Hear what our past clients had to say
Temperatures during the day between 70-85 degrees and temperatures at night can be in the 50's. Ideal daytime temperatures for extended hikes however can be chilly early morning especially if rafting through a rapid first thing. Long-sleeve/underwear, proper rain gear, fleece and warm socks is a must for trips in April.
Temperatures during the day between 70-85 degrees and temperatures at night can be in the 50's. Ideal daytime temperatures for extended hikes however can be chilly early morning especially if rafting through a rapid first thing. Long-sleeve/underwear, proper rain gear, fleece and warm socks is a must for trips in April.
Daytime temperatures can vary between 80-95 degrees, and very comfortable sleeping temperatures between mid 50’s to mid 60’s. Again, a rapid first thing in the morning before the sun rises past the canyon walls, or cloudy periods after a rapid can make things rather chilly. Long-sleeve/underwear, proper rain gear, fleece and warm socks is recommended.
Temperatures begin rising and you can expect 90's to over 100 degrees. Humidity is low and this helps, but June offers the least amount of cloud coverage so this can'feel' as the hottest month even if the temperatures aren't as high as July and August. Sleeping temperatures can be between 70-80 degrees.
Daytime temperatures over 100 degrees, and nighttime temperatures between 75-80 degrees. By mid-July expect more cloud coverage and is the beginning of monsoon season where you can anticipate late afternoon thunderstorms (usually do not last very long) and clear skies by nightfall. The clouds and rainfall can offer relief from the high temperatures.
Temperatures still in the 100's during the day and you can still expect some relief and cooler temperatures from late afternoon thunderstorms. Monsoon season begins tailing off towards the end of August however you can still anticipate hot temperatures throughout. Sleeping temperatures between 70-80 degrees.
Things begin cooling down again with temperatures in the mid-90's during the day and 65-70 degrees at night. Occasional late season monsoon weather can call for some late afternoon thunderstorms early in September, but are rare.
Temperatures continue to cool as you can expect temperatures similar to April, with sleeping temperatures between 50-60 and daytime in the mid 80’s making for ideal hiking conditions. Expect cool mornings and be prepared with long-sleeve/underwear, proper rain gear, fleece and warm socks.
Absolutely not. We are priced exactly the same as the operators who are selling the exact same Grand Canyon rafting trip. We are a free service to you and get paid a fee from the outfitters for referrals. We do the leg work and contact every outfitter on your behalf. Allow us to assist you in finding the right trip based on your needs.
The rafting season is from April - October and each month has its’ own beauty. Spring and Fall trips feature more mild temperatures and cooler, more comfortable sleeping conditions. June through August trips are the more popular months and often reach temperatures between 100-115 degrees during the day. The monsoon season begins on June 15 and ends on September 30, but the storms peak between mid-July and mid-August. During this time, you can anticipate occasional showers periodically. These showers often come and go and are refreshing given the high temperatures. If you’re looking for a Grand Canyon raft trip with extended hiking grand canyon, outfitters offer these in spring and fall as the cooler temperatures allow for longer hikes.
While on the river, there are plenty of pit-stop opportunities, and disposable systems should you have to go #2 when not at camp. Just ask your guide and they will accommodate! There are even ways to pee into the river while on raft, privately! When docked at camp, a toilet facility also known as the "Groover" is always available. There is a hand wash station with an "OCCUPIED" sign leading down a path to the toilet. The restroom will have a toilet seat just like what you have at home, and is much more comfortable than a port-a-potty. It will be hidden away from the view of others as placement is carefully decided on by the trip leader (proximity to the kitchen - downwind and not too close to the river) and often will feature a gorgeous view of the Colorado river.
You’ll be happy to know that 70% of our guests have no previous river rafting experience, let alone never have spent a night sleeping outdoors so the answer is no, no previous experience is necessary for most Colorado river trips in the Grand Canyon. The only exception (by a couple of outfitters strong recommendation) would be a lower canyon all-paddle trip as the first couple of rapids are among the largest of the river, and there is very little time to get comfortable in the raft prior to these rapids. An open mind, a positive outlook will ensure you’ll make wonderful memories that will last a lifetime on your Grand Canyon Rafting Trip.
There are 16 commercial outfitters that offer Grand Canyon rafting adventures, and they are all unique in their own way. To begin, all must keep excellent safety records and history per national park regulations. All employ very experienced guides (trained in first aid) with thousands of river miles spent rafting Grand Canyon as well as other rivers in the world. In addition, you can expect high quality rafts/gear and everything you need to ensure an amazing rafting experience. What varies is their individual itineraries: Where trips begin or end, how many river miles they travel, how many days and the raft type. Some commercial outfitters will offer sleeping cots, while others a self-inflating sleeping pad. Some will offer camp chairs, even pillows and even a way to charge you camera battery. Some focus only on non-motor trips, while others offer motor as well as non-motor. These are some of the main differences between one outfitter to the next and I recommend calling us to discuss in further detail. Our Grand Canyon River Rafting experts will match you with the outfitter/trip the best fits your needs.
