Colorado River Rafting Vacations
 

Western River Expeditions' Rafts

Whether you’re planning to run the big whitewater of the Colorado River through Grand Canyon or Cataract Canyon or if you'd prefer to take it easy on the more mild rapids found on Utah’s Green River, Western River has the perfect fleet of rafts to take you there. Since we match the size of our rafts to the size of the whitewater, you are guaranteed to have fun ride. We pride ourselves in always maintaining the most advanced and up-to-date equipment in the industry so that you can feel safe and confident when you raft with Western River Expeditions.
J-Rig Raft  

Ride big whitewater on western's patented J-rig raft

Bigger rapids demand bigger rafts, such as Western's patented J-Rig. Where the Colorado River carves through Cataract Canyon earlier in the summer and on our Grand Canyon 3 Day, Grand Canyon 4 Day and Grand Canyon 6 Day trips, J-Rigs are the vessel of choice for maximum excitement and safety. Environmentally friendly, quiet 4-stroke motors power these rugged rafts specially built for Western.

Rowboat

Experience whitewater fun in a rowboat

Western matches its boats to the challenges of its rivers. On the Green River, Westwater, Salmon River, Snake River, Cataract (later in the summer) and half to 2-day Colorado River trips, guides adeptly maneuver five-passenger rowboats. These specially designed boats are "self-bailing" which means that you'll never touch a bail bucket, except for an impromptu water fight!
