Ours were chartered kayak trips but at the end of the day you are still the customer and they really treat you well. The common denominator to each trip was the quality of guides. Only one guide was common to the first and second trips and she's awesome. However, all the guides were excellent in their knowledge of the canyon, food making and general cameradery. Azra has a very high quality reputation, even among the competing firms. A trip through the Canyon is a game changer, however you do it. The whitewater is great, the hiking great, the scenery simply breathtaking.

Prefer to not be in a motorized craft.... I have three adolescent boys and me. Private responses would perhaps be most appropriate.... and are welcome. thanks for any suggestions...
