Here’s a photo of Ceiba’s motor transom for our 18′ foot self-bailer. This rig is perfect for the Diamond Down stretch on the Colorado or a Cataract Canyon trip. Keep Ceiba’s services in mind and safe boating! 
Hello Fellow Boaters,
All of the Colorado’s tributaries are running completely muddy, true to the name Colorado. The Little Colorado has gone big and the San Juan, Paria, Dirty Devil and Escalante are spiking huge CFS – so camp high and make sure your boats are tied off securely.
Winter is almost upon us and Ceiba would like to remind everyone going on winter river trips about our wood stove. This tight, compact Ceiba exclusive is a great addition to any winter river trip.
We originally found this stove in Copper Canyon Mexico at a small mercantile shop that we frequented during our mountain bike adventures in that amazing area. They are simply great, easy to store in a drop hatch, easy to set up and easy to clean out.
We supply a small shovel, and a folding Sven saw with the stove as well.
Why are these stoves so great? Other than the reasons above, here are just a few!
* The top of the stove allows you to heat water for coffee or tea.
* Five or six people can sit closely around it and receive the warmth that it provides.
* Creating a clothes rack on any side of the stove offers your group to dry out wet river gear.
* Placing your wet suit booties and river shoes underneath dries these items quickly and safely, without them falling into a fire.
* Learning how to stock the stove properly with the right size pieces of wood, for the ultimate “cranking power” of the stove makes it fun for the group.
* Once this is achieved you’ll understand what we mean by a “Carrot Top”.
* When this goal is met you can open up the door of the stove and let your mind be mesmerized by the “Inner Sanctum”
Do we have you convinced that the Ceiba Wood Stove is the way to go?!
With our Wholeshabang packages we include the wood stove free or charge, but otherwise they go for $2.00 a day. You can not beat that with a stick!
We look forward to hearing from you all this winter
Safe Boating from all of here at Ceiba Adventures!!
Here are some photos of our Wood Stove:
Ceiba Adventures is the premier outfitter catering to private river trips through the Grand Canyon. Our Whole Shabang package is designed to remove all the hassles of organizing a river trip but leaving the fun, excitement and adventure in tact.
Ceiba’s owners, Scott Davis and Rachel Schmidt, have over 50 years of combined experience in the Grand Canyon and they bring this expertise to every group that Ceiba works with. They take great pride in accommodating every trip’s unique and specific needs, desires, and requests. Flexibility, attention to detail and unlimited friendly customer service is what Ceiba strives for with every person and group that we work with.
Ceiba’s warehouse, office and facility are perfectly suited for meeting the needs of the private river runner. Our on-site food pack facility with solid block ice, fully stocked and well-organized shop, recycling center and long-term parking are all conveniences that add to the ease of trip planning, rigging and de-rigging. Starting and ending your trip in Flagstaff and doing all of your pre and post trip “meet and greets”, as well as, doing your clean-up at the Ceiba compound is a painless way to go.
All of Ceiba’s trucks and vans are late-model Fords that are designed with river runners in mind. Our services are utilized by the scientific organizations that work in Grand Canyon including United States Geological Survey, the National Park Service, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Arizona Department of Environmental Quality – just to name a few of the science trips that Ceiba outfits. We have orchestrated archaeological trips with the Hopi, Zuni and Hualapai tribes, as well as, providing shuttle services and equipment rentals for the Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center.
Ceiba Adventures is also the exclusive rental provider for motorboats in Grand Canyon. You can run motorboats anytime between April 1st and September 15th through the entire length of the canyon, and year round from Diamond Creek down to Lake Mead. Our motorboat fleet includes fully rigged 37’ S-rigs, 22’ motorized Snout boats and even a 16’ Achilles sport boat. We have 50, 30 and 15 HP Honda 4-stroke outboard motors that are always available for “runners” or spares. Keep in mind the 16’ sport boat is ideal for many of the lakes in the surrounding area, going upstream at Lee’s Ferry, as well as, a Diamond down if you have whitewater experience.
Ceiba’s rowboats are 18’ and 14’ NRS self-bailers, with our custom aluminum frames and are fully outfitted packages – you can’t go wrong! Inflatable kayaks by NRS and Aire round out your boat rental options at Ceiba.
Food pack services are another specialty at Ceiba Adventures. Adding little delights and customizing your menu to meet your culinary desires for your river vacation is what we do. Packing food for a big group on a long river trip is a science and Ceiba has lots of experience doing it well.
Shuttles, logistics, consulting, advice and providing everything that a trip might need, even at the last minute, is what Ceiba does best. Please feel free to contact us for more information or assistance in planning a successful river trip.
Ceiba Adventiures are the experts with the Diamond Creek Down section in the Grand Canyon. We outfitted Paramount Pictures for the filming of Into The Wild. Ceiba has also outfitted many different commercials, video productions and science trips over the last 25 years from Diamond Down. Grand Canyon Youths, Diamond Down river trips are supported by Ceiba as well.
We bring this experience into the private boating sector too. Whether your group needs a re-supply at Diamond Creek with a motor/transom, fuel, extra ice and some beverarges, or we outfit a 5-day Diamond Down trip, our services for this great trip are always available.
Ceiba’s equipment allows your group to have many options. Transoms for 16′ and 18′ rafts, fuel tanks, motor repair kits including a fire extinguisher, extension handles, and spare props are all part of the package. Our 15 hp Honda, 4 stroke motors are ideal for the 16 & 18′ rafts.
If anyone in your group is experienced in driving the bigger 22′ motorized Snout boats, the 30 hp Honda’s are ideal. Ceiba has a straight transom on our Snout frame, which is ideal for twinning up with 2-30hp’s for the lake traverse.
And don’t forget our sport boat rentals with a 50 hp Honda mounted on. Let’s go waterskiing, its lake Mead, bring your wetsuit!
Safe boating and keep Ceiba in mind for all your Grand Canyon rental river equipment needs!
Raftingly,
Scott Davis

They are on the lower Grand Canyon, a few entire Grand Canyon trips, as well as the San Juan River in southern Utah. If your children, school class, or you know of anyone interested in this great opportunity please contact GCY at:
www.gcyouth.org or 928-773-7921.
Speaking of the San Juan River, we have been outfitting more and more private trips on the San Juan. It is a great family trip, a perfect introductory trip to river running, with awesome archaeological sites, nice camping, and incredible scenery in the desert southwest. Both our 14′ and 18′ boats are perfect for the several optional stretches available. Ceiba has everything available for your entire group, including tents, sleep kits, full kitchens and river bags too.
So we’re recommending groups to get in their reservations early and all of us here at Ceiba are ready to assist you with the perfect river vacation, on the San Juan river!!
We look forward to hearing from you and happy boating!
