It said 3 hours. It took 1.5 hours and we took our time.

Being on water is my happy space and this trip meant I could take all my American family with me. The children loved it and so did the adults!

Matthew was fun and knowledgeable of the area and instructions for us to stay safe on the water. The ride to the drop off location was short. This portion of the Verde River was beautiful, we saw blue hearing and we found an old tree to jump off which was fun. We stopped at a beach area to swim and have a small lunch. We highly recommend it!

We had a blast! The inflatable kayaks were the best! As inexperienced as a few of us were, it was easy to cruise down the river. The staff was great, very helpful and gave us good instructions. Definitely do this as it will be a highlight of your trip!

Such a fun experience!! It was a beautiful day for a float on the river with a few spots of small rapids. Don’t worry though it wasn’t crazy! Would definitely do it again. The team was great!

Great for beginners. Some mild fast water areas for a little thrill. Good way to spend a hot afternoon
