Nice view
Amazing experience in the Canyon. The view is so worth it. Nice guide and they provide water resistance bag and clothes. The whole tour took around three hours. It is nice and chill suitable for all ages. There only one thing that I feel could be better is our kayak doesn’t have the back seat, my lower back is kind of sore after the tour. Don’t forget to ask staff providing the back seat for your one.

Excellent experience
Very exciting and unique experience. The tour guides were very nice and friendly. They delayed our departure time after we drove to the wrong address.

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.
