Cara_H, Oct 2026

Sunset with friends!

Perfect weather in October. Light jacket may have been needed. Not much seating on the outside of the boat where we spent most of our time to enjoy the views of the river/lake. Inside bar area had the a/c really cold. Great hospitality by the staff and bartender. Fun facts about the area announced periodically. Perfect sunset views. We enjoyed our ride!

Amazing way to see the canyons and kayak too.

This tour is an absolute must! Even before the tour communication with the operators was great. We were able to request the type of kayaks we needed for our group ( tandem vs single). All messages were answered professionally and timely. We were guided by Dandrick, who was amazing. We were never rushed. We all felt like this really was our tour. Dandrick made sure everyone was taken care of and having a good time. When it came to the two small climbs to go deeper into the canyon he showed us multiple ways to climb and was there to lend a hand when needed. The canyon was beautiful and even though there were other tour groups there, it still felt like it was just your group. A few things to note. While the tour is beginner friendly the kayak portion back can get a little more difficult due to the waves from other boats. That being said everyone managed it no problem and we even got to stop off for a little swim too. The most challenging part of the tour comes any beginning and end. The walk down to the kayaks is very steep and rocky. It is important to take your time and pay attention to your footing. If you enjoy kayaking and want to see the canyon then I highly recommend this tour we had a couple of 65 plus people in our group and everyone agreed that the tour was great.

Best ride on Lake Powell

Small, intimate boat ride that was adventurous. Just 3 couples. We each had our own space. With the water level so very historically low, more of the cliffs and canyon were able to be seen. Follow the instructions given to you about parking and where to find the boat-they are perfect when followed. It was fun and relaxing to be on the water.

Escape Vegas heat

We participated in this excursion in July and had a wonderful time. The staff was super friendly and the kayaking was awesome. Beautiful experience. We ended up going on a morning that had an incredible mist over the river. We had a great time! It was really nice to escape Vegas to do something very UnVegas like. It’s also close to Hoover Dam, which we stopped to explore on the way back. Would highly recommend.

A must do.

This was an incredible experience. Dylan was our guide and he was super safety conscious and very thorough. He knew all about the area and was very approachable. We picked us up at the designated spot and brought us to the kayaking lake. My girlfriend and I felt very comfortable in his truck. He answered all our questions about the land and wildlife around. The kayaking part is strenuous. We had a little problem keeping ourselves in the right direction. We went swimming in the crystal clear cool waters Dylan always had us in our sights and even offered us a tow back - which we gladly accepted. On the way back to the strip, Dylan took us to a sight overlooking Lake Meade where Big Horned Sheep were roaming around in a playground. I highly recommend this excursion. We had a ton of laughs, and it was great to get away from the strip for a day. Dylan was great.

Awesome way to see Horseshoe Bend.

Great trip. Our guide, Pat was awesome. His knowledge of the area was very educational, He entertained us with humorous stories as we traveled down the river. The views were incredible. We saw wild horses feeding along the river. The check in and out was very efficient. Highly recommend this excursion.

The tour guide was very kindly and the experience was awesome. Take a minimum of 3L per personne cause it’s was a very warm day around 50 degrees. The break at the beach is a magical spot without the crowd. You should book this activity early in the morging. 100% recommended

Self-Drive Emerald Cave Kayak Tour-Guided Willow Beach Paddle

Choose THIS company!!

Robert was an absolutely FANTASTIC tour guide!! He was one of the first ones there in the morning, had all of our kayaks set up and ready to go even before the scheduled time. He was so friendly and helpful, and was a wealth of knowledge along with providing drinks and snacks! He took lots of photos of us during the trip, and send us the link within 2 hours of completion (the photos were free, too! So nice!!). We couldn’t have asked for anyone better. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience because of Robert!! Sure, you can save a few pennies to rent kayaks and do the trip on your own…but you won’t get any of the tidbits of information about the area. And THIS specific company did a fantastic job maintaining communication and making sure we were satisfied! There are SO many choices out there, but I’d highly recommend this one!!

Half-Day Lower Salt River Rafting Tour

Karen_P, Apr 2026

Beautiful location. More...

Beautiful location. More strenuous than the description suggested, with more rowing required. Water level was low and we got stuck at one point, and at another we hit a rock and my brother fell out of the raft. Guide was knowledgeable and skilled. Viator did not communicate my request to Cliff Creek Outfitters that we wanted to be put in with another group. When I actually identified the tour provider and called them directly, I had lost the opportunity to cancel our private tour and paid for four people when there were only two of us. This was Viator’s problem, not the operators of the activity and I am less than pleased about it. If you have less than four people, call Cliff Creek Outfitters directly to schedule.

Absolutely wonderful!

We went to the kayaking experience and lower Antilope canyon in the same day. If you only have time for one, go kayaking. Justin was our guide, and we had a blast! We started in the colarado river reservoir, with vertical cliffs reflected on the completely unperturbed water. As we go deeper into to canyon, it just keeps on getting better. The hike is kind of similar to lower antelope, but without all the people. Justin knows a ton about all the geology, and he is just a very chill guy overall. 12/10.
