Grand Canyon Big Water Fun

The Grand Canyon is a true world class multi-day trip

An ambition of every whitewater kayaker, the sheer geographical scale means that every corner you come to, every morning you wake up you’ll stand in awe

The Grand Canyon’s not just a float trip: it’s a proper whitewater wilderness, lasting for over 200 miles. With grade III-IV rapids keeping you on your toes and the legendary lava falls spicing up your trip, there’s plenty of whitewater interest

  Summary

We’ve teamed up with one of the local outfitters so we can offer full raft support and keep your boat light and responsive. Of course, it also means we can skip the fifteen year waiting list for a permit! Of course, this kind of experience doesn’t come cheap but there’s nowhere else in the world that offers you ten days of multi-day paddling in such a stunning location.

  Programme

Day 1 Arrive in Las Vegas and head to a local hotel. That evening we’ll meet with the outfitter we’re using and make some plans for the trip

Day 2 Leave in the morning for the launching point at Lee’s Ferry

Day 3-13 Paddle the Grand!

Day 15 Arrive at the Diamond Creek take-out mid-morning and transfer back to Las Vegas by late afternoon

Day 16 Depart for the airport

NOTE: Of course, this schedule’s only a guideline but we’re unlikely to have to deviate from it
