I would recommend this trip to anyone
It exceeded all of our expectations. The guides were most knowledgeable, the rafting and scenery were incredible and we had the time of our lives.
Amazing and breathtaking experience!
The staff was amazing and food was excellent! So much food and snack options! Loved the option of doing hikes throughout the day!
Lower Hybrid Trip
Fantastic people paired perfectly with a moving and majestic river experience.
I over packed
However, still the most amazing and the best trip I have experienced in years. It’s a must do for at least once in a lifetime. Do yourself a favor and take this trip. You’ll be so happy you did. What is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? Go out and explore!
I can’t think of a better trip that I’ve been on with my son
Our trip leader Cliff made the trip come alive with his stories and knowledge of the canyon and geology. I felt confident with him and his crew (Sam & Zain) taking us down the river and leading us on hikes to experience the magic of the canyon that isn’t available at the rim.
Great and unbiased time saver
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
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
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
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.
Masterful hospitality
A grand experience for start to finish in ultimate comforts provided add so much to the incomparable Grand Canyon
