Read what other travelers think about the Grand Canyon Colorado River White Water Rafting One-Day Adventure with Helicopter Ascent (Raft). We only accept reviews from actual, confirmed travelers who purchased the tour / activity from us, so you can be sure the reviews are unbiased and authentic.
I think we were the oldest couple on this tour (55). A little sore for a couple days afterward. But we loved every bit of it. The next time we come out we will do it again. The adventure of a lifetime.

The whole trip was fantastic from the moment we were picked up, to dropping us back at the hotel. Our guide was extremely friendly and informative.
The raft ride was exhilarating and a great experience. To travel through the Grand Canyon this way was an outing never be forgotten. The raft pilot was fun and again informative. The helicopter lift out was again a fantastic experience.
The only caution: we had superb weather, but the water was cold. Buy a poncho and bring some warm clothes which they will put in a waterproof container, just in case you are not as lucky as we were with the weather.
Wow factor - 10 out of 10! I would do it again, tomorrow.

Great experience. Although the pickup was a bit of a struggle, the bus driver was an excellent guide who knew a lot about the area. The Native American raft-driver was a lot of fun, and knew the river very well. It never felt unsafe, and the trip was not too long, not too short. Other guests were also great! Nice helicopter bonus.

This is amazing. I will remember it for rest of my life. Little gorge walk in the midst of it. Great guides. Amazing lunch location. Great value. Road trip was enjoyable. We got to stop off at little places and see Joshua tree national forest. Excellent!

After having to postpone our first trip, we were very glad to return and complete it. Even the trip down to the river in the bus was fun. Amazing views and well organised. Our rafting experience was full of excitement. Our rafting guide made it even more enjoyable by showing us all the sights and telling us stories of the local tribes. Unforgettable! A truly amazing experience. Thank you.

This was a great bonding experience for me and my boyfriend and definitely a once in a lifetime experience! I would recommend it to anyone.

Everything was great except for the wait to helicopter out. This was awful! We were one of the first rafts to finish and arrive at the top of the cliff and our group was one of the last out by helicopter. There was no sense of order, it was hot, and there was no water at all. We were stranded for over an hour and a half! After waiting over an hour others who weren't even from our rafting trip were taken before our group. I was standing nearby when one guy came up to the staff member and bargained to go next. He should be ashamed. They had just gotten off a party boat and then off in the helicopter they went. This completely ruined the experience! There was no reason to not have water for us, we would have gladly purchased water had it been available. Shame on the helicopter company!

Our guide was brilliant. He was courteous, kind, informative, and interesting. Thanks so much. He took care of my girl Belle so carefully and considerately. We always felt safe! The rafting experience was everything I had hoped for and more. The icy water splashing on me had me shrieking with delight. So much fun. Oh and the water falls! Magnificent. Our guide's stories were wonderful. The the helicopter trip up - wow. The whole day was brilliant. So worth the money spent. And we rode in a Hummer! Thanks again, it was terrific. I recommend it to everyone who has been dreaming of the canyon. This is the way to experience the enormity, beauty and vastness of our wonderful world.
