WOW, WOW, and more WOWS! This was such an amazing adventure for our family. 7 days in the Grand Canyon was such a magical experience. We felt so blessed to have such an AMAZING crew! Thank you Joe, JT, Mickey, and RD….. you guys are super solid, and did an incredible job guiding us down the river. Western River Adventures is the ONLY way to go…. We were so impressed with everything they did!

The three-day Grand Canyon rafting was an experience that exceeded everything! This is something you have to do once in your life and if you do, do it with Western Rivers.
My husband and I, we were more than thrilled. The nature, the guides (Steve, Keefer, Justin, THANK YOU!), the adventure, the delicious food that was so lovingly prepared, the safety, the humor, nice people on the raft...all details that made this an unforgettable experience. We will be back and for more adventures.
A clear recommendation, but still no words to express how great it actually was!

We did the four day ranch/rafting trip. The guides were super friendly, knowledgeable and hard workers!! We are so thankful to have experienced this wonder of the world with such a good crew of folks. Airplane and helicopter rides were amazing too!

Trip was a ten out of ten! Guides Justin and Keefer were superb. Talented, capable, good story tellers, fantastic cooks. But always in the front of their minds was keeping as he would say, on the raft !

You hear bucket liat, and must do’s , and once in a life time. This trip was that and a whole lot more.

My best piece of advice, just go!

Western River Expeditions was fabulous in every way! The rafts were unbelievable in the amount of stuff they carried while allowing for our movement around the vessel and trading places from the pontoons to the Ice chests to the back to fill up our water bottles. The choice of riding the rapids made for an exhilarating experience from the safety of the back, the view from the ice chests to the sheer terror of the pontoons. The guides are amazing in their care for the people as well as the environment. Their professionalism and friendly demeanor was a great balance. I am just astounded that they could also qualify as chefs. The food was delicious throughout! Being serenaded in the slot canyon was over the top! We loved the stories and insight into the canyon geology during the calmer waters too. Daniel made the uncomfortable task of dealing with human waste funny but serious too. It was so nice to land on a camp spot on the "beach" and it be pristine except for footprints. No easy accomplishment with thousands of people rafting down the river every summer. Kudos to Western River for running a First class outfit!

My wife and I just finished the 3 day grand canyon rafting trip and it was fantastic. I was very impressed with the team from Western River and the service was outstanding. Our raft guides JT and Daniel were top notch. Professional, hard working, and very fun. Excellent food, great support. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

My husband and I just got off the river and we are still awe struck. The canyon is something words struggle to describe. Every turn was another jaw dropping moment. Not to mention the our Guides Ronnie, Jeff, Avery and Aaron busted their buts to make this trip amazing. The knowledge about the canyon and the river made the ride something to remember. The food was top notch.. We did not expect steak on the first night! everything was above par and would advise everyone thinking about going down the river to choose western rivers. They are an amazing company.

This trip far exceeded my expectations! The river was incredible, the views spectacular, and the company made it amazing. Our guides were knowledgeable and seemed to genuinely enjoy their time on the river and with us. We got to know them well over the course of the trip. The boat was the best on the river. I don't think I'd go through those rapids on anything else. The food was amazing and the bathroom situation couldn't have been better under the circumstances. I would recommend this trip to anyone wanting to ride the river!
