5.0 starsThe driver of the van was very engaging. He worked very hard at making the trip to the grand canyon and return interesting on its own. The rafting group were amazing. Everything went off like clock work. Will recommend this trip to anyone. Reviewed by:Dan P.,

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!

What an awesome experience it was to take your whitewater rafting tour. The guide was awesome and my son and I will never forget that experience. I certainly hope to return before the summer is finished just so my younger son can take the tour. Great day. Thanks so much.

What a fantastic trip!! Two very tired, very wet but very happy travellers from the UK had the day of their lives...just a fantastic trip all round and thoroughly recommended. Prompt pick up from the hotel, very friendly and knowledgeable driver, and comfortable bus. Fairly long journey from Vegas but no problems. And the rafting...just awesome!! The best fun we have had in ages, but beware...you will get soaked to the skin and the water is very cold!! Didn't matter to us though as temperatures were in the eighties and it was a beautiful sunny day. Great packed lunch on the banks of the Colorado as well as a short hike detour to check out some amazing waterfalls. And to top it all a very exciting helicopter flight to the rim of the Grand Canyon. Overall, just a wonderful, fantastic day. Thanks to all involved!!

Thoroughly enjoyed the experience. I don't know what was more exciting, the rafting or the helicopter ride. It was beautiful to experience the canyon that way. Definitely recommend it.

Unfortunately, I was on the trip 4 weeks ago where a fellow passenger left his wallet on the raft and we had to pick this fellow up at a dock further away about 45 minutes each way in order for him to get his wallet. As a result, my last evening in Las Vegas was a waste and plans had to be changed. I was incredulous that there was not a system for checking to see if materials were left on the raft. The driver did the best he could but it did manage to put a damper on the whole experience. I thought the indian Guides were quite good on the water. I thought the woman on the bus needed to tone it down. The landscape, of course, was beautiful and the rafting was fine. I think a tour should be offered where you fly one way and drive the other. It is really to long a day and when you have a screw up like the kid that was on my raft, it becomes very tiresome.
