FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
Will
I need all the things listed on packing list?
The packing list is general and is meant to cover all of our trips in
all kinds of weather. It merely suggests items to consider for your trip
and you bring what will best suit your needs.
What
about snakes and bugs?
Being a desert environment, mosquitoes and flying insects are not a bit
problem. Snakes and scorpions are seldom seen. But most trips will thrill
to the sight of Desert Big Horn sheep and many canyon birds.
Do
I have to wear my life jacket all the time, even when we are not running
the rapids?
Yes, everyone must wear his or her life jacket and keep it buckled up
at all times when on the raft.
What
are the toilet facilities on the river trip?
Portable toilets are available at Peach Springs airport, the boat launching
area and at Grand Canyon West.
Can
we expect rain?
We never know for sure when it will rain. So, even if you are taking a
summer trip, you should bring a rain suit as outlined on the packing list.
Many people wear them while running the rapids.
Are
alcoholic beverages allowed if I bring my own?
NO alcoholic beverages will be allowed.
Who
will be our guide?
Our guides are qualified with hundreds of miles of river experience. Each
guide is a accomplished outdoors person with a background in natural history
and the ability to make every river trip a special and memorable experience.
Will
there be a first aid kit?
A small first aid kit shall be carried on every boat.
Is
this trip strenuous?
Since our trip is an outdoor activity and with the exposure to the elements,
we consider our river trips to be mildly strenuous, requiring some effort.
