May 2018 20 encompasses the vast and awesome nature of your new Grand Canyon reality. Canyoneers offers two types of Colorado River whitewater rafting trips — motorized pontoon boats and rowed oar-powered inflatable boats. The motorized trips allow you to experience and see more in a shorter time period than the slower moving rowed boats. Our rowing trips are accompanied by the Sandra, a historic wooden cataract boat that takes you back into history running the Colorado River like the pioneers of yesteryear. We also have trips for those who want to hike into or out of the Grand Canyon. Our trip schedules accommodate our customers’ diverse touring schedules. On a motorized expedition, you can see the canyon wonders along the entire length of the Grand and ride every whitewater rapid in only 7 days. Or view two-thirds of the Grand in 5 days, or the upper portion in 3 days. For the more leisurely rowed trips, allow 14, 9, and 6 days for the same tours. There’s a myth floating around that says you must book your tour several years in advance. R afting with Canyoneers is truly a new reality as you leave your old life behind and drop into the depths of the Grand Canyon gorge, riding on the swells of the mighty Colorado River. The canyon formations, colors, and river movement are your new reality for the duration of your trip! Our guides have extensive knowledge and training in Colorado River rafting and the challenges of Grand Canyon’s arid desert environment. They’ll bring you through the rapids safely while you enjoy the ride!
