Our 8, 9, 14 & 16-day expeditions begin and end in Las Vegas, Nevada. Be sure to arrive the afternoon or evening the day before for your river trip. Las Vegas is served by many major airlines, making travel arrangements easy.
Our river trips end on the 8th, 9th, 14th, or 16th day at Pearce Ferry, where a bus will be waiting to pick you up. You will be back in Las Vegas in the evening, giving you an option of staying in Las Vegas or scheduling a late evening flight.

For your convenience we have partnered with the Residence Inn Las Vegas Hughes Center as our preferred hotel. Of course you do not have to stay here but this is the location you will be picked up and have a pre trip meeting the night before your departure. Grand Canyon Expeditions will make your room reservation for the night before and the night after your trip. If you wish to book extra nights before or after your trip, reservations should be made directly with the Residence Inn by calling 702-650-0040 or email Yvonne.Mauro@marriott.com.

PLEASE NOTE – Some restrictions do apply. We are unable to include hotel accommodations on any discounted or Travel Agent commissioned GCE trip.

Our representative will meet you at the hotel the evening prior to your trip at a pre-arranged time to answer last-minute questions, and to give you waterproof river bags in which to pack your clothing. If you are driving to Las Vegas, you may leave your vehicle at the hotel for the 8, 9, 14, or 16 days while you are on the river.

Travel light, travel happy! One of the most appealing aspects of a Grand Canyon river trip is that you need to bring very little with you to be comfortable. The climate in the canyon is mild, and just a few changes of clothes are needed. We supply all camping equipment, waterproof river bags, and waterproof camera boxes, and these are included in the cost of your trip. (a detailed list of recommended clothing and personal items to bring on the trip will be sent when reservations are confirmed.)
