Canyoneers, Inc. - Rafting Trips - Flagstaff, Arizona

 Print This Post

Based in Flagstaff, Arizona, Canyoneers, Inc. is the oldest river company offering fully outfitted and guided whitewater rafting trips on the Colorado River in Grand Canyon. Our company history dates back to 1936, and has been under its current ownership since 1956. We offer both motorized and rowing trips from 3 to 14 days long that begin in Flagstaff, Arizona, or at the south rim of Grand Canyon National Park.
 
Trip fares vary depending on trip length, but they are all inclusive from their starting point. A Grand Canyon River Trip is the ultimate vacation get-a-way! The scenery is spectacular. There are great side canyon hikes, ancient Indian ruins, splendid waterfalls, terrific gourmet meals, and top notch, professional guides. Throughout the trip, our guides present a wonderful program covering the Canyon’s history, geology, archaeology, plant and animal life, and a lot of great tall tales!
 
On a full Grand Canyon river trip you will run some 200 rapids. Each day is filled with new activities as we explore hidden side canyons with extraordinary geologic formations, blue green pools that invite you to take a swim, pictographs, petroglyphs and fossils that tell ancient stories, huge caves that invite exploration, and thundering waterfalls that are a beauty to behold. Each night your guides will set up camp on big sandy beaches, and you will be treated to a night sky like no other! You will see the milky way, more constellations than you can name, and shooting stars too many to count.
 
Our professional, fun loving guides, take care of your comfort and safety and provide you with the highest quality trip possible. Around the turn of the century Grand Canyon was inhabited by some very colorful frontier-type characters. Our river folk can tell you about those pioneers, and before your trip is over, you may suspect that some of today’s guides are some of some of today’s, and maybe tomorrow’s—canyon characters.
 
Seeing the Grand Canyon from the rim is not the same as experiencing it from the river. Rafting the Canyon is dramatic. The canyon walls rise incredibly above, as you look up a vertical mile to the rim, knowing there are people up there looking down. But those people don’t have a view that changes with every bend of the river. They can’t touch the rocks that are two billion years old—half as old as Earth itself. You can! But do as much, or as little, geologizing as you want. You don’t have to study old rocks to feel awed, and a little superior to the folks who were only at the canyon, not in it.
 
We offer trips from April through September that are suitable for ages 8 through 84, and we can accommodate passengers with special needs if you let us know in advance. Our trips are comprised of singles, couples, families, groups, and clubs of all kinds. People come from throughout the United States, and from around the world, to experience the wonders of the Grand Canyon by raft.
 
Come experience the adventure, the challenge, the serenity, the wildlife, the fun and exhilaration, and come away feeling on top of the world! Grand Canyon River Trips –Canyoneers does it best!
