The Daytime Canyon Kayak Tour was nothing short of incredible! From start to finish, the experience was well-organized, and the natural beauty of the canyon made it truly breathtaking. What made the tour stand out even more were our guides, Lofty and Alice. They were absolutely wonderful—both friendly and welcoming, with a great sense of humor that kept everyone smiling the whole time. Lofty’s knowledge about the area was impressive, and Alice was always there to ensure everyone felt comfortable and safe. They worked together seamlessly, making the trip not only fun but also informative. Their thoughtfulness really showed in the little things, like checking in on each person and taking the time to point out the unique features of the canyon that we would have otherwise missed. The pace of the tour was perfect, allowing plenty of time to take in the stunning scenery while enjoying some light-hearted moments with the group. Whether you’re an experienced kayaker or a first-timer, this tour is great for everyone. I left with unforgettable memories and a desire to come back again soon. If you’re looking for a fun, relaxing day on the water, I highly recommend this tour!

Great experience
Daniel was so helpful when we got lost and was late for the tour. He made adjustments and we were able to enjoy the tour as planned. The tour takes care of details from life vest to socks shoes and pants. We had a great experience seeing the beautiful canyon.
