Grand Canyon River Rafting

How lucky are we that the Hualapai have shared this amazing experience with us on their reservation! It was an awesome adventure. Kid friendly. Nice excursions with waterfalls and hikes. The best way to see the Grand Canyon from inside. Make sure you ask for Randy Tso as your guide. He’ll make sure you’re safe but also experience the rapids to their fullest potential. Really cool and friendly guy, and very knowledgeable about the area and culture (he is part of Navajo Nation).

My husband and I booked the one-day white-water rafting trip with the Hualapai River Runners, and it was an experience of a lifetime! James drove us down to the Colorado River launch site at Diamond Creek, and the ride was a thrill in itself because we were bouncing Jeep-style on the rugged terrain. James told us about the plants that grow in the area and about the geology of the cliff faces. We appreciated his knowledge and professionalism and are also grateful for his military service. Tyler was our kick-ass, intrepid river guide for the trip. He took care of us with mad skills and humor. The rapids were exhilarating and the view from the bottom of the Canyon taps into the humbling and sacred. Then, at the end of the trip, we had the bonus of flying out of the Canyon by helicopter! Our pilot was stellar and the ride was mind-blowing. To all the crew who made our trip so singularly wonderful, a big “Hanaca!” (hope I spelled it right). I can’t recommend this trip enough!

The perfect 2-day trip on the river. I could not even think of how to improve this experience. Every staff member was courteous and helpful. The whole trip was great. Our guides, Leonard, Amber and Kevin, did an outstanding job guiding us through the river and cooked for us. The meals at the campsite were outstanding. They were thoughtful with suggestions for times to get off of the raft and walk around or swim. We enjoyed their stories and comments about the area. Couldn’t have asked for a better trip.
