Rafting the Grand Canyon's Colorado River has been rated as the top adventure activity in America, yet this thrilling tour manages to take it one step further by combining it with a helicopter flight which climbs 4000 feet out of the Canyon!

• 6 hour (47 mile) White Water Rafting trip through the Grand Canyon escorted by Hualapai Indians
• Helicopter flight to the top of the Canyon! 
• Use of Rafting gear - life jackets, helmets etc
• Pick-up and drop-off from Las Vegas Strip hotels
• Services of a driver/guide
• lunch by the Colorado River

The adventure commences as you are picked up from your Las Vegas hotel and transferred to the homeland of the Hualapai Nation, a tribe of native Americans, whose home is a 100 mile stretch along the south side of the Canyon. The journey takes around 3 hours and takes you through the desert to Kingman and Peach Springs before descending into the Canyon itself. 

Now the fun starts! Your Hualapai river runner guides will be waiting for you at the bottom of the Grand Canyon. After being fitted out with life jackets you will climb onto your raft for the trip down the Colorado River. The raft is fitted with a motor, and you don't have to paddle. The first rapid is just yards away from where you started, and you'll soon feel the exhilarating tingle of the white water splashing onto your face! You'll be shooting several class three and four rapids as you travel for 47 miles (75 kilometres) down the mighty Colorado, with the Grand Canyon towering for thousands of feet above you! In between the fun of the rapids, your Hualapai river runner will pull over to the bank, for a short hike to Travertine Canyon and Travertine Falls. Refreshments and lunch are provided on the river. There is actually a lot of wildlife in the canyon. With any luck you may see a condor soaring far overhead, or big horn sheep on the cliffs, as well as wild burros and mustangs. The fun doesn't stop when the rafting finishes!

At the end of the trip a helicopter will be waiting for you to fly you up to the top of the Grand Canyon for spectacualr views of the canyon. After a long but fun filled day, your original guide will take you from the West Rim back to Vegas, passing through the largest grove of Joshua trees in the world.
