Day trip from Phoenix

Barbara_N, Apr 2026

We went on a family day outing to see the Emerald cave. The day was too overcast and we arrived early to see the wondrous color inside the cave, but overall was a great day. We did struggle with high wind gusts on our way back to the marina, but the wonderful team that we rented from recognized that we might be struggling and came to our rescue to haul us back safely

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you so much for sharing your experience—it truly means a lot! We’re so glad you and your family had a great day out on the water, even with the overcast skies keeping the Emerald glow a bit more subtle than usual. We’d absolutely love to have you back on a sunnier day so you can catch the cave at its brightest—it’s a completely different kind of magic. Until then, we’re so glad you made some great family memories out there!

Comfortable tour

Takumi_K, May 2026

It was a very comfortable kayaking tour. We had plenty of time to paddle and they prepared snacks and water, so we had a good time on the river. My guide Jake was also friendly and taught me a lot of knowledge on the beach. It is recommended to wear a swimsuit, as it can be hop-on or hop-off in the shallow water of the river, or paddled. If you are unsure of your strength, we recommend a two-seater kayak.
