My mom, brothers, sister-in-law and I went on the 7 day rafting trip with Western down the Grand Canyon. It was the best vacation that I have ever been on and I have traveled all over the world. The guides were extremely friendly and funny and very good at what they do, which is everything. The food that they prepared... More

Just returned from 3-day river adventure (after spending day at Bar Ten Ranch). Wow! We had never been camping before and feel that we still have not been camping... RD, Parker, Ronnie & Jeff were the best. Perfect blend of education, team bonding, exilerating rapids combined with 5-star service with full meals served three times daily, including surprise birthday cakes... More

I did the 6 day 5 night trip down Grand Canyon last year and came back this year to do 3 day 2 night to finish it out. I had a great time and my trip was positively awesome. Guides were great both trips!

What a beautiful way to see the Grand Canyon. The whole experience, from booking to actual rafting with Western River was 5 star! Our river guides were very experienced and safety was their 1st priority. It was fun to hear their stories and also listen to their knowledge of the Grand Canyon. We took the 3 day expedition and the... More

Nothing but kudos to our crew/guides(RD, Shad, Gracie, Kurt) and Western River for an experience to remember...for all the right reasons !....meals well exceeded expectations, engaging, very informative, intelligent, adept and caring crew..... And as for the canyon...just one comment: if you haven't "seen" the Grand Canyon from the perspective of at least 6 days on the river....you haven't seen... More

Although I am not an adventurous person, this was the best trip ever. We had four wonderful guides who were always looking out for our safety and happiness. Corey, Joe, Scott and Parker weren't just pretty faces...they were gourmet chefs. We had fajitas, fresh trout, cake made in a dutch oven...and blueberry pancakes. All of the guides had positive attitudes... More

I did not want to go through the Grand Canyon on a raft. It was my wifes idea. At the beginning of the trip I was crying. By the end with the help of the Western River guides I was so happy! You will get the best care. They drive the boat so you just watch the beautiful scenery and... More

It's taken us years to finally take this trip and the Grand Canyon is one of the most amazing beauties on the earth. We were on the 6 days, 5 nights trip. The beauty of the canyon and river was endless and you will never tire of looking at it. The river rafting was a blast with extreme adrenaline rushes.... More

I went on the six day Colorado River rafting trip with Western River and it was well worth the money, time, wet feet, and freedom from all smart phones and ipads! Bring your appetite because the meals are fantastic. Even better than the food is the caliber of the guides who guaranteed our safety and protected us from ourselves. It... More
