We did the tubing adventure on a Saturday at the end of September and were pleasantly surprised by how warm it still was. I had trouble getting in touch with the business ahead of time, as they didn't answer the phone. We went with just the 2 of us, but a lot of other people had the same start time as us. They ended up pushing our start time an hour later so it would be warmer outside. There were just two of us, and we rented two regular tubes plus one for our smaller cooler. The tubes come with bottom netting, so the smaller cooler fit perfectly and wouldn't fall out of the tube. The tubes didn't get too hot, so we didn't need to bring sheets to lay over them. They also provide attachments to secure your tube to the cooler tube. Just be mindful not to attach more than two tubes together, as the river gets narrow in some parts. They also give you mini paddles for navigating through stagnant areas of the river. The trip was very relaxing, and we really enjoyed it, though it took much longer than we expected.

The best kayaking ever, with best guides, John and Matthew the 2 best guides and helping everyone on every corner. Amazing and unforgettable trip absolutely a must for anyone visiting Arizona specially Sedona. John and Matthew, thanks for all your help. Sincerely Piere & Judy

For a smashing good time, choose Verde River Adventures. Our shuttle and sort of guide Anthony was entertaining, light hearted and fun while being responsibly informative while sending adventurers off into the wilderness armed with but a paddle and inflatable rafts while defending against wild hippos, water moccasins and vengeful eagles. Matthew made sure we knew how to paddle our little hearts out and whack any beavers who stood in our way with their dams. In all seriousness though, it was a self guided tour but Anthony let us know everything we needed to know. We had life vests to make us feel secure, and we were given strict instructions to stay right where there was a fork in the river. To help more, there was an arrow pointing right at that crucial point. Matthew really did review some paddle skills and what to do and not do in addition to how to get out of getting stuck. The float was an easy relaxing float. My friend from out of town and her sis loved our adventure today, and the wine tasting afterwards really made the day amazing! Thanks guys for the wonderful experience!

My sons and I had an amazing time!! Danny was a wonderful guide that gave us very clear instructions and was there to offer extra help if needed. The route was calm and the scenery was beautiful.

This is our HERO saving us

Thomas literally SAVED our lives! I was not paying attention when Ken told us where to exit and kept going despite my husband disagreeing. PAY ATTENTION! Look for the blue sign! Anyways, Thomas literally came to the rescue and saved our lives. I was really scared, I fell in the cold river water and basically did all the things they told me not to do (again pay attention) and he was SO incredibly kind and reassuring when he came and rescued us! Ken was great too, they were both so helpful and gave us a very good experience! Definitely recommend this tour agency! Also, these inflatable kayaks are so much better than the plastic kind I've used in the past. Thank you so so so much Thomas and Ken!!!!

Lazy part of the river.

Tube madness was tons of fun. Be prepared for a few hours of floating down the sunny Verde River. Some areas you will need to paddle while others have small rapids. Bring water, a good hat and sunscreen. Nice and friendly staff.

We had an excellent day kayaking on the Verde River. The staff is outstanding and made our river adventure a lot of fun. Perfect for beginner kayakers.

Towing grandma down the river

We went on the tubing madness adventure. It's a self-guided tour. They take you upstream and help you get in the river and then meet you back down where you parked. The tubing is great if you are physically able to paddle yourself down the river. The river wasn't very high and did not have a lot of currents to take the tubes without help during many portions of the river. The guides recommended that at least one person take a kayak if you are taking someone older and not as physically fit because it is easier to tow them along with a kayak then connecting them to your own tube. Overall we had a blast and would do it again with just the kids and not the grandparents. Danny and Scotty were amazing and helped us at the end when we were exhausted from towing our older family member with us.

SO. MUCH. FUN. We did the Water to Wine tour and loved every second of it. The kayak/float was the perfect length and the wine tasting after the perfect ending. I would 100% do this again!

Portrait mode is a must on this adventure!

See all

Loads of slow drifting fun. I only wish they went with as I was not sure which fork to take. And there were lots of forks. All good.

We had a fantastic time enjoying the cool water of the Verde River on a hot Arizona day.
