Personal Watercraft are no longer 
permitted in the canyon to 
Rainbow Bridge.  Powerboats
are allowed.

By far the most popular destination on Lake Powell, Rainbow Bridge stands majestically above the clear blue water creating an awe-inspiring sight. Photographs simply cannot capture the size of this monolith. The world's largest natural bridge, Rainbow Bridge is 290 feet tall, spans 275 feet, is 33 feet wide and 42 feet thick. It is called "Nonnoshoshi" by the Navajo people, or "rainbow turned to stone." The stone bridge is formed of Navajo Sandstone at the top and Kayenta Sandstone at the base. Its deep spiritual significance should be respected and visitors are asked not to walk beyond the viewing area. Fishing, swimming, rock throwing and walking pets are prohibited.

Due to low water,
you can no 
longer view the
monument from
the tour boat, and
you will need to
make the two-mile
hike to see the
bridge.  You will
not be required to
actually make the
hike to the
monument, you
may remain at
the docks.  
Comfortable
walking shoes,
such as sneakers
are recommended.All Tour Boats provide complimentary water, lemonade and coffee. Most boats are handicap accessible, but please give us advanced notice as some are not and the tour boat manager will want to be sure to schedule a boat that has handicap access for your tour. All boats have an interior seating area that is heated in the colder months with comfortable seating, restrooms and complimentary beverages. There is also outdoor setting available for full viewing and photographic opportunities on the top level. These boats do offer railings on the upper decks, but children must to be watched at all times. You are free to walk around the boat as you like. All children under 12 are not required to wear a life jacket, but if you want one, they are available. Infant life jackets are not a standard item on the tour boats, you should bring your own.

YOU MUST CANCEL UP TO 24 HOURS OR MORE PRIOR TO DEPARTURE TO AVOID BEING CHARGED AS A NO SHOW.
