How It Works?
- This experience begins at the Alcantara Vineyards (this is also where the river trip ends).
- We’ll then take you on a 15-minute shuttle ride from our parking area to where your boats and the Verde River await.
- Next, the shuttle guide will provide you with safety and paddling instructions. Your small tour group then hops in kayaks on a gorgeous floating, scenic stretch of the Verde River. It has just enough baby chutes and riffles to add a bit of excitement without ruffling any feathers.
- When your river trip is over, your vehicle is waiting for you at the take-out area of Alcantara Vineyards. If you are headed for the Predator Zip Line, Out of Africa or the Verde Canyon Railroad for the afternoon, this two-hour river adventure is a perfect way to start your adventure-filled day.
What to bring?
- Clothing that is suitable for the weather conditions.
- Change of clothing for after the trip (expect to get wet), which you can leave in your vehicle.
