Summary
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
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
