MOST UNIQUE WHITEWATER RAFT ADVENTURE IN THE U.S.! Arizona's Salt River is the only commercially run class III & IV whitewater raft trip in the Sonoran Desert of the United States. Saguaros, sun, scenery and splashes are guaranteed with every trip!
Located just 2 1/2 hours from Phoenix and 3 hours from Tucson in the Tonto National Forest and on the White Mountain Apache Tribe's ancestral lands lies Arizona's "other Grand Canyon."
Our most popular adventure is the full day raft trip with a beachside grilled lunch and many class III rapids such as Baptism, Kiss n Tell, Exhibition and Mescal Falls.
The two day trip takes you past the rivers namesake, the Salt Banks, and into the beautiful white granite gorge with more rapids such as Rat Trap and and the Ledges. Three to five day wilderness trips venture into the Federally designated Salt River Canyon Wilderness, and the challenges of class IV rapids such as Eye of the NeedlePinball and Quartzite Falls. See our photo pages of these trips.
Hey Mike and Staff...
I have lived in Arizona my entire life. I have tubed on the lower salt many times. last year i heard about white water rafting on the Salt, but I could not believe there was enough water to do that having only seen the lower end. So I drove up last year to see for myself and yes… you can raft! Well, it was your last weekend of 2009 so I had to wait a year to actually try it myself. This weekend (march 28th), me and a friend and his sons came up for our first ride. WOW! It was so much fun. We decided that your ride is only as good as your guide…and Simon made our trip so much fun. He is very knowledgeable and had us doing fun things like spins that really added to the adventure.
When we got there and saw the other rafting companies with logo-ed hats and life vests and fancy trucks and boats, we wondered if we had chosen the right company to raft with…and we did! You were all very friendly, knowledgeable and kept everyone safe.
Anyway, thanks again, and I can’t wait for trip number 2!
