Arizona River Runners

This outfit is absolutely fantastic. We did a 6 day motor boat trip in July and could not have had a better time. The Grand Canyon is truly majestic from the dissecting view on the Colorado River. The trip is fairly physically exerting although they do a great job making sure everyone is able to participate. Speaking of participation this is a group effort as there is tons of gear and everyone is expected to chip in to make things run smoothly. Guides made the trip. They work so hard to provide everyone a memorable experience. I would do a thorough review of the different type of trips they offer to figure out what will be right for your group.

Went on a three-day motorized float with a family group of 10. It exceeded expectations! The staff was friendly, professional and attentive. They put our safety and comfort first, and made a genuine attempt to show & teach us about the river & Canyon. Frank was 100% on the mark as a host, Stacy was amazingly educated & passionate about sharing her knowledge of the history, geology & culture and Zach was a master at navigating & driving the raft. I can't wait to go again!

The guides were a stellar part of the tour: caring, knowledgeable, helpful, skilled, and clever. They explained and modeled natural resource conservation principles, and helped participants to do the same. They were waste-conscious and encouraged participants to protect and keep the beaches clean. In addition, they were very vigilant about minimizing risk of injuries and the spread of germs (and, potentially, illness) among participants, reminding them to wash hands and pee and poop in the proper places.The guides were also thoughtful about accommodating individual needs, and distributing themselves so none of our party had to worry about being left behind or without support on the hikes into the side canyons. They also made a real effort to remember everyone’s names from the get-go. The rafts and cots were much more comfortable than we expected, and having chairs was quite welcome. All the systems for stowing and deploying cots, chairs, etc. were very well organized. In fact, we were amazed at how well organized the rafts were for stowing and “disgorging” all the needed equipment, including cooking, dishes, toilets, etc. The meals were great -- we especially appreciated the variety at breakfast and dinner and the made-to-order preparation, whether it was eggs, omelets, or steaks. We also appreciated the fresh veggies and fruits for meals and snacks, the grilled salmon and meats, the hearty breakfasts and dinners, plus the availability of canned V8 and other nutritious snacks. We loved the choice of side canyon excursions: Redwall Cavern, Little Colorado River, Stone Creek Falls, and Deer Creek Falls. We also appreciated the guides providing a thumbnail summary, after the fact, of all the places we had stopped. Sleeping under the stars free of light pollution was spectacular. The trip exceeded our long-held dream!

It was like being in neverland. A world of it's own. God's finest.
