Lower Salt River Kayaking Tour
$140
Salt River kayaking tours are the perfect way to cool off on a warm day in Arizona’s desert. Most travelers to the area are surprised to find kayaking in Arizona, but this beautiful stretch of river is just a short drive from Phoenix. Spend a relaxing morning paddling along lush green riverbanks and towering red cliffs, keep alert for sightings of wild horses and bald eagles. Guided river kayak tours are scheduled to avoid crowds and take advantage of all the river has to offer, including refreshingly cool swimming and a unique perspective on the desert. We kayak every section of the river from Saguaro Lake to Granite Reef, the chosen section varies day to day depending on the river’s water level.
The kayak tour gave us phenomenal views of the river and the surrounding Indian reservation and mountain landscape. We had such a great time and if we ever make it back to this area, we will definitely return for another tour!
