What our guests have to say about us!
"Our 8 day motor trip from Lee’s Ferry to Whitmore was an extraordinary wilderness adventure for our family of four. The motor trip is a relaxing way to see lots of magnificent scenery, which changed continually as we progressed down the Colorado. With the gear provided by Wilderness River Adventures, camping was easy and comfortable (even for the females in our family, who were new to camping.) Our guides were friendly and knowledgeable about the river and the canyon, and they were also expert boat-handlers. The hot desert climate was balanced by an occasional splash from the rapids. Our guides found lots of fun stops on the river to eat, camp, relax, hike, swim, and see some unique sites. The great memories from this trip will stay with our family forever."

"We have been rafting on the Colorado through the Grand Canyon twice with Wilderness River Adventures and once with their predecessor company. Every trip has been better than the last. Their Guides and Crew are top notch boatman that provide a safe and exhilarating trip through some of the most beautiful river country in the world. The best part about WRA is that they carry on the traditions, stories and histories of river running in the Grand Canyon. Their story telling about the history of almost every mile of the river is almost as much fun as the rapids. Their guided hikes to the various waterfalls, creeks and Indian Ruins that can only be seen by visitors on river trips make this trip like no other in the world. WRA years of experience is obvious from every aspect including their pre-trip planning, transportation to and from the canyon, and high quality and well maintained equipment."
"If you are considering a trip down the Grand Canyon I would sincerely recommend that you consider a trip with WRA, you will make friends that you will never forget, see things that most others will never see, and you will absolutely have the trip of your life."

"When I took my first river trip with WRA in 1994, I’d never have guessed that now, in 2011, I’d have just finished my 12th. People told me back then that running the Colorado through Grand Canyon would be a life-changing experience, and they were right. They also said that each trip is better than the last, and they were right about that too. The adrenaline rush of the big rapids, the beauty and majesty of the Canyon, and the opportunity to reconnect with nature all combined to make this June’s trip easily the best river trip I’ve ever taken. All my trips have been with WRA, and that’s not an accident. The friendly, knowledgeable and ever-patient reservations team; the great crews past and present I’ve come to know -- I think of them all as “river family,” and I owe them a heartfelt thanks for making it possible for me to experience the Canyon and the Colorado the way I have. I’ll be booking my next trip soon, and I won’t be considering another company; it’ll be WRA all the way!"

"My husband & I had been on Wilderness River Adventures oar trips in May, June, August, and September, but after our first October oar trip, we knew we’d found our spot – the quiet autumn days (as in crowds – our screams were just as loud!), warm campfires on the beach, huge rides in the rapids in the smaller rafts, and the professional care and attention that we’ve been used to from WRA since we began in 1987. But it’s a secret about October, so please don’t tell anyone!"

"This year, we lived the Grand Canyon for a week with Wilderness River Adventures… every starry night, every heat wave, every cold splash, every delicious meal, every slot canyon, every kernel of history brought to life by our guides, Zach, Brett, Siobhan and Will. My two teenagers and I moved outside our comfort zone to camp and commune with nature in the awe-inspiring beauty and power of the Grand Canyon. The trip of a lifetime, we rose with the sun and slept under the stars, bathed in the freezing waters of the Colorado River, enjoyed the view of the river from Oscar and loved every minute. We’d do it again every year if we could!"

"We have been on many other continents and have seem many of the world's wonders, but our trip down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon right in our own backyard, rates in the top three. My husband was initially "along for the ride,"but within 10 minutes he was totally "onboard:. This trip was the most awe inspiring, naturally wonderful experience one could hope for. It was made even better by our captains, Butch and Al, with their swampers Patrice and Brent. Their knowledge of the river, their attention to safety and their genuine "caring attitude" enhanced this awesome trip. So, I recommend you get a bunch of friends together and experience the river with Wilderness River Adventures-you will long remember your trip and will want to return as we do."
