Description

Self-guided ½ day Wild & Scenic Verde River trip

This self guided adventure takes you down the Verde River - the only designated Wild and Scenic river in Arizona! Our inflatable kayaks are perfect for this river, and come in single and tandem options. The inflatable kayaks are comfortable, very stable, easy to paddle and just plain fun! Rentals include a PFD, paddle and shuttle.

You will meet your professional shuttle guide at the river who will provide you with transportation, safety, and paddling instructions. A short 15-minute shuttle will take you to the river access point where your adventure will begin. Our meeting location and parking are where your Kayak Adventure ends, so when your trip is over your vehicle is there waiting for you.
