Highlights
- Salt River - Meet us at our Salt River satellite location on the Fort Apache Reservation between Globe and Show Low, AZ.
Once there, you’ll sign waivers and suit up for the river! If you’re rafting with us in March or April, you’ll probably have a wetsuit included with your reservation.
It’s a short walk down to the river with your guides where you’ll have a safety orientation, and then hop in the boats and go.
Be ready to tackle 10 miles of whitewater with constant class II and class III throughout the entire trip.
After a couple of hours, we’ll stop at our established camp for a hot grilled steak lunch. Then it’s back in the boats for more rapids.
The biggest rapid is right by the take out, offering up a grand finale before you paddle over to the beach for the trip’s end.
We’ll then shuttle you back to your vehicle along Apache Road 1, which is often just as exciting as the rafting trip itself!

A must! - This is a great day trip full of fun and adventure. We were so lucky to get Annie as our river guide. She was very knowledgeable and encouraging the whole way. She kept us informed about what was coming and general information about the area. We always knew what to expect and she did an excellent job of navigating our raft. I really appreciated that! She was awesome. The river and scenery was beautiful. Lots of rapids and a fast moving river this time of year. We are definitely already planning our next trip. Thank you so much!

Floating the Salt River - We celebrated our 47 year Wedding anniversary on March 31 with a trip on the Upper Salt River. Mike did a great job of getting us down the river in one piece. He was very knowledgeable on the river and plant and animals living in the Salt River Canyon. Will plan our next trip down the Salt in the future.

Wild Fun on the Salt - Great fun, excellent guides that had interesting facts to tell and were very skilled so we always felt safe. No "swimmers" on our tour! And they served us a perfect lunch.
The canyon was beautiful . Highly recommend!

Great Time on the River!! - This was one of my bucket list items to go White Water rafting. We were not disappointed! Tissa was a great guide with lots of knowledge on local flora/fauna and kept us all in the raft! We had a blast! Already talking about going again next year.
Some tips for going in the cold...wear wool socks under the booties and layers of clothes. I wore thermal base layers under my wetsuit and kept plenty warm.

First timer - Its a shame that I don't remember my guide's name, but he was fantastic. I did the full-day trip, which involved paddling for about 5 miles, stopping to eat an amazing lunch prepared by our guide, and then continuing to the final stretch. I got to experience the entire water rafting experience by falling into the water; it was cold, but the wetsuit made it bearable. I would definitely do it again because I did feel comfortable and secure with such a knowledgeable team.
Don't expect it to be a sit-and-chill experience; you have to paddle throughout the trip, which is exactly what I expected, but I noticed some other customers dissatisfied with having to paddle (they should have stayed at home:)).

First, not the last! - Holy Cow! This was the perfect trip. Our guides were smart, fun and took all our anxiety away! We had a blast and lunch hit the spot. Everyone had a moment to share their stories and build up excitement for the second part of the day.
