Sunset Raft Tour

Rafting at sunset on our Class I river offers a completely different kind of desert experience. As the heat fades and the light softens, you’ll float into golden hour and early evening, when the sky reflects across the water and the desert comes alive in a new way. Swim, splash, or simply relax and take in the peaceful surroundings as the day transitions into night.

This is our most family friendly activity, with something for everyone. A little paddling is required, but your guide will steer the boat and share fascinating insights about Sonoran Desert geology, hydrology, flora, fauna, and human history.

As an oasis in the desert, the river attracts a wide variety of wildlife, and the evening hours are one of the most beautiful times to experience it. Wild horses, bald eagles, and other birds are often spotted along the banks. With cooler air, calm water, and glowing mountain silhouettes, this tour offers a quieter, more scenic way to experience the desert at its most beautiful.
