Full Grand Canyon Rafting Reviews


5.0 out of 5 stars (based on 26 reviews)

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.

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.

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”!

I’d definitely recommend them

The trip of a lifetime!

September 4, 2022

Breath taking views. Josh was attentive to everyone, entertaining and knowledgeable. I felt safe both on and off the river, including during some of the more steep hikes. JP the other guide in the lead boat was excellent too as was Luke the newest member to the crew. They were all hard working and took care of everything, plus more. They had some nice bonus surprises at the end of our 7 day trip.

Sun Protection while Whitewater Rafting

July 23, 2023

When planning a rafting trip through the canyon, it’s important to consider how to best protect yourself from the sun. The combination of all day exposure and reflected sunlight off the water can be intense. Proper protection allows you to get the most out of your trip and avoid sunburn, heat exhaustion, or even skin damage.
