What are people saying about Arizona

Kathleen_T, May 2026

Dandrick was so great! He...

Dandrick was so great! He did a lot of the prep work for us - bringing the boats down and back up the hill and accommodating our requests for single/double kayaks. He was very receptive to the group needs and pace and offered a lot of good and interesting information. He also offered to take photos to send to us after the tour. The tour can be considered moderately strenuous but Dandrick does a good job with assessing the capabilities of the group and will make recommendations. Overall, such a cool tour to see the canyon from a different perspective and got a decent workout in!

Smooth Sailing & Stunning Views 🛥️

Enjoyable boat ride with absolutely breathtaking views. I suffer from a bit of motion sickness, but the captain was incredibly thoughtful, patient, and made sure I was comfortable throughout the ride. Even though I was traveling solo, all of the passengers were so friendly and welcoming, which made the experience even more enjoyable. Overall, it turned out to be a wonderful and memorable experience that I would definitely recommend!

Antelope Canyon Lake Powell Guided Kayaking and Hike Tour

Katherine_K, Apr 2026

A great trip!

The kayak and hiking are wonderful and in a really unique area. The water level in Lake Powell is shockingly low - like 100' low and to get to the water from the boat ramp itself is a short, but steep, walk. Our guide gave us ample opportunity to explore and told us how the canyon has changed in the past few years.

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.

Las Vegas: Guided Kayak Tour from Willow Beach to Emerald Cave

Troy_d, Apr 2026

Josh was the best!

Beautiful, peaceful, serene. Crystal clear water with a glassy surface amidst towering sheer cliffs. The cave itself is really cool, but somewhat small. However, the entire journey is beautiful. A fantastic way to get in nature, get away from the city, and move your body. Our guide, Josh, was exceedingly friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. He was very attentive to the group and helped anyone who needed it. The equipment was very nice.

Scott_S, Feb 2026

Relaxing cruise around the island.

This was a nice relaxing cruise that goes around the island and under London Bridge. Well stocked bar on board and a decent selection of draft beers. The cruise is about an hour and takes you past the many small lighthouses that mark the boundaries of the island. The sunset cruise is a nice experience before dinner or a night out.

Lake Powell Guided Kayak and Water Antelope Canyon Tour

Jieying_L, Jan 2026

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.

Emerald Cave Kayak Tour with Wildlife, Swim and Shuttle Option

Fabian_A, Nov 2025

Great tour, be careful...

Great tour, be careful with the timing and arrival. We arrived an hour early due to time zone differences but we were not able to reach out or check our booking details because Willow Beach lies in an area with no mobile network coverage. We started a little late due to this and were able to just catch the Emerald Cave lighting up in time (it was also shining low due to November) but our guide Paul made it work. Additionally, Paul was an awesome guide who provided us a lot of additional insight about the place and area, history etc. Even in November, the 85 °F were inviting us to take a swim during and after the tour which made us soak up the after-vibes of the tour experience to a maximum and made an overall awesome day. The insights Paul provided, made us want to come back for more exploration on our own or even attending the longer tour to the Hoover Dam.

Cailey_W, Oct 2025

Wonderful raft trip

Kris was our guide and she did an AMAZING job showing us every nook and cranny of the canyon, pointing out wildlife, telling entertaining stories, and talking about the science behind each feature of the area. We had an amazing time learning and experiencing Glen Canyon and Horseshoe bend with a stop at Petroglyph beach. Thank you, Kris!

Self-Drive Emerald Cave Guided Kayak Tour from Willow Beach

Richel_B, Aug 2025

Great workout

The drive down was easy. There’s a $25 fee because Willow Beach is a National Recreational area. Parking is easy and the meeting point is easy to find. Have breakfast and coffee before getting there because there’s not much. The tour provides some great snacks. Ryan was kind enough to give us some snacks before the trip. It’s 2 miles down the river to get to the Emerald Caves and 2 miles back. We had a break on one of the beaches but it was still a hard trek. Ryan was a great guide. Loved his dad jokes. The emerald caves were very cool. We didn’t get to stay in for very long because there were a lot of people waiting to go in. Overall a great experience. Nature is beautiful.

Inflatable Kayak Adventure from Camp Verde

Brenda_D, Jul 2025

Amazing!

We’ve lived in Camp Verde for almost 30 years and have just had the opportunity to kayak the Verde with this fun company. Our guide/bus driver John, was born and raised here and is knowledgeable and so funny. He got all of us in our kayaks and said if you don’t return in three days, I’ll come looking for you. The best part is you can travel at your own pace. Take an hour or take three. Totally up to you. Definitely recommend this kayak tour!
