Description

If there is one thing Arizona is known for, it’s the scorching, desert heat, especially during the summer months. However, on this half-day kayaking trip, you will get to beat the heat and cool off in the refreshing water of the Lower Salt River.

Located just a short drive from Phoenix, the Lower Salt River is a beautiful stretch of water that will provide you with some stunning views of the desert area. You will get to admire vibrant, green riverbanks as well as enormous red cliffs. You will also get to see plenty of wildlife as well during this tour, from bald eagles to wild horses.

There are plenty of sections to enjoy on the river, from the Saguaro Lake to the Granite Reef. We will pick the best section based on the river’s water level as well as your skill level.

Another great advantage of this tour is how relaxing it is. Quiet and tranquil, the water along the Lower Salt River will sooth whatever stress you may have. And, we carefully form our schedules to avoid the crowds. Thus, providing you with all of the peace and relaxation you could want. Finally, if you want to do some swimming, you can enjoy that, too!

The tour runs on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays. It lasts from 2 to 3 hours and has departure times of 8:00 am and 1:00 pm.
