This 13-night/14-day oar expedition is similar to the 12-day rowing experience, but travels 225 miles during the “no motors” season and allows for an additional two days to relax and explore the canyon. Your journey begins in Page, AZ, and ends with a bus ride out of Diamond Creek to Peach Springs, AZ and a charter flight to Page or Las Vegas. This is a premiere multi-day whitewater rafting vacation that will take you 225 miles through the Grand Canyon (from Lees Ferry to Diamond Creek). Visit Marble Canyon, Redwall Cavern, Little Colorado, Elves Chasm, Deer Creek Havasu and more. Run some of the biggest rapids in the world: “Hance”, “House Rock”, “Hermit", "Horn Creek”, “Crystal”, and “The Famous Lava”. Touch rocks almost half as old as the earth.
Leave your watches behind and the details to Wilderness River Adventures. Your trip is not measured in hours and minutes - only from sun-up till sun-down. Your only schedule is to arrive at the take-out destination the morning of the last day of your expedition. So relax, and enjoy the grandeur of the Canyon.
