If you want to experience the most breathtaking and magnificent river journey in the world, then this is the trip for you! The stunning vistas, the massive rapids run by Major John Powell in the 1800s, the long calm pools and the tapestry of human history give a feeling of pure regeneration. The journey will take you from Lees Ferry down the 226 miles of spectacular whitewater, that is the Colorado River. Framed by massive walls of granite and marble, stepping back to expose an abundance of natural history, we will explore the ancient Indian ruins on hikes up the canyon side. With awesome daily rapids such as the renowned Hermit, Granite and Lava you will have the ultimate feeling of adrenalin and fulfilment. And as darkness falls we will camp on the pristine white sandy beaches with the melodic sound of the river. On reaching our destination at Diamond Creek you will feel proud and fulfilled, having just completed one of the best river adventures in the world!
With the right balance between leisurely paddling, incredible hikes and fast moving whitewater rapids, this is a highly sought after trip with a commercial waiting list of over two years. We have departure dates booked so contact us to reserve your place.
