For 35 years, Holiday Expeditions has provided trips to the West's most spectacular places. We offer incomparable whitewater rafting trips in Utah, Colorado and Idaho on the Colorado, Green, Yampa and San Juan, Salmon and Snake Rivers. Grand Canyon, mountain biking, ranch, Baja sea kayaking and women's trips round out our special offerings.

Our whitewater rafting trips will take you through the most spectacular landscapes on earth, and on some of the hottest whitewater anywhere. If you have never done the river it might be hard to imagine, but in all the world, there is nothing anywhere quite like a whitewater wilderness adventure in the Rocky Mountain West.

We offer twelve different sections of eight rivers in Utah, Arizona, Colorado and Idaho. Each trip is unique. Different landscapes. Different-sized rapids. Some trips are designed for scenic adventurers who are a little more interested in the scenic than in the adventure.

Other trips deliver the best world-class whitewater the West has to offer.

Living history, sights, sounds and socializing also enhance what the area has to offer. There's also the little extras we offer — interpretation of natural history and ecology, impressive meal presentation, kids activities — that make the Holiday experience a unique one.

At Holiday Expeditions, it's our respect for the land, for the rivers, for our guests, for our employees, our equipment and safety, that sets us apart.
