Beautiful tour of the...

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.

Great morning kayaking lake Powell

Fabulous morning kayaking lake Powell - our guide Dandrick was very patient and kept a check on all of us to make sure we were doing ok - was so much fun. The hike into antelope canyon I couldn’t do but my friend said was amazing and the canyon out of this world. Would highly recommend this trip

Antelope Canyon Lake Powell Guided Kayaking and Hike Tour

Sylvia_L, Apr 2026

The Absolute Best Way to See Antelope Canyon!

Starting from the Antelope Point Launch Ramp, we paddled across Lake Powell. The water was like glass in the morning, peaceful, scenic, and honestly, a great arm workout! Be prepared for a little bit of "choppy" water on the way back if the wind picks up or boat wakes from the main channel roll in. Once we reached the back of the canyon, we docked the kayaks and hiked through the slot canyon. Because you can only access this section by water, it felt so much more private and serene than the standard walking tours. The geological formations are breathtaking, and our guide was great about pointing out unique features and helping us take photos. I would highly recommend taking this tour!

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.

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.

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.

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.

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!
