this river trip was the highlight of our week-long travels throughout arizona. our guide, Kendall, was passionate, funny, thoughtful and informative. we saw Osprey, loads of trout, and breathtaking views. the trip through the 2 mile tunnel to the location was an added unique experience.

This tour was a pleasure, I'm so glad we went on it. Our tour guide was Megan who is a Page local born and raised so she knew a lot about the area and very proud of her beautiful home. We did the am tour (highly recommend especially for the summer) and the pm slot canyon hummer tour (also amazing).... More

The half day Colorado River rafting was a very pleasant and relaxing experience. It added an interesting twist going to the bottom of the Glen Canyon Dam wall, via a very long tunnel. It was a different perspective seeing the damn wall from below. Take note that they didn't tell us when booking that we couldn't take back packs due... More

We took a chance and booked this anyway, despite the detour of highway 89 through the Navajo Nation. The drive from Flagstaff was spectacular and worth every mile of detour. The river trip was fun, especially since our guide was a young man from the local area. He was great with the children on board. The "bistro lunch" was more... More

Did this smooth water rafting trip following a flight over the canyon to Page on 6th June. If you are in the area, then it's a 'must do' Very good guide and fellow raftees made the trip memorable. Lasted over 3 and a half hours in searing heat, but was worth it.

We had a wonderful half-day float trip. The company does a great job of organizing it and the guides are very knowledgeable about the Canyon, the river and ancient drawings on the Canyon wall, also the wildlife in the Canyon. The walls are steep and dramatic and the slow drift of the raft allows lots of time to observe the... More

Just a way of telling your friends "Oh yeah, I did a raft ride down the Colorado River" without having to take out extra life insurance....lol Overall it was a nice trip, the imensity of the canyon surrounds you as you drift at a leisurly pace down river from the base of Glen Canyon Dam. Due to the road closure... More

We did the rafting in the morning and then kayaking in the afternoon. The combination provided two opposite, but interesting activities. The placid and sedate raft ride was through outstanding scenery between the impressive and steep canyon walls. The river guide provided continuous amounts of interesting and informative information about the flora, fauna, and geological features of the canyon. The... More
