Your White Water Rafting Experience

Upon arrival at Peach Springs, you will board a bus and drive down the only road that reaches the bottom of the Grand Canyon to arrive at the Canyon floor at approximately 8:45 AM. Here, you will meet your guide and receive your safety instructions before embarking on your rafting adventure at approximately 9:00 AM.

On your white water rafting adventure, you will travel down 47 miles of the Colorado River, including riding through several class 3 and 4 rapids along the way.

Stop at Travertine Canyon around 11:30 AM for a hike to the Travertine Waterfalls, where you can enjoy the warmer spring waters, climb the waterfall, and eat a complimentary lunch before heading further down the Colorado River.

From the Rim, you will catch the shuttle back to Peach Springs to retrieve your car and start your drive back to Las Vegas. The shuttle from Grand Canyon West departs at approximately 4 PM, and it takes approximately two hours to get from Grand Canyon West to Peach Springs.

We had a great trip with Canyon Tours last week. Our pilot was funny and put us at ease. He pointed out all the sights and filled us in on what we were seeing. We paid a little extra to get the front seats and I’m so glad we did. Definitely a once in a lifetime experience!

Excellent experience from beginning to end. Olivia, our tour guide was very knowledgeable. She kept us engaged and it was evident she enjoys what she does. Our bus driver, Chen, was also great. Thanks for a memorable day!

My girlfriend and I took a helicopter tour to see the Grand Canyon while in Vegas. The views were incredible, and the pilot was very informative, though the cabin got unbearably hot because the air vents weren’t working. Despite that, the company handled the issue well, compensated us. Definitely worth it for the sights and the story.
