So glad we did this - Perfect! Easy, well organized. Great instructions. Fun ride. Took exactly an hour with very little effort but fun areas of “swift water” and some wildlife. Peaceful, nice views and wine at the end was perfect! Loved the 10am departure to kick off the day!

Gentle Kayak Adventure in Sedona - This was such a fun and relaxing adventure. The Kayak trip was a fun gentle ride of about 90 minutes down the Verde River. Lots of twists turns and spins of the kayak making it a fun adventure.
At the conclusion of the kayak trip we were assisted out of our boats and walked up the vineyard lined pathways to the winery, where we were treated to wine tasting (included in the price of the kayak trip).
It was a fun adventure in the 'Red Rock' area, and I would do again, if given the opportuity.

A+ Kayaking - Scotty was an awesome guide! Kayaking on the river was our favorite thing from our trip and having a glass of wine and cheese plate after was amazing.

Perfect pairing, river paddle and wine. - This self guided paddle through some short fast rapids was perfect. You can go fast or slow, up to you. We had a bonus sighting of a bald eagle❣️ Being from California, near wine country, the Alcantara wines were very surprisingly good. A great experience overall.

Fun way to start off birthday weekend - Matthew our guide was entertaining, gave us lots of advice and was clear on safety. The kayaking was just enough challenge to keep us on our toes, enough small rapids for some funand enough floating to take in the scenery! Saw some wonderful wildlife as well! Great way to kick off my wife's birthday weekend!
The winery afterwards was fantastic, wonderful wines and delicious pizza! We will definitely do this again! But won't forget to bring bug spray for some mosquitoes during the kayak.

Most relaxing kayak trip - This was the most relaxing but also fun kayak trip we have ever taken. Scotty was a great guide and gave us good information about the river. We did see a lot of ducks and an owl.

Fun experience! - We loved the experience and everyone was super friendly and we loved Ben’s sense of humor!! The only negative we would pull is we feel the price point was a bit high for only 1 hour in the river. It would have been nice to have more time on the river! Otherwise we loved it!!
