We provide half-day and full day tours that are perfect for the entire family (kids aged 4 and up).Departing from the scenic town of Page, Arizona, your trip will begin with an exciting and exclusive ride down the two-mile long Glen Canyon Dam access tunnel. At river level, with the dam soaring 700 feet above you, you will board a comfortable pontoon raft for your journey downstream.For the next fifteen miles, you will experience one of the most dramatic stretches of river in the western United States. Your experienced guide will tell the story of the area’s soaring sandstone cliffs, crystal blue-green waters, abundant wildlife, exploration by Major John Wesley Powell and others, and the river's modern role in the Southwest’s water and power delivery system.A stop to view an impressive set of ancient petroglyphs will offer a you chance to stretch your legs and enjoy your lunch while bearing witness to the area’s former inhabitance by ancient native cultures. If you choose, you may also refresh yourself by wading in the cold, clear river.The river portion of your trip ends at historic Lees Ferry, gateway to the Grand Canyon. Here you will board your bus for the short ride back to Page, where your vehicle or other transportation awaits. « less

We took the 1/2 day float trip on May 24th. This was originally scheduled for May 23rd but that trip was canceled due to high winds and safety concerns. Colorado River Discovery made room for us on May 24th. The trip was great and the scenery fantastic. Our guide was outstanding and pointed out stories and scenery we would have... More

Fantastic 15 Mile boat trip on the Colorado River - with Paul. Tour guide Paul was so kind and knowledgeable - it was very scenic and peaceful - the wind can pop up at some turns and you get a couple of drops on you... but dress in layers as it will be both hot and cold. Boats are stable... More

We did the morning trip on May 20. It was one of the best tours I have ever been on. Our guide, Rob, was THE BEST!! He was personable and knew all about the rocks, plant life, animal life, dam, Page, and just about anything else you could ask him. The view were breathtaking. This is a must do while... More

Our guide, Lauren, was friendly, fun and really knew her stuff. We learned so much but the trip was relaxing as well. It was very professional and organized - even the... More

Driving the bus down through the rock tunnel to the bottom of the dam was a thrill and that was just the beginning! Our tour was 4-5 boats, but we had the advantage of being on the first boat, and our guide Brad pulled us out front and for most of the afternoon it was as if we had the... More

The sun was hot for our 1pm half-day float trip, but the trip was wonderful. Everyone at CRD was great. I bought a bistro bag lunch which I thought great value at $9.95. Scenery can't be beat. Our guide Ashlee had a bucket of cold water if anyone wanted to dip a shirt, bandana etc in to cool off. There... More

Thank you for a wonderful experience. The entire organization of the trip including providing lunch bags, check-in, boarding and un-boarding busses and boats was excellent and very professional. My German visitors were delighted and enjoyed everything from the smooth float and grandiose scenery to the knowledgeable presentation of factual information and refreshments on the boat. Meghan did an outstanding job... More
