Fun, relaxing self guided tour. Great for solo travelers,,staff was great and very informative. Wine was great finish.
The kayak trip was fun, but we finished in about an hour and 10 minutes and wished it was longer. We saw lots of wildlife along the way. We appreciated the relaxing atmosphere at the winery afterward, especially the live music.
Cool experience for a day in the desert being from Chicago. Nice stretch of river with a couple quick current pickups and some slow float sections. The guys working there were friendly, knowledgeable, and just threw out a good vibe. Baby Jesus!
Scotty aka Young Jesus was the perfect guide…we had a remarkable experience and will absolutely return again!
I enjoyed the kayak and the winery was the perfect ending to the excursion! If you are physically able to manage I would recommend!
Water was very low and muddy but we still had a fun day paddling down the Verde River. Boats bounce off rocks easily. Stay to the right when river splits to get back to the beach you end on. Winery tasting was delicious and we purchased food as well.
What an amazing 4th of July experience! Huge shoutout to Mathew, our bus driver, who made it a memorable experience and kept us laughing. The Verde River tube float was absolutely incredible. The water was warm, the river was surprisingly uncrowded, and the scenery was breathtaking. We loved the perfect mix of peaceful, relaxing stretches and a few fun, exciting moments along the way. To top it all off, ending the day at the winery was the perfect finish. They even had great gluten-free options, which we really appreciated! Overall, this was a 10/10 experience, and we'd absolutely do it again. Highly recommend
Super fun. Guide with the blue hair was super cool and knowledgeable. Definitely recommend! Will do again next visit to Sedona!
It was an adventure and we enjoyed it! Calm water, friendly staff and a visit to a local winery! Check it out!
This was a beautiful ride down the Verde River. Since I was solo, Scotty (guide) went with me & he’s an amazing human! Great way to spend a hot day in Sedona!
