The Hatch family has been introducing people to the wonders of the Grand Canyon for 75 years. Hatch River Expeditions Grand Canyon has been continuously owned and operated by members of the Hatch family since 1929. Bus Hatch, the company's founder, led the company's first expedition through the Grand Canyon in 1934. Now operated by Bus' grandson, Steve, we may have updated our looks and our practices, but we haven't forgotten our roots: a sense of adventure and the hearty quest for fun!

Today we offer a wide variety of trip options from seven day full canyon motorized trips to six, seven, and 12 day oar-powered trips. We take care of all the details so your vacation is just that: a vacation!

Our expeditions travel through one of the most pristine landscapes in the world. Starting at Lee’s Ferry, Arizona and venturing 188 miles through the Grand Canyon, you will experience thrilling whitewater, ancient Native American ruins, cool grottoes, and sparkling waterfalls.

We offer plenty of adventure options to suit your needs. Our trips let you enjoy the river at its pace, with time to explore the hidden canyons and ancient ruins tucked within the Canyon’s walls. There is plenty to do on a Grand Canyon rafting trip: shower under a cool waterfall and swim in the crystal clear pools below, enjoy the thundering whitewater of the Colorado River, hike to some well known attractions such as Deer Creek Falls and Redwall Cavern, and sleep under a star filled sky. Through it all, our guides will pamper, educate, and entertain you. No matter which adventure you choose, rafting the Grand Canyon is an experience not to be missed!
