Rafting Trips from Vegas

The mighty Colorado River runs from Colorado through Utah, Arizona, Nevada and California and into Mexico. The approximate 1,450-mile (2,330-kilometer) river is most well-known for being the waterway that runs through the Grand Canyon, Hoover Dam and the Black Canyon. River-rafting in either the Grand Canyon or Black Canyon is an exciting activity that will get you out of the neon jungle and into an area deeply blessed by Mother Nature; it’s especially welcome on a hot Vegas day.

Rafting the waters through the Black Canyon is actually a calm experience; there are no rapids – you’ll simply float along, maybe stop for a swim, admire the canyon’s beauty and look for wildlife. If you’re after true white-water rafting, the Grand Canyon is where you want to be. Most tours from Vegas hit class 3 to 6 rapids (on the Grand Canyon’s scale of 1 to 10) for a wet and wild ride that is a must-do for outdoor-enthusiasts.

5 Star gave us a first-class ride from our hotel to the airport, where Mischa (our pilot) was amazing! Her personality just shined as we headed to the helicopter for an absolutely amazing ride past Hoover Dam and into the Grand Canyon. There was no wind, so she gave us a bird's eye view of everything. The helicopter ride could not have been better! Mischa was very informative about the area as well. We then rode in luxury again to our rafting trip. Leslie was our tour guide for the rafting trip and she was very informative as well and an amazing boat operator. There was a little mix-up on our transportation back to the hotel, but a wonderful gentleman from 5 Star gave us a ride back. Come to find out...he was the owner! Thank you all for a great day!!!

Helicopter tour was amazing thanks to 5 star grand canyon helicopter tours. The pilot was just super friendly and a really cool person. The raft ride was also awesome, but it would have been nice to be in a smaller raft and maybe a shorter ride.
