Grand Canyon Rafting Vacations » 6 or 7 Day Tour

Days One and Two Meet your crew and rafts at Marble Canyon, a dramatic launch point on the Colorado River. Drift lazily, relax, and then savor lunch on a white sand beach. Mighty House Rock Rapid and the Roaring 20's set the pace for the next five days. Visit Vasey's Paradise, a spectacular cascade of water that supports a lush hanging garden, and Redwall Cavern, a vast chamber carved by the river. Hike breathtaking side canyons or visit ancient Anasazi granaries.

Days Three and Four After a leisurely swim in the warm, turquoise waters of the Little Colorado River, you're on your way to Hance, Horn, Granite, Hermit and Crystal…all rapids respected for their huge waves. Western's knowledgeable guides lead short hikes to hidden Elves Chasm and to pounding Deer Creek Falls.

Day Five Spend some time exploring the azure green waters of renowned Havasu Canyon where countless tranquil pools beckon you to find your own private piece of this water paradise. After dining on Western's famous evening cuisine, capture the dazzling glow of the sun on the canyon's towering walls before it slips into the horizon.

Day Six or Seven* Vulcan's Anvil, a volcanic cone mid-river, signals the approach of Lava Falls, the Colorado River's most notorious rapid. By noon, you'll meet your helicopter that will take you over the canyon rim to Bar Ten Ranch for a shower and lunch, before your return flight to Marble Canyon or Las Vegas.

Note about 7-Day Trip: Covering the same 188 miles of astounding Grand Canyon beauty as the 6-day trip, our new 7-day experience offers one more precious day on the river. With an extra day, you’ll be able to take additional side hikes to waterfalls, hidden grottos, and Native American ruins, and spend more time at renowned sites like Havasu.
