What to expect

Once everyone is geared up, our shuttle takes you to the river so you can skip the heavy lifting and enjoy an easy start to the day. From there, you’ll float and paddle through a scenic 3.1 mile stretch of the Verde River, surrounded by desert views, cool water, and a few gentle mini rapids to keep things fun.
