Ceiba is the premier choice among river guides, private boaters, United States Geological Survey (USGS) scientists, motor boatmen and the film industry. The owners, Scott Davis and Rachel Schmidt, both have 25+ years of guiding experience in the Canyon and bring that expertise to every trip that Ceiba outfits.

Our facility is based in Flagstaff, Arizona on the east side of town. It is purposely laid out with the river runner in mind. Very organized, safe, secure and private, along with our entire crew always very friendly and willing to work with you and your group. Our food pack headquarters is a modern, and clean building equipped with everything needed to make a food pack happen. Ceiba Adventures remains the premier Grand Canyon Private River Trip Outfitter.

Ceiba's self-bailing boats are all late model NRS' which are in excellent condition. We have paid alot of attention to detail with these rigs and everyone loves them. They're rigged with state-of-the art aluminum frames, sawyer oars, and aluminum table, Galaxy coolers, and a full rig bag. This bag includes 15 rigging straps, throw bag, throw cushion, sand anchor and hammer, 3 oar stands, and our custom allen wrench, the "Woody Allen."

A fully rigged boat also comes with a repair kit, barrel pump and bow and stern lines to round out the entire affordable package.

Ceiba expertise has been utilized in the US and worldwide, including Hollywood and the Adventure Film industry. Check out our website for a list of the projects that Ceiba has outfitted. Currently, we work with the USGS and GCMRC (Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center), and the Grand Canyon National Park Service on many on-going science projects, such as archaeology, fish studies, cultural trips and supply equipment when needed.

Ceiba has the unique ability to move 18’ self-bailing rafts inflated on our trailers, large loads include 6 to 8 Grand Canyon rigged row boats and we move Dories and kayaks, as well. All of our large 37’ S-Rigs and motorized snout boats are transported inflated and fully rigged to and from the river. We make it fast and easy at the rigs and de-rigs with our long flatbed trailers. Ceiba’s trucks can hold 5 seat-belted passengers in our quad-cab trucks and we have 11 and 14 passenger vans for your convenience.

Shuttle logistics is one of our other specialties – we do and have done it all. Private vehicle shuttles to and from Lee’s Ferry, South Rim and Las Vegas connections, and of course, Diamond Creek and South Cove too. Ceiba also has a contract with Grand Canyon Youth, moving all their equipment and guides to and from the San Juan and their Diamond Down expeditions.

Some of the other rivers that we commonly outfit are the Salt River, Verde, San Juan, Diamond downs on the Colorado, Cataract Canyon and small creeks and rivers in the southwest needing inflatable kayaks.

When considering a private river trip outfitter, Ceiba has an undeniable reputation for offering friendly, prompt, reliable service and for being on board with all of your trip details from the beginning to end.
