A Most Wonderful Fall Day on the Water! - Our rafting trip was the highlight of my trip West to see the Grand Canyon, Zion National Park, Antelope Canyon and Horseshoe Bend. I loved being on the water, it was a gorgeous day with a little Fall crisp in the air! Everyone at Wilderness River Adventures were absolutely wonderful! They were all so helpful and kind. I believe our bus driver's name was Mike, had a British accent, he was delightful and so knowledgeable. Kelly was our tour guide on the raft and she was phenomenal! She made the trip so enjoyable with her vast knowledge and humor. I would do this trip again and would highly recommend it to anyone and everyone!

Best adventure of our vacation - Best part of our vacation! From Laverne at front desk, manager Rachel, and Jazmine, the best boat tour guide ever, we had a great experience. I will only book with them. “Get your guide” completely messed up our reservation and these ladies went out of their way to take care of us!

Error turned Adventure - Wilderness River Adventures was incredible! There was an issue with our reservation and Rachel was extremely nice and helpful. It was apparent how much she loves the area, her job, coworkers, and sharing this experience with others. Jazmine was our tour guide and she was a wealth of knowledge. If I wasn’t learning from her or in awe of the scenery, I was finding myself laughing. I highly recommend Jazmine as her excitement for the canyons and River remain present in her guided tours.

Wonderful raft trip - Kris was our guide and she did an AMAZING job showing us every nook and cranny of the canyon, pointing out wildlife, telling entertaining stories, and talking about the science behind each feature of the area. We had an amazing time learning and experiencing Glen Canyon and Horseshoe bend with a stop at Petroglyph beach. Thank you, Kris!

Great day. Highly recommend. - Nice day on the water. Wonderful guide. The bus ride was quick and the driver narration was just enough. Boats were comfy - wear a raincoat because there is a little splash. I would recommend.

Family River Adventure - Our family of five (two adults, three children age 13, 10, and 7) took the half day river tour from Lee’s Ferry. We chose the self drive option so that we could do some exploring before and after the tour and the instructions were very easy to follow. It was easy to find the check in point at Lee’s Ferry. We had a wonderful experience and our guide, Kris, was fabulous. She was extremely environmentally conscientious and safety focused for the children. She made sure to point out all of the interesting features and great photo opportunities along the way as well as ensuring that we had fun. It was laid back and fun to see the river in this way. You cannot appreciate the vastness of Glen Canyon if you do not get in the river. We had an incredible day!
