Simplicity at it’s finest! Ceiba is now renting Stand Up Paddle Boards (SUP) for water sport lovers of all kinds. Quickly becoming one of the world’s fastest growing sports, the SUP offers everyone the opportunity to get a little  taste of the action(or a big gulp depending on how crazy your are!!!!).

Contact Ceiba for your SUP rental, an excellent addition to any multi-day Grand Canyon trip or day rental for Lake Mary.

It is open today!  The Grand Canyon Weighted Lottery for 2013 is open Feb 1-22. Grab your date; and don’t forget to call Ceiba for a quote.  We are excited to outfit your trip, whether new to us or returning.  We have great NRS rafts; tasty, generous food packs; safe, friendly shuttles; and all of the ancillary equipment you could hope for.

Ceiba’s Special “Op” last week involved “The Coner” hiking in a propane tank to one of our private trips. “The Coner” and a Grand Canyon Trail Crew buddy were able to accomplish their mission in just under 5 hours via the South Kaibab trail! Thanks Chris:)

Various spellings of the word Ceiba are used in web searches.  Some of the common versions are:

saba  seba  ceba  ciba  siba  ceeba    seeba  cieba  sieba  seiba

So, don’t worry that our website, www.ceibaadventures.com won’t come up on a search using an alternative spelling, ’cause it will.

Glen Canyon releases through October are scheduled for 15,500 cfs. The projected releases from mid-November are expected to run 22,600. Visit the Bureau of Rec if you would like to see the details.

Our lunch time reading is quite diverse here at Ceiba.  Thought some of our blog readers would appreciate this.  From Grand Canyon River Guides, to Diesel Power (all of our Ceiba rigs are diesels), to Archaeology.  We try to stay abreast with current events.

Thanks for all of your continued support!  Have a great fall season!

what Ceiba folks read

The 25,000 CFS in the canyon has been pleasurable for all the “Grand” boaters. Lave Falls continues to be big and the horizon line at the entry can be deceiving. Make sure you pick your entry markers and stick to them.

If you are going to the Pearce Ferry take-out, it is fast down there too. You can float at an easy 5 miles an hour! Nice!

Happy Boating!
