Calling all winter sports enthusiasts and those brave enough to take on a whitewater and cold weather combo. This 2 to 3-hour river run down the Verde River’s Class I and II rapids is sure to get your blood pumping!
Meet up with your expert guide, who will get you outfitted for your chilly excursion in a wetsuit, booties, and gloves. Utilize the on-site lockers, changing rooms, and facilities before taking a quick shuttle ride to the launch spot. Listen up for a brief safety talk to get the ins and outs of paddling your way over 3 miles of winter whitewater with the assistance of your very capable and experienced guides.
Then it’s time to hop aboard the high-quality inflatable kayaks and start paddling. Dip your oar in the water and feel yourself glide smoothly across the surface. Navigate your way through splashing waves, and as you reach calmer waters, take a moment to soak up the gorgeous and historic landscapes of this part of Arizona. Then it’s shivering high-fives all around when you reach your take-out destination and head back to the boathouse.
Whether you’re trembling from the adrenaline or the cold, you’ll have an amazing time and great stories to tell after this amazing Polar Bear Kayak Float Trip!
