Our website exists because of all of you and your great photo and video contributions!

2025 Photo & Video Contest

Each year, Ceiba Adventures has the privilege of hosting a photo and video contest that showcases the incredible experiences you all had on your river trips.  We leave it up to all of you to judge your peers and vote on your favorite photos/videos. We are always amazed by the stunning imagery, meaningful moments, and humorous captures that make this contest so special. These submissions not only highlight the beauty of Grand Canyon and other rivers but also reflect the deep personal connections you all form with rivers. The effort and creativity that go into capturing these moments do not go unnoticed, and we are truly grateful for every contribution.

 

The photos and videos shared with us become an essential part of Ceiba’s story. They help us illustrate the magic of a river trip, inspire future adventurers, and enrich the visual identity of our brand. We proudly feature this media on our website and in promotional materials, always appreciative of the authenticity and quality you bring to the table. Most of all, we want to extend a heartfelt thank you to everyone who participated. You all are worthy of 1st place.

 

Your passion for adventure fuels what we do, and we look forward to helping outfit your next unforgettable journey through the Grand Canyon and elsewhere.
