Frequently Asked Questions

1. Who will our guides be?

More Adventures feels that we have the best guides in the business. Our guides are all whitewater qualified with an average of fifteen years and hundreds of miles of river experience. Each guide is an accomplished outdoors person with wilderness first responder training, a background in natural history and the ability to make each river trip special and memorable.

2. Where and when will I get my river and camping equipment?

Your waterproof duffle bag, small day use dry bag, sleeping bag, sleeping pad, sheet, and cup will be available when you meet your guide at orientation the first night. Your cot and tent will be available at the first night’s camp. We recommend you only set up a tent if there is a threat of rain. Nothing beats sleeping under the stars!

3. What items will I have access to during the day?

Every morning your waterproof bag containing your sleeping gear and clothing will be loaded on the boat and packed away for the day. Your small dry bag is used to store any of the items that you will need to get to during the day, such as sun screen, hat, camera, water bottle, etc.

4. What is the menu like?

We take pride in offering well-rounded meals that are very appetizing with sufficient quantities for everyone. Breakfast items include many traditional favorites from pancakes to omelets, fresh fruits and juices. Lunches are a favorite for many with a variety of deli meats and cheeses, salads, chips and cookies. At the end of the day, you are ready for a hardy meal expertly prepared under a western sky. You’ll have fresh salads, chicken, steak, side dishes, and of course, desserts. All meals include water and Gatorade to drink. NOTE: If you have a special diet or allergies, please inform us of your specific needs so that we can determine how to best accommodate you. 

5. Where will I bathe?

Some campsites have great beaches for bathing while others don’t so, we encourage you to bring baby wipes or face wipes. Leave in conditioner is helpful with longer hair. Lotion is also great after a bath as the air is extremely dry. Although the water in the side streams is generally warmer and it may be tempting to bathe there, soap is strictly prohibited and only allowed in the main river. We don’t recommend solar showers they are difficult to store and use on the river.

6. What are average water temperatures?

The river water is released from the bottom of Glen Canyon Dam on Lake Powell and the water is approximately 50 degrees. Due to the lake being low we have begun experiencing warmer water temperatures up to 65.

7. What about bugs and snakes?

The Grand Canyon is a very friendly place to camp. Being a desert environment, mosquitoes and flying insects are not generally a problem. Snakes and scorpions are seldom seen. Most trips will have the thrill of seeing Desert Big Horn Sheep and many varieties of canyon birds.

8. Can we expect rain?

We never know for sure when it will rain, so even if you are taking a mid-summer trip be sure to bring a two-piece rain suit! Ponchos are not recommended. You can also look up current weather conditions on our website.

9. What are the toilet facilities like on a river trip?

During the day, all urine must go directly into the river. Which means squatting/standing near the river’s edge or wading in. There will be pit stops during the day, but if you have to go tell the guide so they can find a good place to pull over. There is a wonderful new device available for women to use in wilderness settings to urinate. Check it out and if you are comfortable, we highly recommend it along with women who have suggested using them on river trips: It is called the https://www.thepstyle.com/

Available on amazon for $12. If you need to poop during the day, the guides provide you with a Wag Bag type portable waste kit. Each evening, we set up a camp toilet for solid waste, while urine continues to go into the river. At the hand wash station, we have a “key” so you aren’t disturbed while using the toilet. The guides will explain the details of the sanitation and bathroom procedures in greater detail during on-river orientation.

For women who may be on their period while on your river trip, it’s helpful to plan ahead and pack for the unexpected. If you will be using tampons, bring a ‘Go with Your Flow Pack’ or several Ziploc bags and plenty of baby wipes. Make sure you keep these supplies handy during the day, in your provided day dry bag. When you change during the day, you can wrap the trash in a baby wipe, put that in a Ziploc and dispose of it in the boat trash system. As you will get wet a lot on your river trip, using pads is not recommended.

10. What do we tip?

Our guides do EVERYTHING for us including setting up the bathroom. We recommend about $200-$300 from each person but you do what is comfortable for you.
