7-day Upper Grand Canyon; a trip of a lifetime that will be forever be in my heart!

Rated 5 out of 5
July 11, 2022

I had the trip of a lifetime visiting the Upper Grand Canyon (7 days) in July 2022. I cannot stress enough the beauty, isolation, sense of wonder and excitement, excellence in staff, and ease of booking of this trip. This will be forever in your memories, so go ahead and go to the Grand Canyon!

I highly recommend Rivers & Oceans as they helped me assess different booking options, provided timely and relevant information, and were always available by email and phone. They know the river very well and had good suggestions. Due to a time crunch I was able to assess the options and complete the booking in less than 5 business days; Rivers and Oceans was key in helping me doing so. Their customer service is probably in the top 5% percentile out there. Let them guide you through the process and trust their judgement, as they have good experience in the Canyon.

From booking through return home the experience was great. Rivers and Oceans helped line up an adventure of a lifetime. Thanks to the staff as they were flexible through all the pandemic rescheduling and group shuffling.

Our trip went down the canyon without a hitch.

It exceeded all my expectations, and was humbling in its magnitude and beauty.

A trip I will never forget!

Grand Canyon Rafting and Helicopter Trips

May 18, 2022

While either a Grand Canyon rafting trip or a helicopter ride over Grand Canyon would be a trip of a lifetime for many people, it is possible to do both on the same trip. Numerous Grand Canyon Rafting trips in Arizona either start or end with a 5 to 7 minute helicopter ride in or out of the canyon. Below we walk through the different trip options. These rafting trips run from mid-March through October.
