Embark on the Ultimate Grand Canyon Rafting Adventure–Colorado River and Trail Expedition’s Motorized Rafting Tours through the Entire Grand Canyon
8 or 9 Day Grand Canyon Rafting Trips–Lee’s Ferry to Lake Mead
Our most popular tour at Colorado River & Trail Expeditions is our 8-day Grand Canyon rafting trip.
Complete Canyon Experience
This trip allows you to see the entirety of the Grand Canyon, from Lees Ferry to Lake Mead. You’ll witness the full progression of its geology, ecosystems, and iconic rapids, ensuring a truly comprehensive adventure.
Deeper Connection with the Canyon
Spending 8 days immersed in the Grand Canyon fosters a unique connection with its stunning landscapes, wildlife, and history. You’ll have time to soak it all in without feeling rushed.
Bonding and Relaxation
Eight days on the river offers ample time to bond with fellow adventurers and guides while also finding moments of solitude to relax under the vast desert sky, especially during magical nights beneath the stars.
A common questions we are asked is “What is the difference between the 8 and 9 day Grand Canyon expeditions?” Our 9 day Grand Canyon trip has an exchange of some passengers at Phantom Ranch or Pipe Creek. The 8-day Grand Canyon trip does not have an exchange of passengers.

About the Raft
About the raft used for 8-9 Day Motorized Grand Canyon Rafting Trips
On these Grand Canyon river rafting trips guests travel in style aboard our 37′ rafts that are guided using quiet four stroke outboard engines.
Our Motorized rafts offer a slightly tamer ride through Grand Canyon’s rapids while still giving guests plenty of excitement. These trips are a great option for families and groups because 10-12 guests can ride on the same raft.
Our 37′ rafts are specially designed so everyone can take in a 360 degree view unlike some of our competitors whose boats are designed for guests to sit on one side of a gear pile on the raft.
Camping and Dining on 8-9 Day Motorized Grand Canyon Rafting Trips
Delicious Dutch-oven dinners, sandwich bar lunches, and hearty camp breakfasts are prepared by the crew throughout your river trip. Our meals are nutritious and delicious. We incorporate a variety of sustainable foods from local sources. With a complement of fresh fruits, vegetables, whole grains, pasta, meat and dairy, clients have a variety of food from which to choose. Although we do not serve a “vegetarian” menu, we do provide enough fresh produce and non-meat items that most vegetarians get along fine for the week they are on the river. Our meals are self-serve, so guests find it easy to pick and choose what they eat.
