Such a beautiful and fun way to see the land! Brian was extremely knowledgeable and pleasant all while keeping me safe on the adventure!
Beautiful day, great fellowship, and incredible scenery! Thanks for joining us to make a memory.
Great experience! We did this adventure as a family group and couldn’t have been more pleased. Brian and Elijah were patient, explaining everything we needed to know, but not overbearing or micromanaging. They showed us a unique terrain that we hadn’t explored here in Arizona. The repelling was challenging but not scary. Overall a great experience we will remember and definitely recommend!
We had an awesome time in the canyon with your family! Thanks for choosing Adventure On Purpose to make a memory.
I’m 62 & had never rappelled before. From the start, Brian gained my trust. It was perfectly safe and fun!
Thanks for the review! We had a wonderful day together enjoying the beautiful scenery and adventure. Let us know when you would like to go again. :)
What a great way to experience spectacular scenery and try something new and challenging. Brian was very accommodating in planning a water canyoning adventure, even though it wasn’t the right time of year. He provided a completely safe way to enjoy the thrill of rappelling down slippery waterfalls. He was always patient and full of praise and encouragement. I would highly recommend this adventure to anyone with a basic level of fitness.
Thank you for the review. We loved enjoying the water and adventure with you!
I took my 12 year old son on this trip-he was skeptical that it would be fun but he had a blast. It was great to get off the regular trails and really explore the desert. The rappelling was so fun, the idea of it is scary not the actual doing of it. Thanks so much for a great time!
Thanks for joining us for an adventure! It was a blast enjoying the day with you and your son.
Brian and family were great. Gave a whole new perspective on canyoneering and 1st time rappelling was amazing. Brian made everything smooth and was knowledgeable of desert environments. Will definitely be attending again.
