Please note: you will need to arrive 45 minutes before the departure time noted on the booking schedule. For example, please arrive at 10:15 for the 11am launch time, 12:15 for 1pm, etc. If you are late to arrive and the trip has departed, we can not return to pick you up as we have certain launch times at the river. We will do our best to reschedule you and be accommodating but we will not be able to open up a new trip.

Hop in one of our top of the line, hard-shell kayaks and cruise down the scenic Verde River. These boats feature a sit-on-top design that makes them comfortable, stable and most of all, safe. Kayaking the Verde River @ Clarkdale is an absolute blast! It's a fun, interactive experience where you get to cool off and learn about the unique history of the Verde River.
