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.

My daughter and I did a birthday trip for her down the Salt River. We waited two years to book this as this is the first year there was enough water to raft. What an awesome trip! The rapids were fun, the scenery was great, and we got the front of the raft - lot's of white water, splashed, and excitement on several of the class 3 spots. I would recommend it for those that have not rafted before and even for those that have. We have rafted in CO, OR, WY, and this was one of the best. Book the full day trip and you'll also be treated to lunch.
