For anyone considering rafting The Colorado River through The grand Canyon, I highly highly recommend choosing Advantage Grand Canyon Adventure Rafting Trips and Tours. I booked the 10-day full Canyon/hiking trip and was THRILLED with this Life-Altering experience. The five staff who motored the boats and lead the trip were all AMAZING!

Thank you Advantage Grand Canyon for booking an incredible rafting trip for us! Our extended family (12 in all) had an amazing week with Hatch Expeditions. Some of the highlights included:
• Masterful boat drivers and crew who kept us safe while providing an exciting ride! Their knowledge of and love for the Canyon and River were obvious, and the stories they shared added richness to our experience.
• Stopping at some of the most beautiful places we have ever seen! From waterfalls in a desert land to the turquoise water of the Little Colorado and Havasu Creek, we hiked, swam and explored new places every day.
• Delicious meals with dietary accommodations. It was impressive to see how a crew of three could prepare restaurant quality food for the entire group using camp stoves and Dutch ovens. Incredible!
• Breathtaking beauty, and a full moon! The scenery was even more extraordinary than we imagined, and the moonlight relecting on the walls of the Canyon was stunning.
We had such a wonderful trip that we are already talking about our next one. Thank you for connecting us with Hatch Expeditions. We will definitely book with you again.

I traveled with two of my sons, my future daughter in-law, and one of their friends. The best thing about the trip was watching them have the time of their lives.
I used Advantage Grand Canyon to book a 6 day motor raft trip in May 2022 and have no complaints about the service. The information they supplied was useful, and all the arraignments were carried out in an efficient manner. Any questions I had were answered quickly and thoughtfully. If you need help finding a rafting company, I recommend using them.

AGC is such a great resource when trying to plan a Grand Canyon rafting trip. I had no idea this type of company existed, but recommend using them to help simplify things. Instead of spending time contacting individual tour companies, trying to check availability, ACG does the hard stuff like that for you. We let them know when we could travel, and the basic details for the type of trip we wanted to take, and they let us know what was available. They had great communication and were friendly throughout the process.

This was absolutely the trip of a lifetime. I wish I had done this earlier in my life as well. This company is actually an agent for Wilderness River Adventures, but we actually got a better price working through them. Their customer service was outstanding. They even supported a pre-trip zoom Q&A call with all of the fellow rafters.
My preference would have been to arrange a place to stay the night before the trip in the town of Page. This would have saved a lot of driving to Lake Powell Resort and back to town in the morning.... And we would have many more dining options that evening.

This company was terrific. I highly recommend them as you are navigating which trip/experience is best for you given your specific needs. We were traveling with 7 people ranging in age from 18-60 so had varying needs. They helped us understand the impact of certain decisions. Highly recommend their expertise

The best way to explore and book river rafting options, through the Grand Canyon, is with Advantage Grand Canyon. The Advantage Grand Canyon interactive website allows you to explore various rafting options based upon criteria that are important to you, the rafter. These criteria could be age of rafters, number of rafters, number of days available for trip, willingness and ability to hike 7-10 hours into or out of the canyon, cost, willingness and ability to do most of the paddling or be on a motorized raft, dietary needs and more. Once you have decided on what is going to be your ideal trip of a lifetime, you can actually talk to an expert on the Advantage Grand Canyon team to clarify any questions or concerns before you book your trip. Advantage Grand Canyon has videos and check list for all your pre-trip needs. Then you can book you trip with Advantage Grand Canyon. But their service and care do not end with booking your trip. Andy and the team periodically check in with you via email with updated information to address any concerns. The team is also available 7 days a week via phone, to answer any questions or address concerns. Our extended family of 12 just completed a 6 day rafting trip of a life time, and it all started with the excellent help and guidance from the Advantage Grand Canyon team. Thank you, Andy and team members.

This was a family connection. We took 2 Teenage girls unwilling to leave wifi and modern gagets behind. We had a blast and we all connected with the other families or adults that were on the trip. We had such a great time at the Bar 10 Ranch initially which was packed fill of fun things to do, skiet shooting, ATV into the Grand Canyon, slept in a wagon, met wonderful fellow travellers and were entertained by the staff at Bar 10. Next morning we helicoptered into the Grand Canyon to start our amazing trip through the Grand Canyon that kept us constantly entertained. Must do trip for all ages.

Advantage Grand Canyon hooked us up with Canyon Explorations, the actual outfitter and guide service. Can X provided skilled, knowledgeable, hard-working guides...top notch equipment...excellent food. They could not have done a better job. It was a superb experience. If you're considering this trip, I highly recommend Canyon Explorations.

Advantage Grand Canyon is excellent ! My original rafting trip was cancelled in may 2020 due to covid. Alexandra and advantage Grand Canyon were flexible, communicative and helped me reschedule easily for this year. They are super responsive and truly want to help aspiring rafters find the perfect trip. In the end, I had an amazing, life changing trip. Highly recommend advantage Grand Canyon canyon !

What's the fee to get in? Just to walk around. Thanks
Written 4 December 2017
Hi Christina, thanks for your question. The current rate is $12 per person (that is entering the park via Grand Canyon Railway, the park shuttle bus, private rafting trip, by walking or riding a bicycle) but will soon increase to $15. If driving into the park the single vehicle entrance fee is currently $25 (which covers up to 4 passenger's entrance fee) but will soon increase to $30. Vehicle passes are good for up to 7 days. Please let us know if you have any additional questions!

I'm staying in Scotsdale in October and told I should visit the Grand Canyon . My reading tells me it should be an organised trip with an overnight stay. I am looking for views only as I'm not the best of travellers, so something on foot once I get there. I won't be driving either, so need a transfer. Not good at flying, sailing etc. Any suggestions with fair pricing as I'm in Arizona for a wedding which also has its costs, but can't go that far without doing a few things. Any suggestions seriously considered.

Hello Cookie325, Thanks for your question! To get to the Grand Canyon, I would recommend utilizing Arizonashuttle from Phoenix to the Grand Canyon South Rim (with a short stop in Flagstaff) and return at trip's end. I don't necessarily think it needs to be an organized trip because once you make it to the Grand Canyon, there is a free shuttle offered by the National Park, transporting you throughout the grounds as well as the many look out posts along the rim's edge. Lodging accommodations inside the park are all handled by Xanterra. If no availability, look into Tusayan Village which is just a short 10 minute (free shuttle) drive to the South Rim. I hope this helps!
