Join us on an epic adventure of one of the most sought after rafting destinations in the world, the Grand Canyon. This 188 mile stretch of the Colorado River includes 67 world class rapids, enough white water action for a lifetime. Marvel at pristine waterfalls, ancient Indian ruins, and infamous red cliff walls raising nearly a mile overhead as you wind your way through one of the 7 Natural Wonders of the World. A journey of a lifetime, experience the Grand Canyon as it was meant to be. Your trip is not measured in hours and minutes, only sun up until sun down. Our 12 day oar trip allows you to enjoy the canyon as it was meant to be. This is an all inclusive package that includes transfers from Page to Lee's Ferry and return to Las Vegas by chartered flight.

Pre Departure Day

Please plan to arrive in Page, Arizona the day prior to your trip departure. If you would like your accommodation this evening arranged for you, Adventure Hero can book you a room at Lake Powell Resorts and Marina for an additional cost. We will host a welcome briefing in the evening, answering any last minute questions as you get acquainted with your fellow rafters and guide.

Day 1: On the River (Launch Day)

In the morning, we depart for our launch point at Lees Ferry. Adventure Hero will provide a chartered bus that will take you the 2 hours from Lake Powell Resort to the banks of the Colorado River. From here, your guide will lead you on a journey through the expanses of the Grand Canyon.

Days 2 - 11: Typical Day on the River

Wake up to the smell of freshly-brewed cowboy coffee - sounds of rushing water mingled with the murmur of sleepy voices echoing through the grotto's of the canyon walls. Breakfast is hot and hearty - or as light as you want. After breakfast you will be asked to form a "bucket line" to help load the gear back on the boats and then the Colorado River beckons and you are off once again experiencing the rush of adrenaline as you continue on your journey back in time. Enjoy spectacular white water of major rapids, such as House Rock Rapid, Hermit Rapid, Sockdolager, Crystal Rapid and Lava Falls - you will see and enjoy dozens of additional sights including Vasey's Paradise, Redwall Caverns, The Little Colorado, and Havasu Creek as well as stretches of calm water where you will relax in the warm sun and enjoy breathtaking scenery. Photographic opportunities abound in the upper canyon. Lunch on the Colorado River; build your own sandwiches, with chips, cookies, fruit and soft drinks. Relax, read a book or perhaps hike or fish before shoving off again for an afternoon of thrills and surprises. Late afternoon finds you at camp for the evening. Again you will be asked to help unload the gear from the boats. As your crew sets up the camp kitchen everyone finds their ideal camp spot and sets up their "home" for the night. Later, you relax with a cool drink and hors d' oeuvres and get better acquainted with your fellow river companions - as dinner sizzles on the grill. After dinner, watch the sun set, join in the conversation of the group, and listen to the quiet of the canyon as you settle into your sleeping bag under a blanket of stars. Tomorrow brings another magical day on the Colorado River.

Final Day

Congratulations, you have made it the 188 miles along the Grand Canyon! At approximately 9:00 am, you and your gear will be transported from Whitmore Wash via a 7-½ minute helicopter ride to the Bar 10 Ranch on the canyon rim. Showers are provided and you will have the opportunity to enjoy your last buffet style lunch before returning to "civilization" via a previously arranged charter flight back to Page, AZ or Las Vegas, NV. Your charter flight is included in your trip cost.
