Hydros Adventures    

An Expedition into the ancient land of the Anasazi.  Swim below Havasu Falls, Raft the mighty Colorado River, Hike Sedona's Red Rocks, explore the South Rim of the Grand Canyon, and visit Ancestral Puebloan Ruins.

Day One:
Hydros makes your adventure easy with round trip transportation for all our adventure packages from the city of your choice, including Las Vegas NV, Phoenix AZ, or Flagstaff AZ.  Once you're on the road and ready to explore, your private guide will take you on an exciting Grand Canyon tour.  Our comfortable SUV's and Tour Vans provide escape from commercial buses and crowds, so you can truly enjoy the grandeur of the South Rim.  Awesome vistas, ancient ruins, and a hike below the rim are all part of the day.  After experiencing the Canyon, your hotel awaits for a good night's rest.

Day Two:
This is the only one-day whitewater rafting trip in the Grand Canyon. Your journey begins with a scenic drive through the Hualapai Indian Reservation to Diamond Creek. Once your geared up and on the mighty Colorado River, it's a short boat ride and a quick hike to picturesque Travertine Falls. After the Falls, the real adventure begins as you descend several major rapids, including Honeymoon Rapid and its Fangs! After the technical whitewater, the Colorado River will calm for infinite photo opportunities, wildlife sightings, and a unique cultural history lesson from your Native river guides. Then it's a helicopter flight up to the Grand Canyon's Rim and shuttle back to your hotel.

Havasu Falls:
There can be no question that Havasu Canyon is one of the most amazing destinations on earth. "Havasupai" means "people of the blue-green water," and it is their sacred home we will be visiting on our journey. This adventure begins at Hualapai Hilltop, following a 10 mile trail through beautiful red rock canyons to our awe-inspiring camp below the Falls. En route to our destination we will pass through towering cliffs, by ancient pictographs, and across pristine streams to Supai Village- the only place in the Grand Canyon still inhabited by native people. From here, we access world- renowned Navajo, Havasu, Mooney, and Beaver Falls. These stunning turquoise waterfalls are heralded by pristine travertine pools, making some of the world?s best swimming holes and most spectacular hikes. Come with us on this journey and experience why this desert utopia attracts people from around the globe.

Day Three:
Early wake-up call for Havasu Falls trailhead, and the start of your hike. Hike through beautiful Havasu Canyon and the Havasupai Village, on the way to our base camp below the Falls.

Day Four:
Explore Mooney Falls, and Beaver Falls (time permitting) or just relax at beautiful Havasu Falls right above our campsite.

Day Five:
Early start for our trek back through Havasu Canyon to the trailhead.  Back to your hotel for a well earned rest. 

Day Six:
Your private tour van will drive through scenic Oak Creek Canyon to Sedona, AZ for breathtaking redrock views, and a guided tour through two of Sedona's most popular destinations.  After exploring Slide Rock and Red Rock State Parks you'll return to historic Flagstaff.
 
Day Seven of the Tour:
Ancient ruins and extinct volcanoes will fill the last day of your adventure.  Explore Wupatki and Sunset Crater, two of Flagstaff's hidden gems. These national monuments reveal the natural and human history of the Flagstaff area.  This is a great way to relax at the end of your journey before heading home.  

Trip #AP6

I went to the woods because I wished to live deliberately, to front only the essential facts of life, and see if I could not learn what it had to teach, and not, when I came to die, discover that I had not lived.
- Henry David Thoreau
