Amazing Experience What an amazing, life changing experience is was to spend 7 days and 6 nights rafting down the Colorado River through 188 miles of the Grand Canyon National Park. Every bend brought incredible views and the numerous side hikes and adventures were all spectacular. Every meal was a delicious experience - all made from scratch from fresh ingredients!

Our trip leader, and raft pilot for the majority of the days, Tristan, is just an amazing individual. This was his 121st trip down the canyon and his experience shined through. He made us feel totally safe in even the most challenging "10" rapids. He had incredible knowledge of every aspect of the canyon, including its history and geography that he shared at key points during our trip down the canyon. His leadership of his team of three other outstanding individuals, and us 28 guests, was a world-class example of how to do it right and do it well.

We were so pleased that we had made the correct decision to choose Arizona River Runners as our rafting company. Their rafts and equipment were all top-notch and their superior boat configuration allowed us to be able to lean against the gear with our back supported to comfortably relax and just watch the canyon walls scroll by.

Thank you, Tristan, Coleman and Emily for an unforgettable experience!

The Best Grand Canyon Trip! Arizona River Runners are the best. It was an amazing experience and our guide Kelly was the very best as were the boat captains!

Great Experience This trip was an adventure of a lifetime. We'll planned out, excellent care and professional guidance. We enjoyed every minute.

Lower Grand Canyon Rafting Plan ahead, it takes at least 1.5 to 2 years to schedule this trip. It is AWESOME! Follow their advice regarding what to bring. I used my cell phone as a camera. Took an extra battery to charge it. Didn't need a tent. Be situationally aware, there is so much awesomeness to experience. Don't be in a hurry. Be generous with your tip, these people will earn your trust, guide well, and serve you tirelessly. Even getting up in the middle of the night to rescue you from a snake!

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..

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.

Birthday Trip. Great trip for myself an my son. My son celebrated his 40th birthday in the canyon. This was the trip of my life.

Gotta try it ! Awesome view from the Canyon bottom , Mother Nature and millions of years in the making. Put it on your bucket list.

Best decision of 2025! Top Notch from start to finish. Would recommend to anyone. You won’t regret booking this trip. Just do it!
