River Mike and River John and the staff at the ranch were wonderful. We even got to see the wild horses, stunning! Relaxing and enjoyable water experience.
Rafting tour
Our guide Mike was amazing! He was very knowledgeable! We are so glad we chose (last minute) to do the raft tour! We were lucky enough to see wild horses too!
Great experience
We had an amazing experience on the river!! It took us about 2.5 hours to get down the river. We will absolutely be back again. Thank you!
Such a great excursion! Worth every penny!
Mike was our tour guide and he was great! He was funny, answered our many questions and provided lots of great information about the wildlife, nature and even the City of Phoenix. We truly enjoyed everything about our tour!
