Whitewater Rafting Trips in the Upper or Lower Grand Canyon
The ultimate bucket list river trip, Grand Canyon whitewater rafting trips are a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. The view from the rim is spectacular, but the view from a raft is even better. The river and the canyon are a world unto themselves. Discover fascinating geology and biodiversity that is only accessible via the river or rugged footpaths.
The best river trip in northern Arizona, Grand Canyon puts you in touch with the power of the Colorado River. Run infamous rapids such as Hermit, Granite, Crystal, and Lava Falls. Hike through impossibly beautiful side canyons and swim in crystalline pools. Let the bird song and glowing canyon walls fill your days.
Holiday can arrange five- to nine-day rafting trips through either the lower or upper sections of Grand Canyon. These trips involve a nine-mile hike into or out of the canyon from the South Rim to the Colorado River; we recommend that only those in good physical condition consider these trips. Reservations should be made well in advance; demand for this world-class adventure is high. Grand Canyon whitewater rafting trips are run by outside affiliates who are authorized Grand Canyon concessionaires.
