OARS unique Dory boat tours focus on providing a quality experience rather than whisking you down the canyon at top notch speeds. Dory boats, long, wooden crafts, are built to hold intimate parties and lots of gear. They are slower than rubber rafts but provide a more authentic and intimate boating experience, according to runners. The guide to guest ratio is high, creating a more relaxing trip overall.

Customer service and the Dory boat experience seem to keep this company in good reviews, as does attention to detail. Rafting adventures are by no means cheap and this one is no exception. Not all tours are appropriate for all ages, so know what your buying before you book.
