Itinerary

Meet a driver at your Sedona hotel for 6am departure, then enjoy views of the desert as you drive through Oak Creek Canyon on your way to the top of the Colorado Plateau—from there, you’ll have views of the San Francisco Peaks, Arizona’s tallest volcano.

Descend into the Painted Desert to the historic Cameron Trading Post, where Zuni, Hopi, and Navajo artists display their work, then continue to Page, to begin your river trip (total distance from Sedona to Page is 158 miles, or 254 km).

Board an inflatable raft, then launch into the current of the Colorado River. With 3.5 hours on the water, you’ll pass through Glen Canyon on your way to Lee’s Ferry, a remarkably scenic stretch of the river. See cliffs that rise straight from the river, then pull to the side of the water for lunch on a beach with ancient petroglyphs. Challenge yourself to a swim in the cold river, then dry off and warm up on the final stretch to Lee’s Ferry.

Meet the vehicle at the take out point, and begin the return trip to Sedona, with stops to see balancing rocks in the desert, and to walk across the Navajo Bridge. This full-day tour concludes with drop-off at the original departure point.

Beautiful trip!

Britney_L, Jul 2024
This was the most beautiful thing that we did on our Arizona trip! It's a calm raft ride down the river and back. The scenery of the canyon walls was something else up close, it left us in awe. Each guide does things differently, but our raft guide, Frank, took our pictures for us, told us Navajo stories and real historical stories, would make stops to point out different features and teach us some geology as well. The river was cold! However, the ride was hot! Be prepared for that. They made a stop for us to eat lunch, use the restroom and see some old petroglyphs. It was definitely worth it!

Disappointed

Going down Glenn Canyon after experiencing the Grand Canyon is like having to stay home while everyone else went to the Super Bowl

Great tour! The guide was very...

Great tour! The guide was very informative and the views and picture opportunities were great! The trip from Sedona was roughly a 12 hour round trip but well worth it.
