We want to go to Arizona and do water sports near the Grand Canyon… Need suggestions…?

We want to go to Arizona for our Honeymoon. Which Hotel is near the Grand Canyon? Can we take some type of shuttle to the Grand Canyon to do water sports like Kayaking, River Rafting, etc… Do we go through some company to participate in those sports?

This is one web site we looked into for rafting the Grand Cayon, but there are plenty others like it:

We also kayaked the Colorado River twice out of Lake Havasu:

Lake Mead (on the Nevada side) is another popular spot for water sports:

Others have already mentioned Laughlin, Nevada. Also a great place along the Colorado River:

Most likely, you will need to go through a company that guides you through the river at the Grand Canyon. I know they offer rentals for equipment, wet suits, etc. When we kayaked from Lake Havasu, we went through a company that provided us the kayak and shuttled us to the drop off spot. We were picked up 6 hours later, and we provided our own cooler and supplies.

Have fun!
