This was one of the best rafting trips my wife and I have ever been on. Our guide was Grant and the safety raft was Hanna both were top notch, knowledgable, friendly, and professional. The canyon is incredible and the entire trip was great. We were staying in Peoria and the drive was beautiful. If it wasn't for the rafting we would never had seen that part of Arizona and it is worth seeing. The drive is very scenic with great views of the desert and mountains. The full day trip was great and lunch was very good. Grant knows so much about the canyon and river and is an excellent guide and very skilled in rafting and navigating the rapids. Over all a trip not to miss, made our trip to Arizona that much better. Will do in again next time we are here.

We hired Salt River Rafting to do a shuttle for us for a private, self-guided permit we obtained through the lottery process. They were organized, professional, and got our vehicle to the designated take-out on-time. Friendly staff, excellent service!

We had a great time on our rafting trip. Our family group had two seniors, a 40-something year old, and a 9 year old. Everyone had a fantastic time. Our Guide, Ara, was fantastic and obviously knew the river and how to guide a boat very well. Lunch was great and the whole trip was a blast. Ara made everything fun and pointed out all the interesting things along the way. Highly recommended for people of all ages.

This was my first time whitewater rafting and I loved it so much that I’m probably going to make the trip a yearly tradition for the foreseeable future. All of the guides were so friendly and helpful that any nervousness I had quickly disappeared, and they made sure we had a blast all day. The views throughout the entire excursion were absolutely gorgeous and a must see for all Arizona desert lovers. Even the drive to get to the canyon is amazing. On the day we went the rapids were on the milder side (in my subjective opinion) but that just makes me even more excited to try going when the waters are more intense. Even 3 days later I still can’t stop thinking about how much I loved every minute of the day. My only regret is not booking a trip years ago! The guide for my group was Bible, & at one point I misheard a comment he made which made me think he was mispronouncing the word “Chippewa” so I sort of laughed at him. In actuality he was correctly pronouncing the word “Cibecue” and I was the one that was wrong. Please let him know I apologize if I was being rude, and I’m sorry if I confused him. Sometimes you can’t trust us locals, I guess. He was a fantastic guide - pointing out different plants, talking about some of the history of the area, making some jokes, and just providing pleasant conversation. We really loved his outfit too!

The tour company and our guide Sloan were absolutely amazing! We learned a lot and had a great adventure. Shiloh was the guide of the other boat that day, along with the ride back and he too was funny and informative. We really appreciate the whole team and would definitely tour with them again.

This is such a scenic river with great views of the canyon. The rapids were exciting but not too rough for us who don't have any experience. Our guide Shilo was great, he was very skilled and very knowledgeable about the river and surrounding area. He worked hard to make sure me and my family had fun and we did! Great job to everyone on the team. Would definitely recommend this group.

This was an incredible trip. Exciting rapids, beautiful canyons and landscape, different ecosystems in one trip. Our guides were outstanding. Ellis was knowledgeable in the local vegetation, animals, and history of the area. We even saw 3 bald eagles! I camped like a queen. Full cooked fancy meals like chicken fajitas, steak, french toast, eggs and more. The whole crew, Ellis, Bible, Grant, and Sloan were phenomenal. Their ability to pack everything expertly and raft us and our gear contributed to a superb trip. They took care of every need and then some. I would highly recommend Salt River Rafting! I would recommend the 5 day wilderness trip instead of the 3 day as you have more time to explore and enjoy the area.

Salt River Rafting was such an awesome experience! Our guide was excellent as a navigator and also so knowledgeable about the terrain and plants. My husband, brother and I were the only passengers on the raft. The water was fast and furious in some areas, which was an adrenaline rush, and there was plenty of calm periods to relax before the next rapids. The lunch break was delicious, satisfying and gave us energy to finish the trip. So, so, so much fun! I highly recommend this trip. Next time I come to Arizona, I’ll do it again. I’m from Northern California.

Didnt get the memory pictures because of a “camera issue” and I they seemed upset because we paid for a full ride and there was only two us so they wanted us to help them carry the heavy boats back.

We were nervous at first, but the instructors put us at ease right away. They were knowledgeable, informative, and fun. I am bringing my daughter this year, she saw our pictures and is so excited to try it too!

This is a must do with SALT RIVER RAFTING. This group uses professionals that are well seasoned, safe and trustworthy. They are one of the smaller companies out there but will delivery an amazing rafting adventure.

The weather couldn't be better. Our guide Shiloh was fun, educational, professional and made the trip special. The food they serve at lunch is Always great. I have been on their trips before. All the guides and support crew are hard workers ,safety conscious, professional and a lot of fun. The Canyon is just so beautiful. We actually saw a bald eagle on the beach. Highly recommend!

This was an amazing river trip. The guide, Marcus, was outstanding. He maneuvered the raft expertly even with 2 small children up front. He gave us lots of details on the sights, wildlife, and habitat. No fear just a ton of fun!! Lunch was delicious. With the wetsuits, you don't feel the cold.

Went 04/20/23 and had a fabulous experience!! Greg Bible was our Raft Guide, very knowledgeable on history, flora and fauna. Easy instructions and so fun. Told us each rapid name. After a particular exciting rapid he would have us do a paddle high five. 6 of us in the boat, paddling before each rapid. We stopped for lunch at 2nd camp, they made chicken fajitas. Yummy. More exciting rapids the second part. He lined us up on the last rapid (Mescal) and yelled "Lean in". Down and up in the river, quite the ride! At our pull out spot, we hauled the boat out to the trailer and had a nice ride back in an open aired jeep type of vehicle. The wildflowers blooming everywhere, just spectacular. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!! They also have a 3-4 day camp outing as well.

Guides were great! Pointed out points of interest and did their best to keep everyone safe. Equipment in good shape. Scenery was perfect that time of year. Lunch was an unexpected yummy experience! I was anticipating boring sandwiches. lol Only down point was delay getting started/getting everyone geared up/in the water. It could have gone faster. But there were 2 BIG groups going about same time. So likely the problem. My rec: don't keep on all of the gear until you get down by the river, was too hot. Try it on to make sure it fits, but carry down. Try to car pool, as parking is limited and you should anyways. :-)
