Arizona Raft Adventures - Flagstaff, Arizona

Truly an amazing experience to travel the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon with this group. It was so much more than I anticipated. The natural beauty is unlike anywhere else. My husband and I did a 14 day classic adventure. The hikes into the side canyons were amazing. Our guides were the best! They are kind hearted souls who love the Grand Canyon, its history, geology, ecology, and make delicious food as well. They were so helpful making sure we were safe on the hikes and on the water. Highly recommend using AZRA for your adventure!

I participated in a Lower half Grand Canyon adventure with a group of backpacking friends and my youngest daughter and the whole adventure from the preparation, to the hike down the Bright Angel Trail, to the 8 days on the river exceeded my expectations. The adventure and excitement of rafting the river was as good as I could expect, but there were also some great side excursions. The staff of AzRA from the office, to the hiking guide, to the river guides and assistants were all so engaging, helpful, knowledgeable, and friendly. And the whole group of 19 guests jumped right into participating in all aspects, creating a very friendly and collaborative trip that is unforgettable. And an aspect that enhanced the whole trip was including times for reflection, music with a guitar, readings from various pieces of literature, the story telling of the history, and the geology explanations. I had not expected some of that and it really rounded the whole trip out.

Absolutely an amazing trip that was well organized and had fantastic guides. So glad we took the 14 Day trip and that they had a paddle raft plus a dory to try. Both the paddle raft and the dory were fun especially in the rapids! Food was phenomenal, all sleeping and dry gear was included which made packing simple. Our guides had a morning talk/ check in and after dinner check to see what we liked. There are so many side trips and camps to see they tailored the trip to our group, adjusting based on our feedback. Will definitely go again and even take a longer trip!

Well organized!! The guides and staff were absolutely amazing. It was a well oiled machine. The food was very good and better than I had anticipated. Excellent breakfast,lunch and suppers, I enjoyed them all. As for the rafting and hiking that was also very good , beautiful hiking spots the guides took us to. This was the best trip of my lifetime so far obviously because of the beauty of the Grand Canyon but made equally great because of the AZRA crew.

Thank you so much

I went down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon with AZRA last year, and it was an incredible experience! This was my second trip with them, the first being 40 years ago, and they did not disappoint. The guides were extremely knowledgeable and ensured we had a fantastic and educational journey. The food was delicious, with three hearty meals a day plus snacks. Safety was a top priority, and I always felt very safe with this group. I highly recommend AZRA for anyone looking to experience the Grand Canyon from the river.

Absolutely wonderful experience. AzRA guides were exceptional in all aspects of the trip from guiding exhilarating rafting, hiking, and side-canyon adventures, preparing fab meals throughout the day, to sharing great stories, song, and poetry about the wonders of the Grand Canyon. Nine days of simply fun-filled awesome experiences the memories of which will last the remainder of my days.

Just finished a 2-week raft trip in the Grand Canyon with these wonderful people. I had never been to the Grand Canyon before, and was, of course, awed by its majesty and mysteries. But I was really moved by the AzRA team. The team lead, Michelle, had made 70 trips on this river and still she stood and thanked the river at the end, just one more sign of the way she shared her own joy at the wonder of this place. I always felt well cared for and safe in the hands of these guides. They made it fun and each really showed their own way of loving the river and the craft of guiding, Jed with his storytelling and reading the river aloud, Elise with a great sense of humor and play, Jaren’s joy at riding the big waves. They brought out the best in our band of 20 passengers, I think, and everyone had a great trip- and I mean everyone!

I’ve been on the full canyon hybrid paddle trips three times with a big group of family and friends. AzRa is amazing! Always felt so well taken care of, and the guides are incredible. Big shout out to Teddy, Dirk, Ed, Anthea, Lynn, Jon, and all the other legendary guides we got to know! I hope you are doing well! A Grand canyon paddling expedition, especially with these folks, will impact you in ways you can’t imagine, and the experience will be with you for life!
