People come on motor trips with us in the Grand Canyon because they want the comfort and security of a larger motorized raft, a personal group size, and more time in the Canyon for exploration.

A motor trip is a wonderful way to experience the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon on an 8-day or a 10-day whitewater rafting adventure. Arizona Raft Adventures and Grand Canyon Discovery take a lot of pride in producing what we believe is the best motor trip available in the Grand Canyon at any price. Our motor trips are perfect for people who want the sense of security and comfort of a larger raft, more time in the Canyon for exploration and a moderate group size.

Not only are our rafts roomier than other commercial motor trips in the Grand Canyon, most of our trips are comprised of one boat that is held to around 13 passengers. We also have several two boat trips with a maximum of 22 guests. On either a one boat trip or a two boat trip, our group sizes are smaller than most other motor outfitters. In addition, your group will remain together the entire trip without the interruption of other guests leaving or joining the trip at exchange points. This means you get more personal attention from our guides and bonding with new friends is natural and easy in this setting. Finally, Arizona Raft Adventures pioneered the use of quiet, four stroke engines, and the motors are just big enough to steer our 32-34 foot long rafts. Our custom designed boat is comfortable and still offers excitement through the rapids.

*On certain occasions your trip may end on Lake Mead. Although rare, in the case of severe flooding on Diamond Creek road (the road we have to travel down to pick you up at Diamond Creek), we will have to take you all the way to Lake Mead. You will still return to Flagstaff that day but it will be late in the evening.
