Salt River Rafting Trips

Springtime adventures on the Salt River in Arizona

Join us for 1-Day, 2-Day or 5-Day river rafting trips through the canyons of the Salt River, the hidden treasure of Arizona! The Salt River is a truly unique whitewater experience in the stunning scenery of the Upper Sonoran Desert. This Arizona rafting trip generally runs late February through May. Minimum age 8-12, depending on dates and water levels.

Just wanted to let you know the trip was a smashing success. You guys are awesome! Everyone aboard had an absolutely excellent time. The 3-Day Mild-to-Wild was the perfect blend of activity and leisure. The river was awesome, and our time on shore offered plenty to keep us entertained between the hikes, rappelling, rock-climbing, and socializing around the camp fire. Our guides took care of absolutely everything, and truly went out of their way to make sure we had a great experience. Even the food was amazing. I never knew one could live in such luxury outdoors. Please pass our sincere thanks to Miles, Adam, Jeb, Cheyenne, and Sally, as well as the rest of the crew at AVA who helped make our trip a success… — The Nebraska Bachelor Party
