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!

Went on our first white water rafting trip TODAY. I’m writing this review now because I cannot believe what an incredible experience we just had. You will not regret this trip. All of the guides were so funny and entertaining. They made the trip even more amazing. But above all they are very experienced. I don’t know about you, but I want an experienced guide just in case things go wrong. I felt completely safe with this crew. I highly recommend the Wilderness Aware Rafting team. Our entire boat felt the same way. If you’ve ever wanted to try this out my advice is just do it! It’s the most fun you’ll ever have.

My family and I had a great time on this rafting trip. Our guide was great and very informative. The river was perfect. We had great rapids. The lunch they served was exceptional. I would recommend this trip to anyone visiting AZ.

We did the full-day trip during a trip to Phoenix for Spring Break. It was about a two-hour drive from our hotel in Tempe, but it was well worth it. March is the best time due to snow melt, and the guides told us this year is the best rafting conditions they have seen in several years. The guides were friendly and knowledgeable and the fajita lunch was great, but the scenery stole the show. The weather was beautiful, and the Salt River Canyon is amazing. The view from the river is something you cannot see from any road. It must be see to be appreciated.
