Verde River

Kayak Two Day Trip

About This Trip

Unfortunately we are not planning to raft the Verde River this season due to current closures.

For those who want to be in control of their own destiny and increase the the level of adventure, we offer inflatable kayak trips on the Verde River. They offer the best of both worlds: the maneuverability of a kayak and the stability of a raft. The smaller the boat, the bigger the waves, so in an inflatable kayak Class II rapids drench you, and Class III rapids will get your adrenaline pumping! No experience is necessary because an instructional guide goes along with the trip in their own inflatable or hard shell kayak to teach you what to do. So start planning your kayak vacation today!

Itinerary

9:30 AM
Meet at Beasley Flats in Camp Verde, Arizona at 9:30 AM.
 
Check in, sign release forms, get dressed for the river! Wetsuit and wetsuit boot rentals are highly recommended in a river kayak.
 
Shuttle to river for safety orientation and rafting instructions. Then, hit the river!
 
Tackle “Off the Wall,” “Pre-falls” and the exciting Class IV to V (depending on water levels) “Verde Falls” (often requires portaging)!
 
After the falls, float through the highly restricted “Eagle Closure” where stopping is prohibited to protect the winter nesting ground of the desert bald eagles.
 
Stop for a delicious deli-style lunch, then, head out to challenge “Bull Run,” Rock Garden,” & “Punk Rock” among others.
 
Late evening brings us to our stop for camp, with time for hiking, fishing, or just relaxing. Our guides will cook you a fantastic campfire dinner that evening, and a hearty breakfast in the morning to keep you fueled for the river!
 
Day 2 includes many more rapids, including: “Bushman,” “White Flash,” “Black Hole,” and “Child’s Play,” as well as a special stop to soak in a natural, riverside hot spring!
 
At 2:00 PM we arrive at our take out where the shuttle picks you up to return you to your car at Beasley Flats by 5:00 PM.

* Please note that all itineraries are subject to change due to river conditions.

Had an awesome experience on a jeep ride through La Plata Canyon with Jared. He was knowledgeable and a skilled driver, we were in good hands. The scenery was gorgeous and we enjoyed seeing this beautiful place. Thanks Jared!

We did the Silverton Jeep Tour Package on 9/28/26 and it was a once in a lifetime experience. Our guide, Tim, took us to picturesque landscapes while giving us knowledge of the history surrounding the mountains of Silverton, all while it was raining I should say. Plus we were able to see and experience first hand snow falling at a higher altitude. We were given ample time to shop around town before departing on the train back to Durango. Only minor thing I would critique was that the roof cover, for the 6 seats in back, was not 99.9% waterproof because their were water drops falling from the cover while it was raining but it was no biggie for us and part of the adventure to be honest (we were given waterproof blankets to cover our bodies from the beginning). PLEASE BRING LAYERS AS MENTIONED ON THEIR WEBSITE (YOU'RE GOING TO NEED THEM)!

Our tour to Mesa Verde with Ann as our guide was truly amazing! She was so knowledgeable, answered questions and gave us so much to think about regarding Mesa Verde. The lunch provided was filling and there were plenty of refreshments offered throughout the day. I highly recommend the full day tour! Visiting Cliff Palace is so worth it!
