Canyon and River Adventures Rafting Tour

This tour sets off from the Grand Canyon Airport near the South Rim. You'll board a sightseeing airplane and travel across the Grand Canyon East Rim and the stunning desert scenery to the city of Page, Arizona, home to some of the most magnificent natural landmarks. You'll discover aerial sights of Lake Powell and Horseshoe Bend, the famous near-circular twist in the Colorado River. Your touring airplane also offers headset narration in multiple languages to describe the scenery below you.

Upon landing in Page, you'll be transported for a guided tour of the world-famous Lower Antelope Canyon. This photographic landmark has rippling sandstone walls and and narrow winding corridors that create the perfect backdrop for one-of-a-kind photo moments. Your Antelope Canyon tour is led by a Navajo guide who will show you the best photo opportunities and explain the history of this ancient canyon and the Navajo people.

After exploring Lower Antelope Canyon, you'll start a smooth water rafting trip on the Colorado River, departing from the historic Lee's Ferry. The boat seats 20 passengers and offers beautiful sightseeing from all angles. You'll float over 18 miles through the colossal walls of Glen Canyon with the refreshing spray of the desert water to cool you off. The raft will dock at Petroglyph beach, where you can disembark and explore. The aptly named beach features authentic ancient Puebloan petroglyphs, and your guide will share the meaning and history of the Native Americans.

Your Colorado River raft tour will continue through the world-famous Horseshoe Bend. You'll travel almost a full circle between the 1000-foot canyon walls, a truly unique way to experience this popular section of the Colorado River. Your tour will arrive back at Lee's Ferry, where your sightseeing adventure ends. Ground transportation will be waiting to drive you back to the Grand Canyon South Rim area, with a stop at the historic Cameron Trading Post.
