Trip Itinerary

Pre-Trip

Plan to arrive in Las Vegas at least one day before your trip starts. Consider staying at the Desert Rose Resort where a representative will pick guests up early in the morning on the first day.

Day 1

Guests will meet a representative early in the morning at the Desert Rose Resort. Board the shuttle and transfer to Marble Canyon. Meet the river guides in the building across from the Marble Canyon Lodge. After an orientation, guests board shuttles for a brief ride to the launch point at Lee’s Ferry. Guests will be assigned two dry bags and a life jacket, then are ready to get underway by late morning. Let the journey begin!

Day 2–12

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 oar 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.

Day 13

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.

What people say

“Best vacation of my life! The people, the food, and the water I will never be able to forget.”
— Eli, Lafayette, IN

“As a returning passenger, I often wonder what will be new about this trip. The canyon, the boatmen, and my fellow passengers always come up with something. This time my new things included petroglyphs, major changes at Saddle Canyon, different fossils here and there, a wedding at Stone Creek, a different line through Crystal, handprints high on the wall at the Patio... I cannot wait until next year!”
— Gary, Oxford, ME
