Grand Canyon Colorado River White Water Rafting One-Day Adventure with Helicopter Ascent (Raft)

Description

Let us pick you up at Downtown Las Vegas & Strip hotels onboard our air-conditioned motor coach or minibus. Leave Las Vegas behind and head south towards the Grand Canyon!

We'll cross over the Hoover Dam before continuing on to Kingman, Arizona. After driving down historic Route 66, we'll check in with our river raft guides.

Then, hop onboard the tribal bus for a scenic, though bumpy, 17-mile drive down to the river on the only road into the Grand Canyon. At the river, put on your life jacket, put your camera in the watertight camera box & listen to the safety instructions.

Then, get ready as we hop onboard an inflatable, motor-powered raft & hit our first rapids just seconds from pushing off! You will get wet! Raft 40 miles through Class 3 & 4 (out of 6) rapids for about 5.5 hours!

When your raft trip ends, you'll still be in the depths of the Grand Canyon. Our jet helicopter picks you up near the river. Then, climbs among spectacular 4,000-foot cliffs from the river to the tribe's modern airport at the Grand Canyon West Rim (7 minutes approximately).

From the air terminal, return on a relaxing, comfortable journey (2.5 hours approximately) to Las Vegas!

It was great but they should take pictures during the rapids and also the helicopter. People who do this are on vacation and will pay $20+ for a family picture. All attractions do it and it would make tons of money for the people.

Our raft guide was knowledgeable and told stories and explained some history of the river and canyon. He made the trip more interesting. He said he only fills in this year but he sure seems to be a positive asset to have on your team. I enjoyed the trip.

Was expecting more rafting stuff, but it was fun to do. Next time when in Vegas, we may join this tour again. A little minus is the long waiting time for the chopper.

A WONDERFUL experience. The river scenery is beyond belief. So beautiful and majestic. Our guide was just as wonderful. A well put together adventure from all perspectives. The ride to and from the trip, the trip, the helicopter. Truly an amazing experience. Worth every cent, honestly.

Our driver was brilliant and really passionate about his work, we were lucky to be taken by him. The white water rafting was amazing! We wanted to do it again as soon as it had finished! The Hualapai Indian guides were brilliant and so fascinating. And of course the scenery was breathtaking. We were disappointed by the helicopter flight out of the Grand Canyon. It seemed very badly organized at the landing site and once we were finally in a helicopter the pilot didn't say a word so we didn't know exactly what we were looking at (although the views were stunning nonetheless). In general though, we would definitely recommend the trip.
