Trip Itinerary
All guests should spend the night in Las Vegas before trip. We will advise guests on reservation instructions for the designated Las Vegas hotel when you book your river trip.
Meet in the designated hotel in Las Vegas early in the morning to board the shuttle bus for the scenic five hour drive to Marble Canyon. Once you arrive in Marble Canyon, you'll meet the guides, have orientation, and re-pack into our provided dry bags and load the rafts to begin the adventure!
Each day there are opportunities to soak up the Grand Canyon vistas, experience the biggest whitewater in North America, and explore various side canyons, waterfalls, and streams. At midday, lunch is prepared on the sandy beaches next to the river. After a full day, it will be time to set up camp and then relax while sharing stories with new friends. As the sun sets over the walls of the canyon, appreciate a good night’s rest under a starry sky.
Our hiker's special trips are typically split into three different trip options. We will have guests like you join us to raft through the full canyon, whereas others are only signed up for part of the trip. About halfway through, there will be an exchange of guests. Some will hike out of the canyon via the Bright Angel Trail and others will hike in to meet you on the river. Please expect some downtime on this day while we welcome our new passengers.
Enjoy one final riverside meal amidst the Grand Canyon backdrop. After breakfast, pack up camp, load the raft, and boat to Diamond Creek. From there guests will ride a bus to Peach Springs, AZ. An air-conditioned charter bus will be waiting to return guests to Las Vegas, NV if you select that transportation option.
