Trip Itinerary
Plan to arrive in Las Vegas the day before your trip. We will advise guests on reservation instructions for the designated Las Vegas hotel when you book your river trip.
An Arizona River Runners representative will meet you in at the designated hotel early in the morning. You will load your gear into the charter bus, grab a bagged breakfast (provided), and be boarded for a prompt departure. It is approximately a 5 hour, scenic bus ride with at least one rest stop. Once you arrive, the guides will provide an orientation, dry bags, and life jackets before heading down river.
Each of our river trips are different. This is a good thing! Guides customize trips based on the dynamics of the group, availability, and weather, but just know that this trip will include: hikes to hidden canyons, famous whitewater rafting, serene Grand Canyon vistas, hearty food, and great people!
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.
