On the Cataract Express trip, Western River Expeditions uses a custom high-speed raft called a "Snout Rig." This raft is like a little sportscar, darting through rapids, and around obstacles with ease and nimble swiftness. Making it one of the most exciting rides in any whitewater. Seating is arranged to offer riders up front a clear view of the action and whitewater, while shielding those behind from the intensity of the largest waves. You'll find space to stretch out and relax in the calm sections of the river. With plenty of seat positions to choose from, you can decide whether you'll ride up front for more action or further back for a slightly calmer experience.
On this Cataract Canyon vacation, you'll spend 1 night on the banks of the Colorado River. Professional river guides cook delicious meals for you and all the camping equipment you need is supplied. This is camping made easy.
Delicious food, comfortable sleeping , wonderful service, awesome guide, exhilarating whitewater, all among the most beautiful, captivating country in the world! We wanted to immediately turn around and do it all once again.
