Are the outfitters regulated by the National Park Service or other government agencies?
Yes, all of the Grand Canyon s professional river outfitters are licensed, regulated, and evaluated annually by the National Park Service. We work hand in hand with the National Park Service to make sure your river trip will be the best it possibly can be. Other governmental agencies who provide regulatory functions involving Grand Canyon river outfitting include the U.S. Public Health Service, the U.S. Coast Guard, the Arizona Department of Transportation, the Occupational Health and Safety Administration, Coconino County Health Department, Arizona Game and Fish, and the Arizona Department of Liquor Licenses and Control.
