Best time ever! - Matt was an amazing and funny guide with lots of knowledge of the river and surrounding area. The water was calm and smooth and cooling. This will be a regular stop for me when visiting Sedona from now on!

"Down the lazy river..." - Getting stuck on some rocks and needing help of fellow kayakers to get me off! Then getting stuck again about 10 yards from the finish shore! We were exhausted at the end, however it was great fun! We were grateful to relax at the winery. Most pleasant

Fantastic little adventure! - We would absolutely recommend this to anyone! I’ve never kayaked before, so I was a little nervous, but it was super easy to do on the inflatable ones. Definitely recommend sunscreen and a hat because it’s full sun in multiple areas! We had a blast and can’t wait to do it again!

Beautiful Kayak Trip - The kayak portion exceeded our expectations. So beautiful and lots of fun. The wine was delicious. The only disappointment were the appetizers we ordered. The bread was cold on both appetizers and not very good.
