Grand Canyon Motorized Raft Trips
The Ultimate Rafting Adventure
Take an extraordinary voyage on one of our motorized rafts and let yourself become absorbed by the magic of Grand Canyon. Try sitting up front in “the bathtub” for at least a few rapids – you won’t regret it!
Our motorized Grand Canyon rafting tour is by far our most popular whitewater rafting expedition. Choose our 7 Day Full Canyon expedition and see it all from Lees Ferry to Whitmore Wash, or spend 4 days getting to know the Upper Canyon or 4-5 days in the Lower Canyon.
