You've watched others do it on television. You've dreamed of doing it yourself. Now, you can have the thrills and excitement of rafting the white water rapids of the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon.
Enjoy a couple of entertaining hours in the comfort of our luxury passenger van before you walk the shores of the most celebrated river in the west, the mighty Colorado. Feel it's relentless power and enjoy the mile high canyon walls where you will spend the day. Before you know it, you're descending into the depths of the deepest canyon in the world with the famous Hualapai River-Runners of the local Native American population as your hosts and guides. Your destination; Diamond Creek. Then on to the great Colorado river, where oftentimes guests spot Big Horn Sheep, wild mustangs or burros along the way.
Your Hualapai guide will greet you at the river, where your white water adventure begins. The river is master here. It dictates how fast you go, and how white the water actually is. It will carry you along the same watery roller-coaster that the famous Powell expedition traveled a century before. You will raft down the Colorado river for 40 miles, travel through 5 sets of rapids and spend 6 1/2 hours on the river. Lunch will be served on the river, before being airlifted by helicopter to the west rim of the Grand Canyon and continue your return journey back to Las Vegas through the Grand Wash Cliffs and the worlds largest Joshua tree forest.
