点评:I recently returned from a 15-day rafting trip in the Grand Canyon with Outdoors Unlimited. I knew they had an excellent reputation for providing a quality experience in a challenging outdoor environment but they exceeded my expectations! This was my 5th multi-day whitewater river trip but my first in Grand Canyon. The guides were very professional and amazing cooks! They were very knowledgeable about the history of the canyon, especially the early river runners. All the meals were great and they always had surprise snacks on the rafts. As a 78 year old female, on a solo adventure, the guides always made sure to watch out for me and made me feel very safe! They made sure everyone had the best experience possible! A few caveats, I’m glad I chose to go in September when the days were mostly warm, instead of blazing hot, and, the nights were mild. Outdoors Unlimited provided an excellent list of what to bring but, for women, I would also suggest bringing a few items easily available on line, a sarong or Turkish Beach Towel for sun protection and a super lightweight “sun hoodie” worn with a ball cap works great! My female urination device by Humangear allowed me modesty during lunch breaks on small beaches. For the same issue at night, ask the guides for an old peanut butter jar! Definitely bring 2 headlamps with a “red light“ option and extra batteries! Bring a few large locking carabiners to attach your water bottle and day bag to the raft. Sleeping out under the night sky is magical. I saw shooting stars every night! Definitely put this trip on your bucket list!
翻译:我最近刚从 Outdoors Unlimited 组织的大峡谷漂流之旅回来,这次漂流之旅为期 15 天。我知道他们以在具有挑战性的户外环境中提供优质体验而享有盛誉,但他们超出了我的预期!这是我第五次多日白水漂流之旅,但第一次在大峡谷。导游非常专业,厨艺也很棒!他们对大峡谷的历史了如指掌,尤其是早期的漂流者。所有的饭菜都很棒,他们总是在木筏上准备惊喜小吃。作为一名 78 岁的女性,在一次独自冒险中,导游总是确保照顾我,让我感到非常安全!他们确保每个人都有最好的体验!有几点需要注意,我很高兴我选择在 9 月去,那时白天大部分时间都很温暖,而不是酷热难耐,夜晚也很温和。 Outdoors Unlimited 提供了一份很棒的携带物品清单,但对于女性,我还建议携带一些可在网上轻松买到的物品,一条纱笼或土耳其沙滩巾用于防晒,一件超轻的“防晒帽衫”搭配一顶棒球帽效果很好!我的 Humangear 女性排尿装置让我在小海滩的午休时间保持端庄。如果晚上也遇到同样的问题,可以向导游要一个旧的花生酱罐!一定要带 2 个带“红灯”选项的头灯和备用电池!带上几个大锁扣,将您的水瓶和日用包固定在筏子上。在夜空下睡觉真是太神奇了。我每晚都看到流星!一定要把这次旅行列入你的愿望清单!
