We took the Rainbow Bridge cruise from the Lake Powell Resort. It was a beautiful trip around the lake. The walk to the monument is quite a trip, but well worth it. There are areas that are steep and the sand is very soft. However, if you can make the trek, it won't disappoint.

It took a long time to get to the Rainbow Bridge - six hour boat trip to spend 90 mins walkingand viewing the Rainbow Bridge. Interesting talk from ranger. Not really sure whether it was worth it having seen other natural bridges in this area.

I very much enjoyed the boat trip across Lake Powell. The short hike to Rainbow Bridge was nice, even in full sun. I took some awesome pics! I even enjoyed the boat trip back!

The usual way to visit Rainbow Bridge is to take the concessionaire's tour boat out of Wahweap Marina near Page. However, because of the low water (not likely to change anytime soon) what would normally be a five hour trip now takes seven hours! Others have complained about crowding and other discomforts of this large tour boat, but for us... More

We took the boat tour from Lake Powell Resort. The trip out included an audio tour (available in many languages) that was informative - nothing on the trip back. The bridge is visited after a 1.5 mile easy R/T hike. A Park Service volunteer was there to give some background and history on the area. We really enjoyed the hike... More

While this is impressive, I don't think it was worth an airplane trip to see. However, the air trip WAS worthwhile, because it also gave us a wonderful view of the Glen Canyon area as well as a great trip to Monument Valley - all in just a little more than half a day.

Agree with almost all the reviews. Nothing new to say. Just figure out how you want to get there..I guess people hike, rent out your own boat, go with Lake Powell Tours which takes around 7 hours. Either way, this bridge is worth seeing. Even if you go by boat, you have to do a short one mile trek. There... More

We paid about USD130+ per person for a boat trip to the rainbow bridge national monument. It was a 6 hour trip with nearly 5 hours on the boat and only 1 hour at the rainbow bridge. The boat ride was comfortable and beverages and snacks were provided. On the way there, one could also enjoy the views of lake... More
