At Holiday River Expeditions, we believe there’s more than one way to experience the magic of the river. Our specialty rafting trips combine the adventure of whitewater with music, mindfulness, science, and storytelling—led by expert guides, authors, naturalists, and guest facilitators who bring new dimensions to life on the water. You’ll be joined by authors Melissa Sevigny, Craig Childs, listen to the music of Emily Hicks, and be guided in yoga by Jenny Palmer.
Paddle, stargaze, write, or simply be present as the current carries you deep into the wild heart of the backcountry. From kayaking workshops to music, yoga, and stargazing trips, each journey is designed to spark curiosity and connection—with the river, the desert, and yourself.
Looking for more miles on your boots? Join one of our extended hiking or active adventure trips, exploring hidden canyons, rock art panels, and secret side hikes. Or dive into the culture and conservation of the Colorado Plateau with trips that highlight river ecology, Indigenous lands, and the fight to protect these sacred waters.
If you don’t see the exact experience you’re dreaming of on any of our Specialty Rafting Trips, let’s create it together. We specialize in custom charter trips for private groups—perfect for family gatherings, friend reunions, or company retreats.
