Your Day on the River

Morning Departure from Peach Springs

Your day begins in Peach Springs, where you’ll check in and meet your expert Hualapai guide—a local with deep cultural and historical knowledge of the land. From there, you’ll ride down to the river’s edge to board a specially designed motorized raft.

Conquer the Rapids

Brace yourself for an adrenaline-filled ride through up to eight sets of white-water rapids, each delivering its own unique thrill. Along the way, your guide will share stories of the Hualapai people, the Grand Canyon’s geology, and the wildlife that calls this rugged landscape home.

Hidden Waterfalls & Riverside Lunch

Midway through the journey, you’ll step ashore for a guided hike to Travertine Cavern Falls, a magical oasis reached via ladders and rope-assisted trails. Here, cool spring water cascades into a sandy alcove—perfect for photos and a moment of peace. Back at the river, enjoy a picnic-style lunch surrounded by some of the most dramatic canyon views in the world.

Scenic Float & Canyon Exit

The final stretch of your trip is a peaceful float along calmer waters, giving you time to soak in the canyon’s grandeur.
