Hiking Focused Whitewater Trips in Grand Canyon

The perfect combination of Grand Canyon hiking and rafting

Hiking Focused Grand Canyon Rafting Trips

Grand Canyon hiking and whitewater rafting on motorized rafts

Our motorized rafts will carry you through the canyon to its most exciting hiking destinations. Traverse Grand Canyon’s rapids each day then stop to hike some of Grand Canyon’s most scenic and remote trails. You’ll stop to swim in creeks and pools, cool off under waterfalls, and take in the most incredible views. If hiking in the spring, look out for Grand Canyon’s blooming wildflowers.

Our professional guides will operate the boats, lead you along Grand Canyon’s amazing trails, and cook your meals. All you have to do is enjoy the walk (and ride!)
