Fun rafting in AZ - Had a great time on this trip. Our host, Scotty, was funny and informative in taking us to the drop off point. The river water was refreshing (not too cold) for a July day in AZ. We rafted down in 2 kayaks and it was a mix of gentle rapids and slower floating. Lots of birds and wild life to see. At the end we had lunch and a wine tasting, which was a great way to end the day!

Water to Wine lived up to expectations - The kayaking was fun, and we really enjoyed the "bonus" of wine tasting at the end. A great experience overall! If you're on the fence, go ahead and enjoy this experience.

Nice afternoon and great scenery - I booked a Water to Wine kayak trip for a group of 8 people and I was very impressed with the communication from Sedona Adventure Tours. They were quick to respond to messages, and even added a little bit of extra capacity when our original group of 6 needed to add 2 more people. Nice experience on the river, and really enjoyed the atmosphere at the winery before (for lunch) and after (for wine tasting).

Fun Afternoon! - Great fun and good instruction! A great way to spend a hot afternoon. The winery was a nice way to finish the day - try the Petite Syrah and a pizza. Friendly helpful people all around!
