I was guided on an 11-day rafting and hiking expedition on the Colorado River through then entire Grand Canyon. It was truly an exceptional experience with a professional company who truly cared about our encounter with both the river and canyon. I chose the motorized trip so I could focus on the hiking within one of the true wonders-of-the-world. For... More

We did the upper portion of the Colorado... 5 days... and had a blast. CRATE guides were tops, caring for the group in every way. We hit RAIN...lots of it on 2 of the days, and still felt spoiled! Great food, gear, explanations about the canyon's history. Glad we went with a smaller company and loved the combo of the... More

Just returned from our 11 day private motorized rafting and hiking trip down the Grand Canyon. The trip was truly exceptional and memorable! CRATE guides were professional, knowledgeable and treated us like family! Their passion was as big and as inspiring as the canyon itself. Great meals. Our 26 participants could not come up with enough superlatives to describe the... More

My friends and I originally wanted to do a paddling trip but we organised it too late and we had to resort to a motorised rafting trip. But I have no regrets whatsoever! Coming from France (I didn't really really know what to expect) I met very nice and fun people of every age which made the trip really worthwhile.... More

This trip is one of the best things my son and I have ever done. The Canyon itself is the star of the show (of course) but the CRATE raft guides provided the perfect combo of adventure (hikes and exploring) and comfort (good food and just the right blend of daring and safety on the raft.) Top notch.

2 weeks ago I had one of the most amazing vacations of my life, a rafting trip through the Grand Canyon with CRATE. The hike down to the boat was quite a struggle (especially for a non-hiker), but it was more than worth it. Our 5 day, 4 night trip was filled with delicious meals, amazing scenery, and endless fun.... More

My husband kept waiting for our youngest to turn 12 so we could take them all camping and rafting down the Colorado River and see the birdseye view of the Grand Canyon. CRATE made the trip perfect! I have 7 children 12-18, and we brought them all along with Grandpa Fred, 86. I am not a big fan of camping... More

OMG, this really is one of those trips that exceeds all expectations and you leave with your head spinning, realizing what an adventure you were just on and then trying to fiqure out how to explain it. The hike down to the river from the rim was great. Tip: Have mules take the heavy stuff down, so you can enjoy... More
