Hands Down The Best Rafting Company Out There!

Talk about a bucket list experience! Hatch outdid themselves during our private 8-day, 7-night rafting trip down the Grand Canyon! I wouldn’t change a thing about our adventure; it was complete perfection! I HIGHLY recommend Hatch and can’t wait to book another trip with them!

The best trip of a life time, Definitely a "Bucket List Item"

The absolute best 10 days of my life! I cannot praise the Staff of Hatch River enough . The boatman and swamper made me feel safe and were just great people all around. The sights and sound, and tastes are awsome, the experience of the river, rocks and water are memory makers.

Wow. Hatch knows what they’re doing. You all have this down to a science, and your formula is spot on. I was not expecting to be comfortable on this trip (I’ve only ever camped for a few days at a time before), but at the end of 6 days I was ready to keep going for a full 12! Right on Hatch!

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

Upon post trip re reading of the “Trip Overview” and “Typical Day” documents you sent, I must say they were both accurate and precisely what we experienced. It was an exciting, spectacular, and professionally guided 7 days!

All of the guides on our trip were amazing. Kelsey is a natural leader and the rest of the guys all brought something special to the trip. We will definitely be booking again in the future.

It was an excellent mix of guides and experience. Having Zack who is a walking historical and geological encyclopedia was invaluable. I thoroughly enjoyed each and every guide. They were all very competent and hard workers. Holden did a great job guiding his first trip.

Kelsey & Holden were pros. Extremely knowledgeable and I felt very safe with them. The rafting was amazing. The daily excursions were fun and beautiful. Better than I imagined.

The Hatch river guides are beyond outstanding. They are professional, friendly, courteous, hard-working, and most of all, safe. The guides go above-and-beyond to make sure everyone is included, supported, doing well along the way, and having a great time. It's amazing how hard they work to make all this happen! I'm so appreciative of everything they did to make this trip a once-in-a-lifetime stellar experience. Thank you!!!
