Your experience starts when you meet us 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.

Then, the shuttle guide will then provide you with safety and paddling instructions. Your small intimate party 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.
  • Shoes or sandals that can get wet, sunhat, sunglasses and strap, sunscreen, plastic ziplock for phones, camera, and whatever else you need to keep dry.
  • Water bottle and quick snacks.

What to Know:

  • We thoroughly clean and disinfect all our equipment after each use.
  • Everyone’s safety is our greatest concern and we adhere to any social distancing measures in place.
