Western River Trip Reviews

We had wonderful experienced guides who made an effort to get to know all guests and help them build community. After the first day the weather was perfect. Lodge rafting is the ultimate in luxury. I noticed many people, myself included, took on a little more challenge over the course of the trip. We also got information about the area and an...Read More ›

We planned this trip for 2 years. We were given list of items to bring. This list is perfect for your comfort. All items were taken and used. Plan on cold water no matter what the outside temp reads. Do not worry about bringing $150 sandles. $40 or less will suffice.

You will experience breath taking beauty. Rock formations over 2 billion...Read More ›

Rafting through Cataract Canyon was great! Beautiful vistas around every bend. The guides knew their jobs well and were very accommodating. Every meal they made was terrific! Definitely would recommend this trip to anyone.

Lauren and Stu were the best guides ever!!! The food was great. Western River takes care of all the details, including providing plenty for bug spray that was needed! It was a real fun time. The passengers bonded well. I highly recommend this Desolation Canyon Rafting trip.

Overall excellent. Guides, food, river, kayaking, scenery were great. Good vibes with the other extended family along. Western River Expeditions was very helpful/available in trip planning.

The group of boys and the group of grandparent and parents bonded together as the trip developed, set their tents up in the same...Read More ›

The Snake was fabulous! There was an abundance of wildlife...eagles, bighorn sheep, bears, otters. The only reason the trip was not rated 5 stars was that two of the four guides were adequate but not fabulous. I was with one and he failed to point out the Nez Perce Crossing, an important historical landmark on the river.

We have wanted to do a trip like this for a long time. In the past, have seen the Grand Canyon from various vantage points - South Rim, North Rim, mule ride, helicopter and the Skywalk. But, was always itching to get down to the Colorado to see it best. Western River was the perfect solution. This trip was organized beyond belief. Our tour guides...Read More ›

This was a bucket list trip for me. It was all that I was looking for- the crew was super helpful, food was great and the scenery and rapids AMAZING! I would totally recommend Western River to anyone.
