A few select spots are still available for 2024, and 2025 is filling up fast, so book your Grand Canyon rafting adventure today!

Your Grand Canyon rafting trip begins in the lower 100 miles of the canyon. Here, the Colorado River's famous rapids, though still exciting, are a bit tamer. The scenery is astounding. Massive sandstone cliffs conjure up imaginary shapes. Hidden waterfalls and pools carve their way down to the river. Wildlife is abundant, with frequent sightings of elusive Blue Heron, soaring hawks and eagles, and majestic Big Horn sheep. At night, the canyon walls unveil a heaven of innumerable stars. To top it off, Western's Grand Canyon 3-day river trip offers easy access from Las Vegas, Nevada. Come join Western River Expeditions on an incredible and unforgettable Grand Canyon rafting journey.

Unforgettable Birthday Present!

Jacqui Gill - England
This trip was to celebrate my 50th birthday, which it did in style. From start to finish the trip was brilliantly organized with fantastic food and terrific guides. A special thanks to Grace Tom Newman and JD who ensured it was a trip of a life time. We'll be back!

Fantastic Way to See the Grand Canyon

Tom - New Jersey
I have seen the Canyon from the rim but to see it from the river looking up is unbelievable. This 3 day trip was the perfect amount of time for this novice camper. From sleeping under the stars to hitting the rapids our guides Evan and Justin made this a trip to remember. Everything is provided from meals to camping...

The Best Grand Canyon River Raft

The Best Grand Canyon River Raft

As you'll be rafting down the Grand Canyon for nearly 100 miles, the raft you ride becomes an integral part of your experience in terms of relaxation, whitewater, and ability to move about. While you'll certainly be getting on and off the raft quite a bit every day, your comfort on the raft is important. Western River Expeditions uses a patented raft called the "J-Rig." This raft offers one of the most comfortable rides on a Grand Canyon whitewater rafting trip. You'll find plenty of space to stretch out and relax in the calm sections of the river and one of the most exciting rides in the whitewater stretches. 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 calmer experience.
