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 went with our 14 yr. daughter and another family that had a 13 and 10 yr. old. We laughed, we screamed, we ate delicious fajitas, we learned a few things from our guide Denis who was really great at putting up with us and we all were sad when it was over! You MUST buy the pictures afterwards because it's proof what you did and it's hilarious to see who is actually getting soaked, who is actually paddling and doing the work and who is falling inside the raft laughing. I was nervous that it was going to be freezing since the water temperature is cold. I highly recommend wearing the wet suit and wet suit booties on your feet. They give you a splash jacket that keeps you warm and of course, the sun will warm you up too. I'm a big wimp when it comes to being cold and I was very comfortable. This is great family fun! We will definitely do it again!

Glad you shared time with your daughter and included us. Rafting is a great way for the generations to bond! Denis is a ton of fun. So you next time!

We did the full day sprint....the whole ten miles but without lunch (just a snack stop). Big water, big fun and guide Glenn was awesome, keeping us all in the boat. If you have a chance on the last rapid to ride the bull...DO IT!!!
