Experience Grand Canyon Whitewater Rafting

Active Adults

Did you know the average age of a guest with Hatch is 58 years old?

If you think white water rafting is an adventure sport best suited to young people, think again! More than 75% of our guests are over 50, and 15% are over 70. The people who have the most fun on our trips are usually the ones with a few more life experiences under their belts. Plus, if you’re retired, that means you have the time to truly enjoy an extended stay in Grand Canyon!

No experience necessary

You don’t need to be an expert oarsman to experience the beauty of Grand Canyon’s remote backcountry. In fact, you don’t even need camping experience! Our professional guides handle the tough stuff, leaving you free to take in every inch of incredible scenery and every moment of amazing adventure. We provide all of your essential camping and rafting gear, teach you the basics like how to set up a tent and be safe on the rafts, and provide you extensive information about Grand Canyon and the Colorado River. Our guides even cook for you! As long as you’ve brought your adventure attitude, you’ll do just fine.

Extended Family Trips

Have you always wanted to get the your extended family together for a grand adventure?

At Hatch, we understand better than most how rafting in Grand Canyon can create lasting connections between multiple generations of families. (Our business is literally built on it!) At least a few times a year, a guest tells us that they did this trip as a child and can’t wait to share the experience with their kids. That’s because whether you’re 8 or 80 years old, a Grand Canyon rafting trip is life-changing.

Build lasting memories with your loved ones as you share incredible, once-in-a-lifetime experiences and work together to overcome the trials of living outdoors—all with no distracting devices getting in the way.

Engaging for all ages

Whether you’re hanging on tight through the Colorado River’s famous rapids, splashing and swimming in hidden creeks and swimming holes, camping and playing on sandy beaches, or catching glimpses of the wildlife that calls Grand Canyon home, you’ll never be bored on the river no matter how old you are. Plus, every day your guides will chime in with fun facts about Grand Canyon history, geology, wildlife, and more!

Everyone on a Hatch trip pitches in when it comes to loading and unloading boats and setting up camp, so make sure everyone comes prepared to help. Our guides are excellent at finding ways to keep little hands just as busy as big ones.

Groups and Clubs

Looking for the perfect retreat for your group or club?

There’s no better option for a club trip than a rafting getaway in Grand Canyon. Rafting down the Colorado river is the perfect way to build trust and community among your group’s members. Spend your days riding the Colorado River’s whitewater rapids and exploring Grand Canyon’s hidden wonders. Then in the evenings, share stories and reflect on your adventure with your companions. Every afternoon, you’ll work together to unload the boats and set up camp and then reverse the process every morning—the perfect daily team building exercise!

Ski clubs, geology enthusiasts, hiking groups, women’s groups—we’ve hosted trips for all kinds of people. We’ve even had a few businesses choose Hatch for their company retreats. Your group could be next! Join an existing trip and make friends with other travelers or charter* an entire trip to yourselves. Either way, there’s no better place to bond with your team than Grand Canyon.

*Private charters typically require you to book 16 or 29 guest spaces depending upon availability.
