|  Ceiba
Adventures was launched in 1985 with unique
itineraries to the famed Maya ruins in southern
Mexico. That same year, our river trip offerings
were initiated on the Rio Usumacinta, the
river that forms the border between Guatemala
and Mexico.
Ceiba quickly became a well-respected travel
outfitter in the region and expanded with
a full range of adventure offerings in whitewater
trips, Maya archaeology, overland tours, birding
excursions and our exclusive caving trips.
Since then, Ceiba has made many first descents
on rivers throughout southern Mexico, Belize,
and Guatemala. We also have pioneered some
of the deepest and most technical caves in
the western hemisphere. This experience has
prompted the adventure film industry to utilize
Ceiba’s expertise to coordinate, organize
and assist in many film projects, including
Emmy Award winners, over the last two decades.
Our philosophy hasn’t changed since
the beginning. All our trips emphasize conservation
of both the natural environment and regional
ways of life. We strive to intensify the traveler’s
experience through contact with local cultures
and comprehension of natural wonders. Our
well-laid out itineraries are designed for
small-group travel, and each is carefully
designed to capture the very best in our destinations.
Our base of operations is in the cool pines
of Flagstaff, Arizona, the jump off point
for trips into the Grand Canyon region. We
operate as a travel agent for river trips
and adventure travel tours in the Grand Canyon.
We have decades of experience in arranging
and guiding private journeys in the area.
In 2005 Ceiba Adventures expanded its services
into the Grand Canyon river equipment outfitting
arena. It seemed only natural with our 25
year foundation in Grand Canyon and managing
similar operations in Southern Mexico in the
1980s and 1990s. The National Park Service,
USGS Flagstaff, private boaters, river outfitters,
independent scientists, and the film industry
continue to utilize Ceiba for Grand Canyon
outfitting. Our services include river equipment
rentals, transportation/shuttles, complete
food packing and menu planning, and overall
general logistics.
In 2008 we created Ceiba International to
become the Adventure Travel outfitter, which
runs all of our Maya and Latin American trips
and tours. Ceiba Adventures continues to outfit
Grand Canyon private river trips, as well
as other rivers in the region. You can contact

The joy of discovery is in our blood, active
adventure travel is in our hearts, and we
invite you to celebrate life with Ceiba. We
look forward to hearing from you!!
Ceiba’s
Owners:
President Scott Davis’s
extensive journeys throughout Mexico and the
Maya World have established the foundation
for Ceiba’s trip offerings. His many
years of river guiding experience, 250+ river
trips on the Colorado River, and first descents
in Mexico, Guatemala, and Belize have all
helped spawn his position as River Coordinator
for many adventure documentaries. Scott has
worked as a sea kayaking guide, caving and
climbing instructor, dive master, search and
rescue liaison, and continues to be a very
active river and mountain bike guide. Scott’s
humor, fun-loving personality, endless energy,
experience and extensive outdoor knowledge
make him a sought after expedition leader.

Rachel
Schmidt is most definitely Ceiba’s
“Jack Of All Trades,” and
she wears many hats here. With a degree
in Geology and extensive international
boating and guiding experience, her resume
is simply impressive. She continues to
work as a full time guide, keeping her
schedule busy with leading river trips
in Grand Canyon and mountain bike trips
in the high mountains of Colorado. Her
consummate patience, knowledge, cool-headedness
under pressure, easy laughter and infectious
smile all make her the epitome of the
Guide’s guide. |
