Half Day Smooth Water Rafting Trip

Overview
Great for all ages, enjoy a ride through a 2-mile long tunnel to the base of Glen Canyon Dam where you will walk to your river raft with sandstone walls soaring 700 feet above you. Your friendly guide will help you aboard our roomy 32-foot raft. Then sit back and relax as you take in the sights and stories of the Colorado River in Glen Canyon including the rich natural and human history of the region. You’ll make a beach stop, where you can take a short hike to see a petroglyph panel and even take a quick dip in the cool river. Back aboard your river raft, you’ll float through iconic Horseshoe Bend. Look for rainbow trout in the crystal-clear water, dozens of birds nesting on the banks of the river and possibly a herd of big horn sheep along the way. Your raft trip ends at historic Lees Ferry, where you’ll board our buses for the ride back to River Headquarters.

Our Horseshoe Bend Rafting Trips are completely family-friendly. We provide chilled water and lemonade. Book your spot now!

We enjoyed seeing the lake on the boat. We saw the dam and how low the water is. For us, the tour was just too long. We got there at the time that was recommended and then sat around about waited for 45 minutes. They took us down to the boat on little carts that held 5 people at a time. That was tedious. We were in the second group so we were able to get seats on the top. If I had to sit downstairs on the inside I would have given this trip a very poor rating. You can't really see anything from the inside when you are three seats from the window. We went so slow in so many places because of the wake zones. We didn't get back and in our car until 3 hours and 40 minutes later. That was about 2 hours too long for us. We went out and then came back the exact some way so you are looking at the same things again. It wouldn't be bad, but it was just way too long sitting around. We did stand for a while and went down to the back of the boat, but it was just too boring for us. Plus, I made a mistake booking this because I thought it was taking us to Horseshoe Bend. That was my misunderstanding, but I was disappointed so that didn't help. Anyway, it was very LONG. I think kids would hate it. Do something more adventurous.
