Top Arizona On the Water

We did the half-day Emerald Cove kayaking tour with Adventure Child and had a great experience. It was a hot day, but the water was refreshingly cold and made for the perfect outing. Our guide, Gino, was outstanding. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone in the group was comfortable throughout the trip. He shared interesting information along the way and took photos for everyone, which was a nice touch. What really stood out was how proactive and helpful he was on the water. He assisted a group whose canoe had overturned and filled with water, helping empty it and get them safely back on their way. He also helped another group whose paddleboard had blown away in the wind after they fell off and weren’t tethered. Without his quick response, they likely would have lost the board. Gino’s professionalism, attentiveness, and focus on safety made the trip even better. Highly recommend Adventure Child and, if you’re lucky enough to get Gino as your guide, you’re in great hands!

We highly recommend this trip! From the ease of booking, to the very professional staff & facilities in Page to the trip itself, just top notch all the way. Our river guide was Kelly & not only was she an expert driving the boat, she was so knowledgeable about the river, the area & has a huge passion for the history and lore of the canyon. Her research and obvious admiration of John Powell made him come alive to us as we traveled in his path and saw the canyon & river not only as a beautiful piece of nature, but realized the determination it took from so many to get it to where we can easily float it and see it for ourselves. I’m sure every guide is great, but we really lucked out by getting Kelly, and if you can, request her. We saw wild mustangs, big horn sheep, birds & beaver dams and with Kelly, you got a backstory on it all! She shared her insights from floating on the river daily for 16 years, so we could see it from such a deeper perspective. We loved this about our tour guide. We will definitely rebook with this company, highly recommend, our experience was epic!

Beautiful tour of the canyon from the water! Anthony, our captain was very knowledgeable about the rock formations and really loves what he does. The meeting point was a little tricky to get to due to some construction and Katherine was very specific in her directions, even providing pictures of the parking area so we were assured we were in the right place.
