We had a great time on our float!! My husband and I were the only 2 floating that day which was kinda cool. The river was not moving fast at all so it did take us 3 hours to get down. We did not realize the water was going to be so murky but it was not a deal breaker. The weather was perfect. Not to hot and the water was about 70+. There was plenty of areas that were shady so we were not in the sun the whole time. And we saw some wildlife along the way!! Would recommend doing!!

Had a great time on the Verde River. We were given instructions by Matthew prior to going which made our trip that much more enjoyable. We were the only ones on the river. The weather was beautiful and we can't wait to do it again. We also saw a snake swimming across the river which was pretty awesome

Located in cottonwood about 1 hour south of Sedona. Fun fun fun! I want to go again 10 times! This is usually a self guided kayak excursion. Ben came with us today, a special treat and he is amazing, had knowledge of the river, plants, birds. He made sure everyone was safe and had a good experience. The time on the website and email are slightly off. It says 10:00a to 1:00p. This is more than enough. Meeting time is 8:45a and you need to be at meeting area by 9:00a. Then you get on a shuttle for a 10 minute drive to go up river where you will launch. So you car is at the end point of kayaking. We got a tandem inflatable kayak which cost about $150 for 2 people. There are taxes and don't forget gratuities, in cash. Don't know if they take venmo or Zelle. The adventure...so most of it is easy slow floating. There are a few spots where it flows faster and you may have to steer trees and rocks. We came in last week of August, so low water season. The river is only 3-4 feet deep in the majority of places. The weather was perfect today at around 70sF near 9:00a and around 82F at 10:00a. High is 88F at 2-3p. It rained in the last few days so we got very fast flow and completed our trip from 9:00 to 11:15am ish. We were down changing and in the car by 11:30a. In the 2.5 duration, you may get out on land halfway and take a snack / water break and stretch legs for circulation. We were told that high water season is spring. Something about May being the month where they let water out so water is lower then as well. The Verde river provides water to Phoenix. You can be all levels and come. The guide will give you general instructions in the beginning and provide life vests. All ages kids and toddlers can come. If your kid is smaller than perhaps age 12, you may need to bring your own baby or kid sized life vest for them. Your butt and arms, and bag will be wet. They suggest a zip lock bag to hold your phone and wallet, but bring any backpack. It will get a little muddy from your feet (just clean it at home). Definitely need hat, sunglasses. Suggest to bring 1-2 liters of water and snacks. You have time to eat 1 hour in on the land. Suggest you to wear swim suit or quick dry T shirt, and board shorts (for surfing, boogie boarding) or quick dry hiking shorts and water shoes like Teva. There is a lot of trees on the route but you'll get sun. They do not take more than 11-12 people at a time. I hope this helps. I look forward to coming again.

We loved our Kayaking adventure! Our guide, Ben, was exceptional. He was funny, took time to show us landmarks and cool things, and made the trip memorable. The float trip was so relaxing and fun...we thoroughly enjoyed nature's beauty along the river. The wine tasting experience was incredible also! Great wine and wonderful people!

It was an awesome experience. We felt like we were in the wilderness as we went along the river, which really added to the ambiance of the experience. Scott was a great guide for us!

My husband and I both thought this was one of our favorite excursions we’ve ever done on vacation! The “rapids” were fun but not hard or dangerous. The calm water was nice and relaxing. There was enough shade to cool down a little but enough sun as well.

Great time on the river. Scot was a great guide, shoved us off and was there to meet us at the end. Instructions were clear and everything worked as he said it would. Even saw some critters - a couple of fawns, some beautiful birds, a couple of great blue herons. Highly recommend.

Highly, highly recommend. Ben the travel guide is funny, laid back, and educational. They provide a relaxing environment for beginner (and experienced) kayakers. I’ve kayaked a dozen springs in Florida (where I’m from) and this one was my favorite by far. Small bits of “rapid water” and plenty of relaxing water to just float and goof around. Getting stuck on a rock or two adds to the fun and the duck boats are much sturdier than they seem. The wine stop we had at the end was amazing as well, great wine and a large homemade sandwich chips and cookie to go with. Beautiful winery and great hostess. Excited to tell my family and friends back home.

Overall a fantastic experience. The verde river was beautiful. The weather was perfect. Ben was super informative, helpful and kind. I will say that I was confused that the description and the actual experience. Not disappointed necessarily and perhaps it was me who misunderstood. The description said we would paddle to the actual winery. We were shuttled from a recreational area to a starting point to kayak. We ended where we parked our cars and drove to the actual winery. The winery in the description was Alcantara’s vineyard but we were told to go to the The Salt Mine Winery. It was still lovely overall but wanted to give an honest review in case others might be expecting something different orrrrr maybe I read the wrong thing. I’d still do it again.

We had the best time on the kayaking trip and our host Matthew was so much fun. There were plenty of fun manageable rapids to make the ride fun and it was also very beautiful.
