8 Day Motorized Expeditions Guest Comments

WOW! My husband and I did the 8 day motorized trip in July of 2010. I was so excited leading up to the trip, during the trip and still to this dayI get excited talking or thinking about it. Our guides Irv...aka Sean Connery, Adam and swampers Travis and Jeri were AMAZING. The sights, the sounds(or lack there of), adventure, people, food, etc....all of it was top notch. We will be back again!

We got back from our trip on 9/17/10, and all I can say is this had to be one of the most incredible trips I have ever been on. GCEX certainly knows how to do it right! Our guides Benjie and Dave, our swampers Eric and Idaho, and our fellow guests were all fantastic. It's hard to describe the feeling of the Canyon from that perspective - absolutely breathtaking. Thank you all for the unforgettable memories.

Marie and I did the GC rafting with Bob and Donna two years ago! No words to express the joy we experienced. Marie was afraid to go and now considers this our greatest trip to date and we have been to many places.
Itold Bob i would bring he and donna to laconia to speak about the GC. i am a member of a group who bring lecturers to laconia. if he reads this, the offer still stands.
Ihope i live long enuf to do this with my new grandson and he can meet Bob and Donna. Sorry this took so long but that proves it is absolutely memorable!

Our love affair with GCE and the Grand Canyon began several years ago. It has resulted in some half-dozen return trips with GCE and with our youngest son, a Geology major turned medical student, also doing his share of additional volunteer trips for some of GCE's honored guests: native Americans whose ancestors were indigineous peoples to the Canyon.

This spring, we even had the privilege of visiting the GCE warehouse in Kanab, Utah - where we witnessed first-hand why these trips are so fabulous AND so safe.

The folks at GCE, top to bottom, simply are the best.

That's why we're going back - AGAIN - in 2011.

My rafting trip was so amazing! i loved it so much that i never wanted to leave. My guides were so much fun and loved to have a great time. My favorite part would have to be seeing the shooting starts at night. I probably saw about 2 to 3 every night. If your contemplating about whether to go or not, I would recommend just doing it. You will not be dissappointed!!

Big thanks to Irv, Anne-Marie, Alisa and Nancy for making my motorized trip 1st to 8th May 2009 (via Spice UK) so enjoyable. What a talented, pleasant and inspiring team!
If any of these guys are on the crew you get allocated, you're in for a special treat... Enjoy!

Best wishes,
Jules

I attribute my extreme satisfaction with the trip in large part to Bob and Donna. They are not only outstanding river guides but also exceptional human beings. They are great assets to your organization, the park and the river experience. I only hope many others can experience the river with such capable and amazing people as Bob and Donna.

My long awaited adventure through the Grand Canyon took place in 1997....already 12 years ago. To this day, it ranks at the top of many lifetime adventures I've been priviledged to experience. What a treat it was to have 28 passengers (two rafts) come together as strangers and leave as friends just 8 days later. The laughs and interesting stories were only rivaled by the awesome scenery. The food you ask?....sensational! The Dutch Oven produced dinners found at fine restaraunts. Our guides got the highest accolades, professional, caring, knowledgeable, friendly and efficient. I highly recommend "Grand Canyon Expeditions" !

My husband and I went on the eight day motorized expedition in Aug. of 2007. I will tell you we loved every minute of it. I had never slept out side in my life, but I loved that too. We had the best guides I believe anyone could have. They were Bob and Donna. Great people as well as great guides. I would go again in a minute. There was two boats went out that day. The guides on the other boat were Jarrid and Kellie. They were fantastic.
We had the best food.It was as if we were eating at a fine restarant every night. And we had a view to die for!!
If you are looking for an exciting trip, just go on this one. But, nothing you ever do again will ever compare.

I went on an 8 day motorized trip in 2004. It was truly an amazing experience and I plan on returning within the enxt 5 or so years. i had never imagined myself whitewater rafting through the Grand Canyon, or participating in many of the activites provided in this trip, such as jumping off cliffs, and swimming in hot water pool.s I'd recommend this trip to anyone.

What an amazing trip! I loved every second of it. Can't wait to do it next year.
