What are people saying about Arizona

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!

Lake Powell Kayak and Water Antelope Canyon Hike Guided Tour

Emma_P, Oct 2026

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.

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

Ani_F, Oct 2026

Great adventure

Great tour! Amazing views. Dylan was a great guide, not only did he give us a history lesson but kept us safe and hydrated. The stop at the beach for a dip in the freezing water is a must!!! Its hot out there. We were lucky with the wild life and saw an eagle, the Horned sheep, crayfish. The cave was just ok but the entire kayak adventure was the highlight! Its about a 5 mile row so if youre not ready for that I suggest you tandem.

Antelope Canyon Photo Boating Excursion 2 hours

colleen_c, Oct 2026

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.

Antelope Canyon Lake Powell Guided Kayaking and Hike Tour

David_R, Oct 2026

Memorable kayak, hike and swim!

What an amazing adventure kayaking and hiking through Lake Powell and Antelope Canyon! The scenery was absolutely breathtaking, and our guides, Ben and Tristan, were fantastic—so knowledgeable and full of interesting facts about the canyon! A few tips: Be prepared to get wet! And with the low water levels, be ready for a steep walk down to the kayak launch. Bring plenty of water, sunscreen, and good shoes that can get wet. Such a memorable experience and definitely a highlight of our trip!

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.

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.

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.

Lake Powell Guided Kayak and Water Antelope Canyon Tour

Matthew_R, Apr 2026

Antelope Excursion

Vince was an incredible tour guide with deep knowledge of the canyon, the river, and its history. Since our group was small, we got plenty of personal attention, tons of interesting information, and lots of time to explore the beautiful scenery at our own pace. He also shared great recommendations for things to do in Page—The Birdhouse was a standout! Overall, this was an amazing experience, and we made memories that will last a lifetime. I highly recommend this tour!

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.
