favorite activity of the trip - absolutely my favorite activity of the entire trip! closed toe shoes are required so i bought some water shoes at the shop for $20. we went during off season so luckily it was just our personal group of 5 and we each had our own guide. jackson made my experience so so SO much fun and exciting!! the rapids were rough and rocky with a few calmer areas in between. the surrounding nature was beautiful. i would absolutely do it again. it was not a chill or calming experience, so i recommend if you are into fast paced exciting adventures. thank you jackson and everyone else! <3

Very funny - A very fun experience on the Colorado River, suitable even for clumsy people like me 😂 The guides/monitors help you at all times, whether you get stuck or fall off the tube ("float"), which happened to me. Thank you so much to all of them and especially Damian who almost drowned twice when he tried to help me 😂 Sorry 🥹 and thank you so much for being a "savior angel" 😂😊

River tubing - We were on the Tui Grand Tour with my wife and this adventure tour was on our second day. It was absolutely amazing and super fun. We have never done similar like this before, but it's worth it. During the tubing you can enjoy the fast river rafting and also the slowly chill moments while the river flow is calm. Recommended to wear water shoes and take a waterproof camera (the organizer taking pictures about the tour which are purchesable for extra cost).

Float trip is a high-energy thrill! - We did the tubing trip with these folks. THIS IS NOT A FLOAT TRIP! It’s you sitting in an inner tube going through 5 km of rapids with occasional short float spells. It is a LOT of fun. The guides make sure you are positioned to best get through the rapids, but you need to be aware that you might end up going though them backwards and if you don’t scrunch up your feet and keep your elbows in you could be banged up a bit. The rapids have clearly been curated as there are some suspiciously- straight lines of rocks in places to make sure you stay on the right path down the river. We took the 2:30 trip and there were three guides for four people; earlier in the day you can have a ratio more like 6 guides for 30 people. Is located on the grounds of the hotel of same name.

Highlight of our trip - If you do one thing, this is it! It was AMAZING. Worth every penny. Even getting stuck was fun. You have to wear closed toe shoes. This staff if the best! Some parts of the river are such an adrenaline rush! The age range on our tour was 20ish - 70ish. Bring money for tipping. We were told not to bring any because it will get wet. I felt bad we had no money to tip after such a great experience.

Great Family Fun - Horseback Riding and Tubing - Two families for a total of nine of us did the horseback riding and tubing. Great fun for everyone. Tubing was particularly exciting and the staff was really fun to have around. Would do it again in a heart beat.

River Tubing - We had a great afternoon on the water. The rapids were quite fast. I was anxious about the trip. The guides did such an amazing job keeping everyone together and safe. This trip is not for babies in any way. Be ready for a thriller people. 😉
