A Return to the Dixie Belle

This was my second time taking this Sunset Cruise. Took my adult grandkids. We all enjoyed the cruise even tho it was really warm last nite. When I come to Lake Havasu and probably take new people.in this cruise again, it will definitely be in spring for cooler temps. Nice to also hear the history behind Lake Havasu and the London Bridge.

The 2 ladies that took us out were amazing. They were helpful and made sure that everyone was okay through the whole time. My family really enjoyed the trip even though they were slightly grumpy at the end (they were exhausted, but told me they really loved it). The canyon and lake were beautiful. Recommend this 100% worth the trip.

We had a fabulous time with Robert, our guide. He was very knowledgeable and kept an eye on all of us even when we scattered! A beautiful spot and we feel Robert gave us the best descriptions and history and info along the way. Would recommend 10 out of 10

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.

Don't second guess it - do it!

What a remarkable experience! I feel like our guide Kayelyn (I don't know if I spelled that correctly) found a way to connect with everyone throughout the entire excursion, while imparting knowledge of helpful history and local knowledge throughout. It was such a fun trip that I would highly encourage anyone and everyone to take this trip! Very well with it

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.

Great experience and loved our tour guide. Very knowledgeable and made us feel comfortable with the equipment prior to getting on the lake! Also appreciated a courtesy call regarding weather conditions and offered accommodations for our reservations If we were not comfortable with the winds! Overall, very worth it!

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.

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

Julie_L, Sep 2025

Fun kayaking experience with more of a time crunch end goal. Still tons of fun

This was a very fun activity to get away from the concrete jungle while enjoying the heat! We went down for the 4 mile excursion. The good: our guide, Jessica. Was very personable and had a wonderful, outgoing personality. She included everyone in the group in having fun. She stopped and helped us take pictures of each other and even took pictures of us on her phone that she sent to everyone the next day! Jessica gave us historical facts about the area. The bad: it felt very rushed. Was not a leisurely kayaking experience. It was a get over here in 3 minutes, across the river in 6...I had never been kayaking before and found this much more trying that I thought it'd be. We weren't able to look around at the sights because of the go, go of the tour. On the way back, my boyfriend and I fell back behind the group and enjoyed paddling at our speed looking at the goats, eagles, and all the other sights we didn't get to see on our way to the cove. The cove is very small and only allows approx 10 people in at a time. There was a 30-40 min wait time for our turn to take pictures in the <5 minutes. Overall, I'd definitely do it again. Must do a tandem instead of a single. See if there's a different style group or rental that isnt so time goal oriented that would allow for more of a casual (vs feeling like a race...this was expressed by a few couples in the group) kayaking experience with a goal, ie the cave.

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!
