Great trip, great guides 👍

I’ve been wanting to do this trip for awhile now. I was in the area last November when I found out about this excursion. It didn’t disappoint. Highly recommend it 👍

Kayak tour for advanced

The kayak tour can be challenging in windy conditions and waves. One should bring good physical condition for this, especially when paddling 2.5 miles in a single kayak. The hike in the canyon takes place on soft sand. Mack, our tour guide, engaged well with our group. Definitely bring enough water and some snacks.

Operator response

Vielen Dank für Ihre ausführliche Bewertung und die hilfreichen Hinweise für zukünftige Teilnehmer. Es freut uns sehr, dass Sie die Tour genossen haben und dass sich Mack so gut auf die Gruppe eingestellt hat. Sie haben völlig recht: Die Kajakstrecke kann bei Wind und Wellengang durchaus anspruchsvoll sein, besonders im Einer-Kajak. Eine gute Grundkondition sowie ausreichend Wasser und kleine Snacks tragen wesentlich zu einem angenehmen Erlebnis bei. Vielen Dank, dass Sie Ihre Erfahrungen teilen. Wir würden uns freuen, Sie bei einer weiteren Tour wieder begrüßen zu dürfen!

Awesome but a workout!

This was really fun but I would say somewhat challenging. You kayaked about 2 miles and there was lots of waves from the boats-another couple’s kayak flipped(they were fine). We hiked about 1.5 hours in mostly sand. It was gorgeous. Kayaked back in same conditions then walked up a super steep hill. Would not recommend for anyone not in some sort of decent shape or is at all uncomfortable on water. Also, tour guides from some of the other companies were down right rude if they thought you were at all in their way. Still glad we did it and was worth the effort.

Operator response

Thank you for sharing your experience! We're glad to hear you found the tour beautiful and ultimately worth the effort. The route can definitely be more physically demanding than some guests expect, with kayaking, sandy hiking trails, and the steep return climb. We appreciate your feedback about the water conditions and the interactions you observed with other tour operators. Guest safety and enjoyment are very important to us, and we'll continue working to ensure everyone has a positive experience. Thanks again for joining us, and we're happy you were able to enjoy the stunning scenery along the way!

Beautiful kayak and hike tour

Beautiful from the moment we launched our kayak. The launch space on Lake Powell was canyon like. The walk through canyon was gorgeous. The walk in the canyon is on level ground but really soft sand. I was struggling in the heat of 102 degrees!!!! So walking the canyon really wore me out. Our guide was kind and thoughtful. He didn’t push us, didn’t patronize or guilt us. I highly recommend this tour.

Operator response

Thank you for the wonderful review! We're thrilled that you enjoyed the beauty of the journey from the moment you launched your kayak. The canyon scenery is truly special, and we're glad it made such an impression. We appreciate your honest note about the soft sand and summer heat—those conditions can definitely make the hike more challenging. Most of all, we're happy to hear your guide helped make the experience enjoyable by providing thoughtful support at a comfortable pace. Thank you for the recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure in the future!

Amazing Experience

Very enjoyable experience! Logan did an awesome job as our guide, great personality and very knowledgeable. Having selected the 10:30 tour, my advice is to take more water than you think you’ll need and wear good shoes/socks!
