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!

Lake Powell Kayak and Water Antelope Canyon Hike Guided Tour

Jake_M, May 2026

An amazing place made special by an incredible guide

This was a fantastic activity and our guide, Nolan, really elevated the experience. We paddled in glorious sunshine, swam in the refreshing lake water, and explored Antelope Canyon from the unique perspective of the water. Nolan set the atmosphere, shared his calm energy and perspective on the environment, and had a final surprise up his sleeve that made the hike up into the canyon genuinely special. Can't recommend this highly enough, especially if you're lucky enough to have Nolan as your guide.

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.

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!

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 Mead Kayak, Emerald Cove

Visiting Lake Mead and doing kayaking was wonderful experience, it is really worth the visit. Having a guide like Josh who helped us understand the history of Hoover dam, and how come Emerald Cove, and Las Vegas came into picture, everything was wonderful about this Kayak experience. I appreciate Josh for his time and effort in making this trip a memorable one, highly recommend him for a great experience to this wonderful site.

Emerald Cave Kayak Tour with Wildlife, Swim & 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.

Horseshoe Bend Rafting Trip in Page

Karen_P, Oct 2025

Colorado River up close

We had a great experience with this company on 9/26/25. We did the Horseshoe Bend rafting trip. The company was very organized. After a comfortable bus ride of approximately an hour to Lee Ferry, we met our guide Tom for the trip. He was very knowledgeable about the history and geology of the area. We saw big horn sheep, wild horses and lots of ducks and other birds. The raft stopped once for a break and rest rooms and we were able to look at petroglyphs. It was very interesting. The bus ride back was also comfortable. Overall a great way to see the beautiful Colorado River up close and learn its history.

Great experience!

Due to an inaccessible road, we were not able to take the trip we’d planned. However the company offered us an upgraded tour at no extra cost. Guides Ray and Soren did a fantastic job leading our kayaking tour. The wild donkeys were the added bonus! Thanks for a great trip!

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!
