How far in advance are reservations made for Grand Canyon Whitewater rafting trips? The belief that reservations must be made years in advance simply is not true. It does pay to plan ahead for large groups or if your travel time is restricted. Generally, we will be taking reservations throughout the season. Check availability online or by calling Grand Canyon Whitewater. What do I need to do to reserve a spot? To check availability on a Grand Canyon rafting trip or to make a reservation, call us at 800-343-3121 or book online. To reserve a space, we require a deposit of $400 per person. The balance is due 120 days before your trip departure date. What do I need to bring on my river trip? Grand Canyon Whitewater provides all the camping gear: tent, sleeping bag, camp chairs, a sleeping cot or pad, dry bags, all the meals, kitchen necessities, water and soft drinks. You will need to bring your personal items, like clothing, toiletries, a flashlight or headlamp, camera and sunscreen, as well as your own alcoholic beverages. You probably already have most of the things you'll need at home. One important item you may not have is a 2-piece waterproof rain suit, meaning a rain jacket (with hood) and rain pants. Rain gear is recommended for each guest, regardless of time of year; it is your splash guard from the river which is always cold. Before your trip, we will send you a complete information packet that includes a detailed packing list.
