If you're looking for a rafting trip with guests, friends, and family, then you'll love the Grand Canyon rafting experience.
What awaits you on your rafting the Grand Canyon trip? Well, the Colorado River offers a lot of surprises, so your few days may be spent whitewater rafting in the river, hiking the National Park, exploring Glen Canyon Dam, Phantom Ranch, and Peach Springs, and having hearty meals with your colleagues.
In the evenings, you'll first set off to your camp base at the heart of the canyon. This is where you'll experience camping beside the Colorado River. Once you set up camp, you can now enjoy some free time while waiting for a hearty dinner. Then, when you're all rested, it's time to set towards the white water to start your water rafting.
Rafting at Grand Canyon can be hard (Class IV) or mild (Class I). However, all trips force you to experience a kind of group effort along the Colorado river. The whole whitewater rafting experience is meant to let you bond and communicate with your family, friends, and fellow river rafters.
Of course, it's not pure whitewater rafting. The trip alternates from rafting time, lunch breaks, and hiking or scenic stops along the Colorado River. It's a tour after all. Everyone will be able to immerse themselves in different experiences in this Arizona River.
As night approaches, one of the best things to do is to look at the sky and hear the sounds of the canyon and the Colorado River. This trip is worth remembering every detail.
Each one has its own trip preference depending on the length of time they have, budget, interests, etc. While you may not be fond of rafting, a rafting trip is difficult to skip because the whole canyon is surrounded by magical views. At the very least, you'll be spending a considerable amount of time in on the Colorado River.
There is also a day trip or specialty adventures that you can choose from. Take note, though, that the Colorado River in the Grand Canyon can be packed with tourists during peak season so it's best to book your reservations early on. You can see all the information you need on guides, riverside lunch, questions, and safety protocols online.
It's important to know that this Arizona adventure is not just for adults. You can bring your children, too. A lot of the river and wilderness adventures are kid-friendly making it a great family activity. You can go kayaking with the children too on the 1/2 - 1-day trips.
When it comes to what to wear in Arizona, it tends to be warm and sunny on most days, but there can be rains and cool winds too. To make sure you're truly ready for your Arizona adventure, bring quick-dry clothing, rain gear, a swimming suit, and hiking attire. Yes, that's a lot of clothes! However, don't forget to travel light too.
Don't forget to bring necessary items like sunblock, sunglasses, a cap, and a sarong. These items can help you be more comfortable when rafting, hiking, or even camping at night.
