Holiday River Expeditions operates in the gorgeous Colorado Plateau and its surrounding areas.
The Colorado Plateau is a landscape like no other on the planet. We explore all of its major rivers. The awesome sandstone and thrilling whitewater of the Colorado. The majesty and cool waters of the Green. The historical and geological marvel of the San Juan. The wild, winding, whimsical Yampa. They are the life force of this desert wonderland and their canyons can offer a multitude of transcendent experiences. Places like Canyonlands National Park, containing The Maze and the White Rim, are playgrounds for desert adventurers. If magic exists in this world, it is abundant throughout the plateau, beckoning you to connect, explore, and go with the flow!
Explore The Environment.
We have grown our river rafting operation with quality staff and gear to get to all of the best escapes across the Colorado Plateau and beyond.
Our diverse trip options allow us to set you and your friends & family up for unforgettable experiences, whether it’s whitewater rafting trips in Utah, Colorado, and Idaho, or mountain biking in the desert and mountains of Moab.

60 Years of Going With the Flow!
From the Holiday family to all of our guests over the decades: Thank you for making us the company we are today! Here’s to many more years of joyful moments shared in wild places!
“The Holiday Way” is more than a catchphrase—it’s a way of life. The Holiday Way is how we interact with the world, both as a business and as human beings. It began with our founders, Dee and Sue Holladay, and their passion for the world around them, and it’s still going strong, 60 years later.
The Holiday Way is going with the flow, running river trips without motors. The rush of the wind, a chatty raven, or a churning rapid are the sounds that will define your trip. It’s award-winning environmental stewardship. It is a family-owned and operated company: big enough to have an impact, but small enough to provide personalized service. It’s well-trained guides who strive to do things the right way, every time. It’s comfortable gear and efficient operations. We’ve had 60 years to design systems and equipment that keep us working at the top of our game.
The Holiday Way is an open invitation to come float with us, to become literate in the landscapes that define us. We believe strongly that the best way to experience the world is by going out into it. “You have to go to know,” Dee always said. We’ll take you there.
