Kayak the Colorado

Absolutely incredible experience with Kayak the Colorado! We showed up without a booking and they couldn’t have been more accommodating—within minutes we were sorted and ready to go. The location is unbeatable, with jaw-dropping views the entire way. The kayaks were really comfortable and easy to handle, making for a smooth and relaxing paddle. Super easy to find, and the staff were all incredibly friendly, welcoming, and helpful. Highly recommend this place if you’re looking for an unforgettable adventure on the water!

Great experience, back haul guides were very knowledgeable on the area and provided information and interesting sites along the way up river. Safety and a memorable paddle was their highest priority. It took us 5 hours which included a lunch break and a cavern hike. At times we sat and just drifted with the current enjoying the view. An easy paddle!

Went in late February and got lucky with a totally clear, blue sky! Besides us there was only one other couple on the river, so we practically had the colorado to ourselves! We got a backhaul service for 9am and used the whole day to explore and enjoy the river. The entire experience was great. We did some lazy paddling, had a picnic, went up some of the hiking trails from the river banks (waterholes canyon was amazing). Many thanks to captain Luke for the excellent tips and pointers!

What a trip! We booked with Kayak the Colorado for a trip in late March but weather set us back 4 weeks. Rescheduling was a breeze. On the drive in from Flagstaff, we missed a turn which got us off schedule and would miss our launch time. Can't say enough about how accommodating they were. We called and were told just head to the launch site and they would take care of us. Arrived at Lee's Ferry with the boat ready to take us out. We did the 10 mile from Petroglyph Beach. Paddling was easy with the current. Definitely bring sunscreen and wear protection for the sun exposure. Water is chilly but you can take a dip to cool off. Epic experience, stunning views, wild horses, long horn sheep and plenty of ducks along the shore. 10/10! A must do!

What a highlight on my 5 month trip travelling through the US. It was a recommendation by someone I ran into and I was not disappointed. Alex and Dale were amazing guides and they made everyone feel welcome and excited about the adventure. I had time and space to myself to kayak down the Colorado River which was so peaceful and even saw some wild horses!! Highly recommended to anyone in the area. It was not difficult or scary as I thought it might be.
