Trip Itinerary

Pre-Trip

Plan to arrive in Flagstaff at least one day before your trip departs. A representative from Arizona River Runners will meet guests early in the morning on the first day of your trip in the lobby of the designated hotel. We will send hotel reservation instructions once you book your trip.

Day 1

Meet a representative early in the morning at the designated hotel in Flagstaff. Board the shuttle for the scenic 2.5-hour drive to Marble Canyon. Everyone will meet together with the river guides for orientation. Guests repack into the provided dry bags and get underway by mid-morning. Let the journey begin!

River Days

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 canyon walls, appreciate a good night’s rest under a starry sky.

These trips are typically split into three different trip options. We will have guests like you 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.

Final Day

Enjoy one final riverside meal amidst the Grand Canyon backdrop. After breakfast, pack up camp, load the rafts, and boat to Diamond Creek. You will ride on a bus for about an hour along a rough dirt road to the main highway in Peach Springs, AZ, where you transfer to an air-conditioned shuttle that will return you to the designated hotel in Flagstaff. Plan to arrive at your final destination mid to late afternoon.

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

No question too small!
