Grand Canyon-Colorado River Rafting Reviews


5.0 out of 5 stars (based on 111 reviews)

Great and unbiased time saver

June 9, 2025

Awesome resource for the busy person who also doesn’t know all the ins-and-outs of the industry. R&O helps you to hone in on a trip that meets your needs and restrictions.

I now wonder, why did I wait so long

June 2, 2025

Our group covered nearly 50 years, 78 to 29 years old. Many commented it was a life altering experience, including me, the 78 year old. Note: the food was outstanding.

Very well organized and superb staff

June 1, 2025

I had no idea what we wanted but the guidance received from Clint at Rivers and Oceans nailed a perfect trip. The outfitter was fantastic.

Upper Canyon Trip

May 7, 2025

Rivers and Oceans helped me find the best outfitter and river rafting trip to fit the personality of my family – we were able to enjoy paddling, rafting and dory riding from a family owned outfitter – all of which were important to us.

Hiker special trip

October 3, 2024

Rivers & Oceans helped us book an excellent full canyon trip. They supplied info on trips that were available when we first enquired, and helped us book the one we selected. And they answered the questions we had before the trip took place.

Truly a breath taking experience

September 28, 2024

This was my groups first white water trip. Kyle our guide was amazing making sure that we all had a wonderful time. Explaining the rock formations, how the water shifts everyday.

Ronnie H

Go There!

September 18, 2024

I have no words to describe the connection to the river and the canyon. It has provided an experience that has brought my family closer through the shared beauty, animals, and stars! The poem by Amil Quayle is relevant, “See how puny these words are Do not believe them Go there”!
