Passenger Reviews

New River Rat and Camper!! I'm not much of a camper but Arizona River Runners provided a very well executed 11 day trip. After day 2 I forgot about the my life and became completely immersed in the trip and sharing this adventure with the other people on the trip. WOW! WOW! WOW!

Arizona River Runners: Adventure, History, Fun, Frienship, and Food This trip is worth every single penny spent and more. The entire team at Arizona River Runners is amazing. The guides who gots us down were very knowledgable, patient, fun, and just top notch at what they do. The office staff is also great (especially handle multiole calls from my loved ones to make sure I was okay after a news report there was an incident in the canyon that week). You eat like kings and queens, get to experience some great rapids and ripples, and some side adventures along the way. The 7-day trip is perfection! You get the whole canyon and a fun short helicopter ride out with some spectacular views to boot. We got very lucky, I believe the tour holds around 24 seats (about 12 people per boat) and we only had a total of 12 which I loved. Our group really got to know each other and it was more intimate. I would still go even if the boats were packed because all the sites are just breathtaking and NEED to be experienced. The cots/sleeping bags were comfy and getting to fall asleep to the milkyway and all the stars was the best. I can't wait to do this again and hope others plan to go too!

Repeat "River Rat" Exceptional attention to detail and customer service

Our first River trip The 7 day trip was fantastic. Words cannot describe how cool this was. The guides Brie and Cloie were fantastic! The food amazing but too much. The river was much colder than anticipated but it was balanced by the canyon temperatures.
The side hikes to the waterfalls were magical.

We Totally Recommend My husband and I were on the river for 3 days with ARR and they were excellent - Teddy and the guys cooked the most delicious food! We ate so good! They were great at navigating the boats and overall we were well pleased! They went above and beyond to make sure we had what we needed to be safe and happy!

Expert guides bring vibes After seven days and six nights you’ll be on a first name basis with the geologic layers of the Grand Canyon, be well fed, make new friends, have exhilarating tales of the rapids, and bountiful beautiful visual memories.

Special thanks to our trip lead: Rachel, our experienced pilot Troy, are journeyman pilot Sam, and our work your way trip rookie (but experienced water man) Alex for making the trip what it was.

The trip was “just the way we like it.”

Whether you are excited about getting banged around and wet in the rapids (sit in the 1-2 front seats) or have trepidation about such an experience (sit in the 7-8 rear seats nicknamed the “Princess Seats” then you should definitely books with Arizona River Runners to experience the Colorado River and Grand Canyon this way.

Scott and Joan Sessions to much fun. Joan and I loved every minute. The guides, the food, the boats and the scenery. All of it.

Epic Trip with an Amazing Company! Epic trip with an amazing company. Bryce, Kendrick, Ronnie, and Kevin went above and beyond to make sure everyone had an incredible time - on the river and in camp. I have already recommended Arizona River Runners to multiple friends and guests at our business. The food was out of this world too. I wish I could give them 100 stars!

Celebrating 60th birthday If you are reading this review and wondering if she should book this trip, the answer is an absolute YES! You will not be disappointed. Every single detail is planned and accounted for with this company. It is an adventure in the purest form. The guides are amazing with their knowledge and skills. You see some beautiful landscape and experience the canyon in a way few people have. When you return, it will all seem surreal as your senses slowly adjust back to everyday life. You will wonder if it was all a breathtaking dream.
