One of the most appealing aspects of a Grand Canyon river trip is that you need to bring very little with you to be comfortable. The climate in the canyon is mild, and just a few changes of clothes are needed. Travel light, travel happy! We supply all camping equipment, waterproof river bags, and waterproof camera boxes, and these are included in the cost of your trip. (a detailed list of recommended clothing and personal items to bring on the trip will be sent when reservations are confirmed.)

Our river trips end on the eighth, fourteenth or sixteenth day at South Cove, where a bus will be waiting to pick you up. You will be back in Las Vegas in the evening, giving you an option of staying in Las Vegas or scheduling a late evening flight.

Making Reservations
An early reservation is your best assurance of getting the date you want, so we encourage you to make reservations as soon as possible. We recommend that you call our office before sending us your reservation form to confirm that the date you want is available. If it is, we’ll be glad to hold your reservation for 10 days while your deposit is en route by mail. However, cancellations do occur, so we can frequently accommodate late reservations.

Advance Deposits
A deposit of $500 per person is required. A check, money order or credit card for this amount should accompany your reservation form. The balance is due and payable 120 days prior to departure. When we have received your deposit, we will send you a confirming letter and an invoice indicating amount paid and the date balance is due. Invoices are made out only to the person remitting the deposit.

Cancellations and Refund Policy
Starting in 2009, our cancellation policy applies in every instance and there will be no exceptions for any reason. All cancellations must be received by us in writing. Deposits are promptly refunded, less a $100.00 per invoice cancelation fee, if notice of cancellation is received in our office 120 days or more prior to departure. With less than 120 days notice, all monies are non-refundable and forfeited. If you are concerned about the possibility of having to cancel, we strongly suggest you purchase our trip cancellation insurance to protect your vacation investment. (See our “Questions and Answers” page or our website under trip insurance for further details.)
