Salt River Rafting 1/2-Day Trip
Phoenix, AZ
Get a full day of froth on our Salt River One Day Raft Trip! Here in the “other” Grand Canyon, the Salt promises for an exciting day filled with 10-12 “wet and fun” Class III rapids!
The rapids churn up every 5 to 10 minutes in this unbelievable 2,000-foot deep canyon. You’ll get about 4-5 hours on the water, with a signature steak lunch to oblige.
Salt River one day trips start at $159.00.

Enjoy a smaller guide to guest ratio (up to 6 guests) and more personalized trip. With 5 or more guests you are guaranteed a private raft and you can request a smaller 12 or 13-foot raft** to provide more adventure (if water levels allow), or an oar raft for a more conservative run.
