sure we alert to safty protocols, well hydrated & kept up on nutritional needs. I couldn't believe the excellent food provided, grilled salmon, chicken, rib eyes & my favorite meal was the duch oven lasangna. Breakfast, lunch, dinner & constant snacks.
At the orientation before our trip the boatsman/woman Rilley said "look around you, 28 stranger's, after the trip you'll know everyone intimately. Boy she was spot on! Sleeping, dressing, bathing, standing side by side in the river relieving ourselves & of course the infamous "GROVER". Trying to explain the majestic beauty through bottom of the Grand Canyon is impossible you have to experience it for yourself, no words or pictures will do it justice. Just a side note, our first day out of the Parker Dam launch ramp we hit a set of rapids & everyone was screaming & laughing, we couldn't belive we made it through alive. After setting up our first camp that evening all we talked about was the insane rapids we went through that day you ain't seen nothing yet.

5 star ratingTrip of a lifetime We went in July with the whole family. Very hot but the water was refreshing. Our guides were amazing. We only took the two days trip but will come back for the longer trip. Very experienced and charismatic guides who go the extra mile for their clients!
