Amazing Trip!!!
Our guides were all amazing! My expectations were exceeded in all aspects of this trip. Anybody who is thinking about doing it, just do it. You won’t be disappointed.
I can’t recommend this trip enough!
Our Grand Canyon rafting trip was amazing! Everything was beyond our expectations and every member of the tour company was a delight to work with.
Rivers and Oceans was an awesome company to book with!
They handled all of the reservations, called to make sure that I had all my questions answered before and after the booking, and sent emails to keep me updated and educated on what the trip would entail. I highly recommend Rivers and Oceans. In addition, the trip will go down as my favorite vacation. The scenery was second to none. There were so many activities to engage in! My adult children and I loved it!
Best Guides in the Business!!!!
The trip of a lifetime!
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.
Using Rivers and Oceans was so easy to work with.
Professional group that made planning the trip easy
Thank you!
We’ve had great service from Rivers & Oceans for both our rafting trips. Coming from the UK, we needed a lot of help and support, and their friendly staff have been a godsend especially during the last two years during the pandemic.
This white water rafting trip far exceeded my expectations!
Beautiful excited experience.
