The rafts which undulated like in a dance with the rapids and waterproof luggage bags were made out of impressive rubber. We felt absolutely safe and were freed of worries to enjoy the scenery as we floated on the river. We loved sleeping under the stars to the sound of the rapids (no need for earplugs!). When the nearly full moon peaked over the canyon, it woke us up to a ethereal scene around us! My husband was happy to get enough food (very good!) to keep him full till snacks (protein bars/fresh fruit) were brought out. Our favorite stops were cliff jumping and going under the little canyon waterfall. We enjoyed sitting around in the evenings listening to our inspiring and knowledgeable canyon guides and visiting with our rafting mates with whom we bonded to quickly. While it was very hot (100+), we were cooled as we dipped/swam in the river. Getting splashed with the 48* water as we rafted through rapids was both shocking and cooling at once. Our nights were not as hot as anticipated so did not dip our sheets in the river. Sadly, we left our beloved water bottles (a definite must in our air-boat ride) clipped to the raft. However, when I called two days later, the staff located them and sent them back to us! If you enjoy camping out, this trip is a must. read less

During that time they were very helpful and remained that way all the way through the planning process and on the trip itself. Our guides were GREAT as was the food and gear. This was my 4th trip rafting through the Canyon and I am in my 81st year of life so my abilities to take some of the difficult hikes was limited but since I had previously done them, I had some enjoyable time doing some exploring the areas the raft stopped at. We had a party of 14 family members ranging in age from 10 years old up to my age. I would certainly highly recommend this company for their service and the great experience they provided. Note that this is not a trip without some risk as my Significant Other did get seriously hurt on one of the rapids and she has had two surgeries and is still in major pain with a projected recovery time of 2 to 3 months. That said, this could happen on any company's rafts and the risk of injury is not high and the fun factor is worth the risk (unless of course, you are the one injured). Do this trip at least once in your lifetime or you will miss one of the greatest experiences you can have and also enjoy the wonderful beauty of this great canyon. read less

Just do it Wanted to do this for years and finally did. A spectacular magnificent adventure. These guys put on a first-class trip.

We went with Arizona River Runners who did a great job. Our guides, Brian, Zach and Holly were very capable and knowledgeable. They led us on treks up canyons to see waterfalls and archaeological sites. Their mastery running rapids made for an exiting trip and they provide a lot of info on the history and geology of the canyon. We were really impressed with the organization and logistics. All our needs were anticipated and met. Food was great. Highly recommend, read less

I have made a number of other hiking trips in and around the Grand Canyon, but nothing is even close to the experience of rafting it. Being down at the water level is the most amazing way to get a sense of this amazing place. Also, we had plenty of time for side canyon excursions - from 1 to 3 per day. Our crew did a phenomenal job keeping us safe, well-fed, informed, and entertained. Kudos to Marty, Julia, Tristan, and Butch for taking us on the trip of a lifetime! read less

The crew is very knowledgeable about the river, the Grand Canyon and the native history. It was a pleasure to have them share that with us. What an adventure it was to be on the river and camp under the stars! Everyone in our party had a fabulous time! read less
