Book a Private Grand Canyon Rafting Trip With Us

A private trip is a great way for friends, families, or business associates to share an exciting vacation together. Organizing a private trip also offers you an opportunity to take our 8-day river trip at a reduced rate: you will get one free space for each raft you charter. On chartered trips, you may book one or two rafts with a maximum of 14 people per boat.

The greatest advantage of a private trip is the opportunity to choose your companions. You select the number of people you wish to have in your party. If a small group appeals to you, you may bring less than the maximum number. Over the years we have accommodated many different groups and we are happy to help you arrange a private trip that suits you.

Any date listed on our current motorized expeditions schedule is available for a private trip of either 1 or 2 rafts. To reserve the date and number of rafts you want, an EARLY reservation is recommended.

Provide each trip member with a copy of the Grand Canyon Expeditions Company Brochure or our website URL, detailed expedition information, photo and liability releases, and any other information sent from our office.
Provide our office with a complete list of persons making the trip, their birth dates, addresses, email addresses, and medical/dietary restrictions no later than 90 days prior to the trip departure. If a change in trip member occurs, please notify us immediately. This information can also be filled out by each participant online, with a unique website link provided by Grand Canyon Expeditions.
Remit deposits and payments following the outlined schedule. The deposit and balance should be paid by one check or credit card each, not by individual payments from trip members.
Distribute and return to our office all signed Acknowledgement of Risk forms no later than 90 days prior to departure. This can also be done online with each participant applying their electronic signature to our form. (with the same link sent out to fill out their information)
Handle all cancellations, replacements, and refunds to individual trip members. We suggest that the trip organizer make a “wait list” of persons who would join the trip in case of cancellation. As changes are almost inevitable when plans are made far in advance, it is good planning to have alternatives available.

An advance deposit of $1,000 or $2,000 is required at the time reservations are requested. The remaining first half is due by January 15, 2024. The balance is due and payable no later than 120 days prior to trip departure.

The private trip rate is a guaranteed amount paid to Grand Canyon Expedition Company. Refunds for individual cancellations or replacements are the responsibility of the trip organizer.

The advance deposit of 50% is refundable less a $500 cancellation fee if notice is received in our office in writing, 120 days or more prior to the departure. With less than 120 days’ notice, the entire payment is forfeited.
