Grand Canyon Expeditions

The trip was really amazing! The the guides and the other guides were great! It felt like we were part of a larger family. The weather was great, sleeping under the stars was amazing and the meals were so delicious. Everyday we got to see sun rise and set over the rim. Our geology information helped make the trip come alive. Seeing the big horn sheep everyday was amazing. Thanks for a wonderful trip!

If you’re thinking about floating the Grand Canyon, this is the company to do it with. Captain Mark and Captin Maddie with first mate Anders and Dana are Rockstars. They ran the most seamless show I’ve ever seen. Diligently working together and making sure we all had a great time. We definitely had a large rambunctious crew with us, including some of our older Sr. Family members and they could easily have the options to take the easy way on day walks and stay mostly dry on the boat. Hats off to the crew for the food that was provided 5 stars in a canyon! If your are thinking about doing this. This is the team you want to take you down one of the best wonders of the world.

We could not have asked for a better trip! Our family of five just rafted the Grand Canyon last week with Dave, Mackenzie, Maddie, and Sedona. What an incredible crew — they worked tirelessly to make the adventure fun and safe, and they fed us SO well. We ate fresher food at the bottom of the canyon than we do at home. And more importantly, they were all delightful humans who love this beautiful world and are thrilled to share it with others. It was a trip of a lifetime, and we are so grateful to everyone involved.

This was the trip of a lifetime! Beautiful scenery, rapids and camping. I expected some hard work, but the crew (Duffy, Jackie, Madi and Big Al) did so much for us, the whole week was easy. I can't thank you guys enough for the memories. I'm going again!

My group and I had the best 8 days exploring the Grand Canyon thanks to the knowledge, care, and leadership of our crew. Den, Orion, Jacque, and Parker provided amazing meals, fun hikes, immaculate attention to detail, and great stories along the way! I will never forget my time down there thanks to everyone at GCE.

The 8 day motorized trip was amazing! The crews were professional in every way, from safety to the delicious meals they prepared! The people I met were just as memorable and fun as the trip, and the peaceful feeling the canyon offered made this a lifetime experience! I highly recommend GCE if you want to see and experience the Grand Canyon from a perspective that can not be found anywhere else!

Another AWESOME adventure w/ GCE on the mighty Colorado River! We had 28 friends & family along to share the thrills of the rapids, the light of the full moon, the gazillion stars, and various rock formations along the way. Zach, Den, Eric, & Kami took great care of us on the river, on hikes, and at camp. So much camaraderie and so much fun. We are already planning another trip!

I cannot put into adequate words how much I enjoyed my trip down the Grand Canyon with this company. My friend chose GCE because of their long history of running Dorys down the river, requiring a high level of competence....they did not disappoint. Our badass team (who just happened to be women - the first time they'd worked together) were kind, professional, and super-efficient. It was clear they all had a profound love and deep knowledge of the river. I know I can speak for everyone on my trip when I say that we knew we were in good hands at all times, even during a monstrous rainstorm that required the rescue of several stranded river goers from other groups...we were kept safe and sound. The communication from the staff was perfect throughout, the food was AMAZING, the laughs too many to count, the journey fantastic. This was in all aspects a life-affirming adventure, made possible by the entire team at Grand Canyon Expeditions. Thanks to Brendyce, Ana, Alex and Cooper (and the entire GCE staff) for being the lead architects in memories made for a lifetime!

I want to sing the praises for our guides, Emily and Bert, on the May 15-22 Raft B expedition. Emily’s awareness of every bend and rock in the river and Bert’s knowledge of the Canyon’s geology and fantastic cooking skills made this an unforgettable experience. In addition, they both offered words of encouragement and a helping hand on some of the trickier parts of the trails we hiked. (I’m over 70 and hardly consider myself an outdoorsman.) I should add that by the end of the week, my 13 fellow guests and I deeply appreciated the stories and adventures we shared as our bonds strengthened every day of our journey through what I consider to be the most magnificent place on planet Earth. This adventure has been on my bucket list for decades. My heartfelt thanks to everyone at GCE, including the orientation staff who helped set the stage the night before we left, for a week I’ll never forget.

Dear Anna, Big Al,Kitty, Brandon, Kevin & Berry, I just wanted to take a moment to express my heartfelt thanks to each of you for making my Colorado river trip such an amazing experience. Your hard work, expertise, and attention to detail truly made all the difference. From navigating the rapids to keeping the atmosphere fun and safe, you all went above and beyond. The memories we made on the river will last a lifetime, and it wouldn’t have been the same without you guys . I appreciate all the effort you put into making sure everything ran smoothly, and I’m so grateful for the camaraderie and support along the way. Thank you again for being such a fantastic team and for making this trip one for the books! With gratitude, John Duenes
