What To Expect

Salt River

The Salt River is very remote. It is located on the White Mountain Apache Reservation, 45 miles from the nearest town and the basics of civilization. In this primitive environment, you need an outfitter that provides the basic necessities for health and comfort in addition to what is most important—a fun-loving, educated guide that keeps safety first and foremost. We have top-of-the-line rafting and camping equipment you can rely on through the roughest rapids or the most challenging weather conditions. Our professional, experienced, and fun-loving staff return year after year to share the canyon and its secrets & they always put your safety first. A trip on the Salt River in Arizona is wild and isolated with extreme beauty and offers fantastic rafting. Join Arizona Rafting for the whitewater trip of a lifetime!

We visited in a group of 12. The trip was A-mazing! The water flow was perfect and our guide was AWESOME! We had such a great time that many of my coworkers now want to do a trip next year. Thank you to all the guides who made our trip one to be talked about for years to come.

excellent trip down the Salt River. Went end of April, water was quite high due to the amount of snow over the winter. Guides were great, felt very safe. Got really wet, which was great. Equipment excellent. They provided wet suits and booties if requested.

We had a great time on the Salt River! Justin was great, very knowledgeable, and we felt very safe with him. My husband and I have both complete several rafting trips in other states and countries. The Salt River doesn’t have the biggest rapids given it’s in the middle of the desert, but the scenery is beautiful and it’s still a really fun adventure! We will definitely visit again! This is a great river for first time rafters.
