We really enjoyed Captain Elaine's narration and we learned so much. This tour is strictly a journey to the Glen Canyon Dam to get you up close and back. Most of the journey is in a no wake zone, that's why it takes 90 minutes. The canyon you travel through is beautiful and quiet. The boat is basic. The main level is enclosed and air conditioned and has comfortable seats. There is a restroom on board. They provide complimentary water and lemonade but I did not have any. The second/top level is open and standing only - no seats. While you can see everything from the first level, we enjoyed being on the top to really see all the views unobstructed. There isn't any shade on the top level so be sure to have sunscreen, sunglasses and a hat. Again, most of the trip is at no wake speed but there were a few spots where we went about 10 mph. It was sunny, no clouds, no wind and about 75 degrees during our 10:30 AM tour. You check in for the tour inside Lake Powell Resort. They take you down to the marina in extended golf carts. That was great because it would have been a long walk down and a very steep walk back. After the tour we enjoyed a coffee and pastry from the Wind Coffee Cafe.

For those hard of hearing, they wouldn't have been able to hear at all. A naturalist on deck explaining the history, sites, etc. would have been much more informative and interactive. How hard would it have been to have someone with a microphone pointing out sites and answering questions?? The scenery was lovely, but we were disappointed with the lack of narration. There wasn't much of it, and what was said couldn't be heard anyway.

Stayed a few nights here in August on both ends of a rafting/camping trip through the Grand Canyon…read more I had an excellent stay both times - very comfortable and clean rooms, wonderfully warm staff, decent prices, and an incredible location inside the Vermillion Cliffs National Monument! It's a bit of a remote location (which I loved) but the lodge has everything you could possibly need - a really great on-site restaurant, general store, gas station, and they even do their own guided fishing trips and kayak rentals complete with backhaul drop offs to a launch point of your choice. And even though you're a bit of a captive audience, their prices are surprisingly pretty reasonable - even for the gas! The lodge is currently split into two sections - one has been recently renovated and one hasn't. I stayed in a double queen room in the renovated section and a single king room in the non-renovated section. Both rooms were spotlessly clean and very cozy - but I definitely prefer the renovated rooms - simply because they have a superior bathroom layout/shower - The shower in the non-renovated room was very rudimentary- almost like one you'd find in an RV - and there was very little counterspace. And the TVs include an option to log into your streaming apps to watch your fave shows. But the beds were both very comfortable in both rooms - the mattresses felt very supportive but not overly hard - seemed like temperpedic quality. The decor in the renovated rooms is very desert-cowboy-chic - but the non-renovated room was super retro - more like a 70s spaghetti western style lol. There are refrigerators and Keurig coffee makers in all the rooms - renovated and non-renovated alike. All the rooms have outside patio seating but it's not private. I was next to the restaurant in the non-renovated room and was worried it might be too loud but I didn't hear a thing - it was peaceful and quiet! Speaking of the restaurant- the food is absolutely fantastic! I ate two dinners here and a breakfast and loved it all. They also have a unique dessert - avocado pie! Highly recommend! Everything here is family owned and all the staff were friendly, welcoming, and very helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and fully intend to return bc there's SO much to explore in the area - especially if you love the desert outdoors!

By far the best aspect of the lodge was the guide we hired to help us fish Lees Ferry. His name was Shane and he was incredibly experienced. It was my first time fly fishing and he taught me to cast, mend, and set the hook. We caught more fish before noon than I did on my last fishing trip. Shane knew every spot to visit to get the trout biting. The food at the lodge was also incredible. I ate one of the best patty melts I've had and the breakfast burritos hit the spot before a fishing trip. I also can't give the sweet potato fries high enough praise. They had the perfect amount of crunch and salt I look for in a fry with that same sweet potato taste. If you stop in; try the avocado pie! The lodge is absolutely worth a visit. Stay a night, try out the restaurant, try to book Shane if you can, and fish until your arm gets tired!

The downside is the indoor pool is ice cold, maybe barely 50 degrees F, and the hot tub has been "under repair" the entire time we have been here (over a week).

First, it took a while to reach the campground from the main highway. Near the beach area, it can be very sandy. If you have a rental car, be careful to find a path with flattened sand unless you're driving a 4x4 jeep. Second, the view of Lone Rock was not impressive due to the lack of water. It used to be possible to kayak around Lone Rock (when it was surrounded by 20 to 50 feet of water). Unfortunately, without the lake water, the view of Lone Rock is meh (comparing the 2023 photos with snapshots from 2019 or 2021). The low water levels are the visible effect of climate change and diminished snowmelt from the mountains feeding into the Colorado River. I did not stay at the campground, so cannot speak to that experience. But if you're looking for a view of Lake Powell - I would drive over to the Wahweep Marina on the AZ side of the state border and take a sunset photo from the boat launch area there.

Camped here with a friend in early September 2020 and it blew our expectations out of the water…read more We were nervous about the first-come-first-serve camping policy and not being able to make a reservation, but there was plenty of room even when we arrived on a Saturday evening on a holiday weekend. We pulled up about an hour before sundown, found a place to park and set up our tent, and enjoyed the beach. There was a stunning sunset and sunrise. Everyone we met was very kind and helpful. The other campers answered questions and helped us find our way around. It seemed like most of them camp here regularly, which gave it a nice community feel. The only downside we found was that it was a little loud in the evening, especially from the ATV's zooming around. Since it was really dark at night, we were even afraid they'd accidentally run over us in our tent. The next morning there was a long line to use the public bathrooms and showers, which are located fairly far from the camping ground, so be sure to account for this if needed. Beware if you have a vehicle that's low to the ground due to the sandy roads. We drove a sedan slowly and didn't have any trouble. The only mistake we made was accidentally driving over a few big rocks at our camp spot, so be on the lookout for those off the "road" I would return and camp here again in a heartbeat.

OFF-THE-CHARTS EXPERIENCE -- DANNY MADE OUR TRIP TO LAKE POWELL UNFORGETTABLE!…read more My wife and I booked a private boat excursion for up to six people to explore Lake Powell, and I can confidently say this was one of the absolute highlights of our entire trip to Arizona! This morning, we followed the instructions to the meeting coordinates and linked up with our guide, Danny. From the first few minutes of meeting him, we knew we were going to have an incredible experience. Danny was genuinely one of the kindest, warmest, most welcoming, and humble guides we have ever met. Nothing about the experience felt rushed, scripted, or overly commercialized. It felt like we were spending the morning exploring Lake Powell with someone who genuinely loves this place and wants you to understand why it is so special. Before we even got underway, Danny made sure we were comfortable on the boat, helped us get situated, and took the time to get to know us. As we started talking, we learned that he has been doing this for around 50 years, grew up in Page, owns a home here, and has an incredible amount of firsthand knowledge about Lake Powell and the surrounding area. One thing that especially stood out to us was hearing about his business and his guides. Danny explained that his guides are locals rather than simply contracted seasonal help brought in from somewhere else. He spoke about them almost like family, and you can tell that he takes tremendous pride in the people representing his business. That personal connection makes a HUGE difference in an experience like this. Once we headed out from the marina, the scenery was absolutely breathtaking. Danny took us deep through Lake Powell, eventually reaching an area where the water became shallower and the canyon continued to narrow. Seeing the enormous canyon walls gradually close in around us was incredible. It gave us a completely different perspective of Lake Powell than we ever could have gotten from simply looking at it from shore. We then backtracked and made our way toward the Glen Canyon Dam, where Danny explained its history, its relationship with Lake Powell, and just how important the lake and dam have been to Page and the surrounding area's economy and development. But my FAVORITE part of the entire excursion was Danny's ability to turn the trip into so much more than a sightseeing tour. Throughout the morning, he would slow down or stop the boat and point out different rock formations, geological features, landmarks, and details that we otherwise would have gone right past. He didn't just tell us what we were looking at -- he explained the history and geology behind it. His passion for teaching comes through completely naturally. You can tell this isn't simply a job to him. He genuinely enjoys sharing his knowledge and watching people experience Lake Powell. That combination of local knowledge, history, geology, storytelling, and genuine hospitality made this experience exceptional. My wife and I cannot recommend Danny highly enough. If you're visiting Page or Lake Powell and want more than just a boat ride, this is the type of experience you want. Having someone who has spent decades here personally show you the lake completely changes the experience. Danny, THANK YOU for making our morning on Lake Powell so memorable and for sharing a place you clearly love with us. We will remember this excursion for a very long time. If we make it back to Page, Arizona, there is absolutely no question -- we will be booking another excursion with Danny! Preston
