One Day Grand Canyon Rafting Reviews


4.9 out of 5 stars (based on 63 reviews)

Great experience

August 25, 2023

My family (2 adults and 2 boys age 9 and 11) had a wonderful time on the one day rafting experience in the Grand Canyon. Prepare to get wet and have a great time.

The hike to the waterfall was amazing – not a very long hike, but it does require some scrambling and climbing that the guides will be more than willing to help with. The only negative I have is the long (1.5-2 hour) drive back to the lodge that makes it quite a long day.

Rivers and oceans is a great outfitter that answered questions promptly and provided excellent customer service.

Thank you for such a wonderful experience.

Thanks for everything!

We are a family with kids ages 8, 18, and 26. Every single one of them had an amazing time, and this adventure will be a core family memory for each of them. Our tour guide (Scott, I believe) was super friendly, helpful and knowledgeable.

Definitely the way to see the Grand Canyon!

We had the most wonderful experience on the one day white water rafting trip. It was so well organised and all the staff we met with were so efficient, helpful and knowledgable. Scott our guide on the water couldn’t do enough for us and made the whole experience wonderful for us. I would highly recommend him.

Exceptional Experience

April 27, 2023

My husband and I could not believe the kindness we received from Dale our guide. Our rapid ride experience through the Grand Canyon went way beyond our expectations. Also, Tom our bus driver was an amazing bus driver. I will never forget as long as I live the vacation I have ever had. I will return the gratitude by letting others know of River Runners. Thank you so much!
