Grand Canyon hiking and 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!)

Testimonials
The Guide service was second to none. Each of the four boatmen, were knowledgeable and personable. They each in their own way went above and beyond to make my trip safe approachable, safe, fun, and memorable. Hatch is lucky to be able to employ each one of them.

The guides navigated the waters so we always were safe. The side canyon hikes were all superb - the water falls, scenery, geology were fantastic...
