Rafting the Grand Canyon

Rafting the Grand Canyon offers a phenomenal variety of vistas, camps, waterfalls, rapids, side canyons, archaeological ruins, and other attraction sites to enjoy and explore. Allowing time to visit these places is the essence of every Outdoors Unlimited Grand Canyon Rafting trip.

I have waited 40 years for this trip. I wanted to paddle the rapids of the Colorado River and your company gave that opportunity in spades. It was a trip of a lifetime.
