What a magical wonderful experience
We did our tour with Jeff and his crew and they were pleasant and courteous. We were a group of 11 with kids ranging from 8 to 16 yrs old. The tour was absolutely amazing. Jeff was very knowledgeable and patient. We all felt comfortable with him and safe. The tour is definitely a must do all the kids loved it. If you are debating, don't think twice about it, its a must do! This place is magical. We all loved it and from a 1 to 10 We rate it a 12! Its breathtaking and Jeff definitely guided us and the water guns were sooo much fun! Thank you again for allowing my family group of 11 to experience this wonderful opportunity.

Epic trip through Horseshoe Bend. He also takes some amazing photos!
This was such an epic activity. Guide was extremely informative. Knowledgable about the geological, botanical and human history if the river canyon. Kayaking the Colorado took us upriver and I interacted with them several times before booking. They were extremely helpful. You could use them to drop you off in the canyon but having a guide to ask questions about the canyon, to guide you on the best angles to take and to assist if you flip was priceless. Jeff knew when to talk and when to just let us soak in the experience. I cannot recommend him enough!
