AzRA Discovery specializes in running active, multi-day, all inclusive trips; focusing on back country hiking, camping, exploring and learning about the Grand Canyon. We believe a Grand Canyon rafting trip is about more than rapids. We strive to share with and show our guests the other wonders to be had, in addition to the whitewater thrills at the bottom of magnificent Grand Canyon. AzRA’s tours range from 6-16 days in length. Trip options vary from a full canyon trip (225 miles), to a partial canyon trip; rafting either the upper half (90 miles) or the lower half (136 miles) of the Grand Canyon. Our trip lengths on these sections provide the optimum amount of time to experience the Grand Canyon. We run non-motorized (paddle and oar) and motorized trips. We also offer specialty tripssuch as: hiking, yoga, natural history, human history/dory or kayaking. Take the trip of a lifetime and come play with us! « less

My husband and son went on a 6 day river rafting trip through the upper canyon with AZRA. They can't stop talking about it; it was the trip of a lifetime. The guides were fantastic and knowledgeable. The food was very good. The experience A+. The company is well managed, organized, and hires the best guides. From the information we... More

We did a 7 day river rafting trip with Arizona River Rafters. This was so memorable it's hard to put into words. The guides are fantastic and know so much about the history, geology, archeology, and they're awesome cooks too! They navigate the river with such amazing expertise, I was never the least bit nervous. I was the least "able"... More

I took this trip with my family, and I can honestly say that it has been the highlight of my life thus far. We took an 8 day motor trip down the Canyon, and from the very moment we stepped onto the AzRA bus to take us to Lee's Ferry, I felt like I was surrounded by kind, caring, and... More

Start with the Grand Canyon, mix in some incredible hikes, big water whitewater, good friends, and incredible guides and it certainly makes for a trip of a lifetime. The entire AZRA staff did an incredible job to make our trip just awesome. The guides work their tails off and love every minute of it. They are prepared, friendly, confident and... More

If you are planning a float trip on the Colorado go with AzRA! From start to finish the trip was perfectly executed - full of fun, great food, wonderful people (guides and guests!), and of the spectacular scenery of the Grand Canyon! We took a 10-day motor trip through the full canyon (8/26-9/4). I believe AzRA offers a 8-day but... More

A couple of friends and I took a 225 mile 8-day motor trip thru the Grand Canyon with AzRA. If you're looking for a totally off-the-grid experience, this is it. It was like living in a postcard. We bathed in the cold river, slept under the stars, and ate amazing meals prepared by the river guides. AzRA is a top... More

Just returned home from an eight day full canyon motor trip with AZRA. We flew into Phoenix drove to Flagstaff, spend the night and then boarded the bus for the trip. Briefly, a fantastic adventure. We traveled with two kids age 11 and 14 and the trip could not have been better. We are not campers but got into the... More

Family of 4 just returned from an 8 day motor raft trip from Lee's Ferry to Diamond Creek. Traveled 225 miles on the river. 12 passengers on the raft. Great geology lesson plus great river stories along the way. Camped each night along the riverbed under the stars. No need for tents in early June. Daily side hikes were unbelievable.... More

We went on the upper Canyon hybrid trip, where we had one peddle and 4 ore rafts. We absolutely loved it! The trip in it-self, probably, no matter what company you go with, is just absolutely amazing, but if you go with AZRA you will love it even more. They were extremely helpful, the main tour guide (Jeff) was very... More
