A river trip on a motorized raft is a great choice for Grand Canyon. The motorized rafts travel about double the speed of the current allowing you to see more of the canyon on your vacation. Grand Canyon Whitewater’s motorized raft design is the most comfortable in the industry. You’ll have a backrest to lean up against as you take in the beauty of Grand Canyon.
Full Canyon Trips
8 DAY MOTOR
Our 8 Day Motor adventure will lead you down 225 river miles from Lees Ferry to Diamond Creek. The 8 Day Motor is special in that it is one of our longest motorized raft trips. On this excursion, you will raft world-class whitewater, camp on sandy Colorado River beaches each night, explore winding side canyon trails and waterfalls, and view ancient ruins. With the transportation package, this raft trip is a nice round-trip vacation from Flagstaff, AZ.
7 DAY MOTOR
The 7 Day Motor raft trip is our most popular; it provides the opportunity to explore the Full Canyon in just one week. Our optional round-trip transportation from Las Vegas, NV, is an easy way to begin your trip, or you may meet up with us in Marble Canyon, AZ. You’ll travel 187 river miles from historic Lees Ferry to a scenic helicopter take-out at Whitmore Wash. This trip allows for ample time to soak up the serenity of the river, hike to beautiful waterfalls, camp along the river’s edge and experience North America’s best whitewater.
Partial Canyon Trips
5 Day Motor w/ Hike In
The 5 Day Motor with Hike In raft trip is for those seeking a hiking and rafting adventure in a limited amount of time. The trip begins with a tough 8-mile hike into the Grand Canyon from the South Rim down to the Colorado River. From there, you’ll jump right into rafting 136 rapid-filled river miles and camp along the river’s edge all the way to Diamond Creek. This trip gives you time to explore the many side canyons and waterfalls just a quick hike away from the river’s edge. You will be returned to either the South Rim or Flagstaff, AZ, at the end of the trip.
4 Day Motor w/ Hike Out
The scenic 4 Day Motor with Hike Out trip is the shortest, and one of the toughest, we offer in the Grand Canyon. This raft and hike adventure embarks from Lees Ferry and continues through the stunning rock formations of Marble Canyon and on to river mile 89, camping along the river’s edge each night. On the fourth day, you’ll begin your 8-mile bucket list hike from the river to the South Rim. Round-trip transportation from Flagstaff, AZ, is included.
