Motor & Non-Motor Rafting Trips

Motorized rafting trips are available through 11 of the Grand Canyon’s 15 river outfitters. As one of the most popular options for rafting the Grand Canyon, there are more motor trip launches in the Colorado River than any other raft type combined, and for good reason.

Whether you’re looking to explore the Upper Canyon, the Lower Canyon, or the full breadth of the Colorado River, taking a motorized rafting trip will save you both a considerable amount of time and a lot of physical exertion. Even though motorized rafts travel faster than oar-powered rafts, you’ll still have plenty of time to check out the canyon’s exhilarating rapids, sparkling side canyons, stunning cultural sites, and ancient geological structures. In fact, by taking a motorized trip, you’ll save a lot of time spent traversing river miles, leaving you more time to explore, raft, and hike through the canyon’s diverse set of attractions.
