5Wonderful experience
WRA is a very professional, organized, and super friendly team. Our 1/2 day Horseshoe Bend trip was amazing. All details were covered ahead of time and were prepared to answer any questions - none were needed. The trip was educational and fun! Our guide, Jazmine was super energetic, knowledgeable, and likewise prepared. I highly recommend WRA for the float trips.
5Ten stars!
The guide, Tia, was exceptional! Dealt with the rain squall really well and took great care of us. Interesting history shared by Tia along the way. The office staff and bus drivers were great to deal with as well!
5Highly recommend!
One of the most incredible experiences of my life. I’m afraid of heights so I enjoyed this way more than Grand Canyon. Our tour guide, Barney, was fun and knowledgeable. It was very peaceful on the river because we went in October. Highly recommend!
5Unforgettable Trip on Colorado River around Gooseneck
My HUSBAND and I, had an amazing day with Pat on the Colorado River. We learned a lot about river rights, geology, history. Pat has probably has more experience on the river and surrounding areas. I would love to hire him as a guide for a week!

Our guide was so knowledgeable about river and very very likable and made this our best experience on our 14 day trip west . Plus sightseeing and river were great
4Our guide was excellent...
Our guide was excellent but talked too much about things not related to where we were. He didn’t need to fill every moment with talk.

About Page
Page, in northern Arizona, is a small town on Lake Powell, the base for Antelope Canyon, Horseshoe Bend and the red cliffs of the Colorado Plateau.
Page sits on a sandstone mesa above the Colorado River in northern Arizona, close to the Utah border. It was founded in 1957 as a camp for the builders of Glen Canyon Dam, whose concrete arch holds back Lake Powell, a long reservoir of blue water winding through red canyons. The lake and its branching side canyons are used for boating and houseboats, and the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area protects the shoreline.
Top-ranked sights in Page: Antelope Canyon, Vermilion Cliffs National Monument.
