No words can describe the magnificence of the Grand Canyon - you simply have to see it for yourself. And just as there’s no better way to explore the canyon than by traveling through its spectacular interior via the Colorado River, there are no better companies to guide you through the canyon than O.A.R.S. and Grand Canyon Dories.
Since 1969, O.A.R.S. and Grand Canyon Dories have been recognized for setting the gold standard for outfitters in the Grand Canyon. That’s because they are the most experienced oar-powered companies in the Canyon – they’ve been offering high quality, in-depth Colorado River trips for over 30 years.
The full-time Grand Canyon guides are legends – their enthusiasm, knowledge and years of experience are unmatched in the industry. The canyon is a home to them; they know its most magical secrets and delight in sharing them with you. They’ll lead fantastic side hikes to Matkatamiba Canyon, Deer Creek Falls, Elves Chasm, Havasu Creek and other lush oases hidden in this desert canyon, and will even take you to one of the best swimming hole sin the West: the warm, turquoise waters of the Little Colorado.
If you can schedule and early spring trip, visit the Canyon in April, when the wildflowers are in full bloom. Or book a trip in October, when cooler temperatures create ideal hiking weather. You’ll also share the canyon with significantly fewer people during these months.
