Torres del Paine is among the biggest of Chiles national parks, occupying almost 600,000 acres (242,000 ha) of land in the south on the border with Argentina. It is also among the most important, receiving a significant proportion of domes Like any American, traveling occasionally is just what I love doing and I bet you share the same stuff with me. But traveling does not mean that you would be safe. Escaping from our job and other stressful activities is just something that w
It's summer time at Grand Canyon South Rim. If you're looking for a great way to spend the day and beat the heat, try a float tour down the Colorado River. Tours leave daily and include gear, lunch and everything else you'd need. Just don't wait to the last minute to book as these adventures sell out.Float tours are all-day trips and depart from the Grand Canyon National Park Airport in Tusayan, AZ, around 6:30 a. M. That means check in is at 6 a. M. In order to hit the road and get started before the day heats up.Glen CanyonThere are two float options. The basic option involves taking a 2-hour bus ride to Page, AZ, from whence you'll drive through a nearly mile-long tunnel through Glen Canyon Dam until you reach the boat docks. The deluxe options starts with a plane ride to Page, which takes around 60 minutes.Once landed at Page, you'll transfer to a Jeep and check out Antelope Canyon, one of the most photogenic areas in the Southwest. Then you'll jeep it over the Horseshoe Bend overlook (you'll also float around the butte once your on the River). Then it's down to the docks and to the raft.Pontoon RaftThe raft is a motorized 19-person pontoon boat that is adventure grade and can handle nearly every aquatic situation. However, float trips are smooth water so there are no white water rapids. And because there are no rapids, kids as young as four years of age can do a float trip.The float is 15 miles down the Colorado via Marble Canyon. Each raft is manned by a professional river guide and there will be multiple stops where travelers can swim, eat and hike if they like into secret canyons to see waterfalls and authentic Indian rock art.Lee's FerryThe tour ends at Lee's Ferry, home to an abandoned Mormon Fort, which was the only place to cross the Colorado between for travelers going between Utah and Arizona. There will be a bus waiting that will take you back to the South Rim airport. It includes at stop at the Cameron Trading Post, home to real Native American handicrafts and more.I strongly recommend you book these float tours online and in advance. They tend to sell out fast. Even more of a reason is price: the best price is online. Please remember that in order to get the online discount you must complete the transaction online. Failure to do so can result in not getting the online special rate.ConclusionI hope this article about South Rim float tours proved to be helpful. My most important recommendation is to book these tours 1-2 weeks ahead of time. More if you can manage it. There are two tours. Basic and deluxe. The basic is cheapest option. The deluxe, which I consider the best value, is the more expensive option because you get to see and do more. But, again, it comes down to your budget. Article Tags: Grand Canyon
