    Me and our guides Randy and Jordan
    George E.

    If you've read my reviews you know I only review thoroughly if something is really bad or really good. It feels like forever but this is an overwhelming awesome adventure. I of course will give an objective positive and negative because most things have room for improvement. So with all this covid junk interfering with summer vacation I wanted to get awsy with my son and this sounded good. I called and asked about availability and the hirl who answered was so helpful and enthusiastic. When I had more questions a few days later a guy answered and he was just as pleasant and helpful. When I realized I was calling at 8pm I appologized and he said that they ste always on call. So i went to book for us and my daughter and it went smoothly. I was so busy with work that the day before we left I realized I didnt know what to prepare but then that day someone called to pre-emptively give me the rundown. So helpful! We left our hotel in Williams and got to where the gps took us and I was a bit confused that there were no signs. Called and someone answered and reassured me I was in the right place. Went to check in and was told they didnt have our waivers which I know I filled out online so that was a bit annoying to do again. The bus ride to the river was bumpy but no big deal and as soon as we got there we were greeted by our guide Randy and his trainee Jordan. They made introductions righ off the bat and remembered our names. That may seem minor but it certainly sets the tone for good rapport. The rapids were so much fun- we were lauging the while time, getting soaked and felt perfectly safe. Randy was a great host- explaining landmarks and history as we went and both of them were constantly offering us snacks and drinks even though we brought our own. Our own pack was safe and dry the entire trip and we never felt that anything was scary or that they didnt know what they were doing. We stopped at a very cool waterfall which was a nice break. We stopped for lunch which they provided- nothing fancy- hoagy sandwiches with fruit- and they looked and tasted fresh. Worried about who packed them? That's your problem. The Arizona Indian tribes have been hit very hard by covid and they take it very seriously so I am confident that the food was prepared in a sanitary fashion. And none of us are sick. So we stopped a few more times so th as t we could jump in the water because it does get very hot. We got to see the skywalk from down below and officially saw the end of the Grand Canyon. I was very happy to give our guides tips because they made it a great adventure. So ready for the negatives? 1- something that only God or Mother Nature could change- all the rapids were at the beginning. So they rapids were done within the firat 2 hours. The rest of the trip was flat- beautiful but flat. 2. The bus ride back is a drag. Raft from 9 to about 5 and then a 2 hour bus ride back to where you started. Then add your own drive back to where youre staying and youre racing to find dinner at a place that's open. It may seem expensive but when you factor in labor, the equipment and food, it's well worth it for a super memorable adventure. Do it!

    Waterfalls!

    Just do it! What an amazing adventure! You will never forget it. I waited to long to see this amazing place. The Hualapai family is a wonderful great people so warm and beautiful they made me feel absolutely safe. I met some really wonderful people on the tour. We all had a great vibe going, I just applauded our tour guide Louis what a wonderful personality. To our new friends Laurie and family I hope you all made it home safely and that our prayers have been answered. Hugs Lydia and Gabby.

    I would have given 5 stars but the only problem was the cost for the GoPro vid. Otherwise, great experience to remember a lifetime

    This was my first Grand Canyon experience and it was by far the absolute best way to experience the Grand Canyon.

    We came here a few times while in Flagstaff on our way to Upper Lake Mary. The staff is beyond…read morefriendly and extremely helpful- I really cannot express how genuine they are! The two times we came here, everyone had a smile on their face and were not annoyed by our novice fishing questions. They've got an amazing selection of fishing gear (albeit at a slightly higher price than big box stores, but that's expected), and a large selection of snacks and beverages as well. We were initially drawn here because they sell water dogs (a juvenile salamander type of live fishing bait that seems to work well in Lake Mary), and were surprised to see that they had some. There was a little girl, I'm assuming the daughter of the woman who worked there, who was so cute AND knowledgeable when she took us out back to show us the water dogs. We ended up getting a half dozen water dogs for around $8 or so, a bait bucket, a pair of gloves (there was no way I was touching those suckers with my bare hands!), and 24 night crawler worms all for around $20. The cute little girl I mentioned before rang us up under the supervision of the woman, and then sent us on our way! The second time we came here was a few days later, when we decided to give fishing another try. We were there earlier in the morning, and a kind older gentleman was there to greet us. We decided to skip out on the water dogs this time, because the other day when we tried them they flew off our hooks within the first few casts. Needless to say, with this gentleman's information, we found out that we were hooking them on the wrong way, which explains it! But, we bought some worms, chicken liver and he even threw in some mackerel as well! He also gave us tips on how and where to catch the fish in Lake Mary. Although we didn't catch anything during our two day fishing trip adventure, we did meet some nice people along the road at the Lake Mary Country Store, and if we are in the area again, we are sure to be coming back!

    We had a hard time finding the bait we needed elsewhere around town but were pleased to find this…read moreone was stocked up. The prices were decent and worth paying for just for the sake of not driving around town any more. The staff are friendly.

    Ask for Captain Kelly!…read more I recently did 187 mile raft with a group of geologists to go see many famous sites along the river. Due to Covid, our diverse crew (most older, up to 76 years old), and rapids, I was nervous. The second I met our boatman Kelly all my fear washed away. She is absolutely the most capable navigator I have ever experienced, an excellent leader, and exudes confidence and a positive attitude at every moment. Even though we had a geologist who was guiding our science chat, Kelly added the historical stories, naturalist lectures, and humor. I also noticed she was already aware of the geologic significance of the sites. Our swamper Thad was an energetic and hilarious asset who compliment Kelly really well and also took great care of us. They made us feel so safe and comfortable and are very professional (I noticed a lot of other river guides out there drinking and smoking at night and felt so lucky our guides were responsibly tending to camp or sleeping instead). Every night Kelly got dressed up and cooked us amazing meals, including warm cakes from scratch with a Dutch oven. We didn't go home any thinner. If you get this crew with Hatch, you are lucky! I will ask for them next time.

    Hatch is taking advantage of COVID 19 and not providing refunds!!!!!…read more A group of 26 of us booked a trip 1.5 year ago to launch May 2020. Hatch cancelled our reservation due to Covid 19. They will only provide a 50 % refund, resulting in them keeping over $50,000 for this one booking. I feel this is totally unethical, they are benefiting hugely from COVID 19, they cancelled the trip, not us, and many other rafting companies of offering full refunds.
