Tour Requirements

You will get wet! During early and late season, especially on days when it is not hot in the canyon or on very windy days, being wet will cause you to be chilled. We highly recommend you bring a hooded rain parka.

On rare, extremely windy days, for safety concerns, the helicopter may not be flying and will not be available to fly you out of the canyon up to the West Rim. On such windy days the rafters will continue on with the rafting guides out into Lake Mead to their daily exit location. There rafters will be picked up by van or coach for the return to Las Vegas.
