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 rating Couldn't have been better The 11 day hikers' special was an amazing way to see most of the river ( and most of the rapids) and so many amazing places that can really only be reached from the river. ARR took such good care of me and everyone else. The guides were excellent beyond description, the insights about the canyon and river were wonderful, the hikes provided so many lasting memories, and the comraderie and good will were awesome. I couldn't have enjoyed this trip more, and I couldn't recommend it more strongly. It is not for the faint of heart, but was fine for a bunch of 65+ in good physical condition.. - 12/11/2025

5 star rating Great grandparent grandchild trip!!! Have taken 3 trips with ARR with 3 different grandchildren when they had their 16th birthday. FANTASTIC! This 78 year old gma even did the cliff jumping and each grand child requested this trip after hearing about it from their cousin. Do it! It's wonderfully planned and executed. - 12/11/2025

5 star rating Great Raft Trip down the Canyon Even with very hot weather, ARR made the trip fun and enjoyable. We had days approaching 115 degrees. The ARR Trip Leader was so good, she brought us to great camps with shade so that we could enjoy the sweltering day! great food, efficient, friendly. A great experience. - 12/11/2025

5 star rating They are the best Have gone down the river and through the canyon twice with ARR. There was never any concern before or during the trip that things would not work out for the best. Boatmen could not have been better. Can move with confidence when ARR is involved, whether on or off the water. They know the water and the canyon. - 12/11/2025

5 star rating A great ride with a view! A truly memorable rafting trip with my family that we will cherish for years to come. Everyone in the family thought the same thing - even a teenager after the first day! The guides and food were fantastic. The guides took good care of us to ensure we had a good trip. I would recommend. - 11/26/2025
