Important information

Know before you book

  • If everyone in your group isn’t up for the challenge of an inflatable kayak just yet, they can go along in a raft with a guide at the same time!
  • This is a more independent trip option that doesn’t always come with a kayak guide, but our raft guides will be there to give you instruction when you need help.
  • This trip is a bit of a workout! The big, beautiful flat water sections and intermittent rapids will have you paddling most of the time.
  • If you opt for the double kayaks, they can be bit more challenging than the singles because they are longer, heavier, and require coordination to maneuver together.

I did the Mesa Verde Tour with lunch and Ann Rapp, our guide, was the best! She not only provided us with in-depth information, history and theories about the sites we were seeing, but also took a lot of time at some of the less “popular” dwellings so we could understand the varied communities. I can’t speak highly enough of our tour and I think this is an ideal way to experience a broader picture of Mesa Verde and its history.
