Americas - United States - Grand Canyon

Adventure Travel

When it comes to experiencing – not just seeing – the Grand Canyon, no one does it better than the Adventure Collection’s Grand Canyon specialists. George Wendt, founder of AC member company O.A.R.S., first rafted through this legendary American heartland four decades ago. Back in 1969, George was granted one of the first non-motorized Grand Canyon river rafting outfitting licenses. Since then, we’ve gained unparallelled experience conducting non-motorized trips down the canyon’s lifeblood, the Colorado River. We offer the option of long itineraries and a laid-back pace that allows time to soak up the enormity of the canyon’s character. And we strictly limit the number of travelers on our Grand Canyon trips to ensure our passengers enjoy the best possible, least crowded river adventure. What’s more, we offer two means to these incredible ends: 18’ neoprene rafts and 17’ hard-hulled dories. Because rafts are inflatable, they ride on top of the water and have a certain amount of give to them; therefore, when a large wave hits them, they tend to flex a little and roll over the rapids. The dories are sleek, elegant boats made of fiberglass, wood and foam; as a hard-hulled boat, it has no give, so when a large wave hits it, the dory is lifted, providing a more pronounced, up-and-down ride through the whitewater. Whichever way you choose, journeying through the Grand Canyon on the Colorado is an experience you’ll never forget.
