Holiday River has a New Logo

Holiday has a new logo. At the core of our expeditions on the rivers and trails of the West is the interaction between the human spirit and the natural world. A connection between us and the wild places we take our rafts and mountain bikes is already there. To find it Holiday River’s guides first take care of their guest’s safety and comfort. That opens the door to relaxing, exploring and just spending time in stunningly beautiful places. On our trips by lending a helping hand Holiday expeditions reunite the human spirit with the natural world.

Our Commitment to Real Change

Recently ResponsibleTravel.com, a leading world wide travel agent, made the decision to abandon their Carbon offset program sighting the importance of making real changes rather than purchasing offsets. Years ago Holiday Expeditions opted not to follow the popular “offset” trend, but rather to champion the individual and the company’s creativity and willingness to change. True change can only happen through the act of reducing and reusing in your day to day practices.

Our rafting and biking trip guests get to see and experience the examples of our efforts to make real change when they meet us at our headquarters in Green River and Vernal, UT. This summer we installed a new rain gutter system to increase efforts to capture rain water for grey water use. We already had one grey water system in place but saw this as yet one more opportunity to conserve and cut back on traditional, local water consumption. Overall water use was cut by 8% in a year that we actually did more business. Water wise native landscaping, making our own ice efficiently, more infrequent van washing and new front load water saving washing machines are also included in our everyday efforts. The challenge is on going but we feel we’re up to it and making real changes one step at a time.
