Take a
Sedona kayaking adventure down
the majestic Verde River.
Kayaking the Verde River, is a
rewarding way to experience this
beautiful Arizona wilderness
waterway. Sedona Adventure Tours
offers you the choice of guided
kayaking adventures or the
choice to simply rent our kayaks
and create your own kayaking
adventure!
The Verde River is a jewel
in the desert and is the only
federally designated "Wild and
Scenic" river of Arizona. This
majestic River runs 200 miles
along three national forests and
offers unlimited possibilities
for kayakers and sightseers.
Carving a spectacular canyon
painted by nature in multiple
hues of gold, reds and browns,
it drops at an average rate of
20 feet per mile. The lush
foliage along its banks includes
Cottonwoods, Sycamores and
cattails, with bright yellow
flowers hugging the banks. Often
spotted wildlife includes great
blue heron, otters, deer and an
incredible variety of bird life,
which include Golden and Bald
Eagles.
The well-channeled Verde
River allows us to operate
inflatable kayak trips all year
round. The Verde River offers
lots of fun, with its twisting
waterways full of chutes and
drops interspersed with calm
floating pools. Come and
experience the unparalleled
beauty for yourself.
What are inflatable kayaks? The inflatable kayak is designed with high performance AIR cell technology. You sit suspended above the water line on an inflated floor. Inflatable kayaks are also called "duckies" and you can take them just about anywhere; they deflate to the size of a large suitcase and can easily fit in a truck or your car. Duckies are light, easy to navigate and unbelievably stable so no experience is necessary.
Kayaking the Verde River, under the instruction of your guide is a rewarding way to experience this beautiful Arizona wilderness waterway. Our knowledgeable guides will lead you down the river, pointing out historical landmarks as well as sharing legends of the Native American cultures, Spanish Conquistadors, and the Pioneer Cowboys.
From our Boathouse in West Sedona we will travel to Clear Creek Landing where your guide will give kayaking instruction and will help you get into your kayak. The Verde River Kayak "Float" Trip will be approximately three to four hours or about five miles from put-in to take-out. About half way through the trip, your guide will dock all the kayaks at a historical marker where you will enjoy a picnic lunch. From here, your tour will continue down the twisting waterways and small drops with slow-current pools to float down, offering great photo opportunities or fun-filled water cannon fights. Your kayak trip on the Verde River will end at Beasley Flats where we will shuttle you back to the Boathouse. From start to finish, this tour is approximately 6 hours.
