Lots of fun and refreshing too! Outdoor Adventures feels like one of those places where people love what they do and they share that joy with their customers. We were a small group with two of us, our teenage daughter and another couple celebrating an anniversary. It was our first time kayaking on a river and the couple's first time doing anything in a kayak. Our three guides gave safety tips at the start, scouted the river ahead for us, took pictures along the way and made sure we didn't get into too much trouble. I only had to be rescued from the reeds once, lol! We had a nice break half-way through the 3 mile trip where we got to land the boats, wade in the river and admire the gorgeous monsoon thunderheads. The previous day's rain had made the water unusually high and very muddy but it was so much fun, like riding down a milk chocolate river. Some of the group even started singing the Willy Wonka theme song! Overall a great experience and one I'd do again. Thanks, OAC!
Family fun with kids

We had a great time, but there were too many of us in the group. It was hard to paddle anywhere with so many kayaks in our group.

We had our 15 year old nephew visiting....decided to get out of the heat and have a different experience. My husband normally is not a fan of group activities however, he had a blast. This was his first Kayak experience; was a great day for us all. Craig our guide was awesome. Will do it again. Thank you for a great day
Great

The guides Bobby and Dylan were wonderful. They knew the area well and gave us some history on it. Very patient and kind. It was a little longer than I would have liked it, bit overall I would do it again.
Fun, exciting, and safe

We had the best time on this tour! Going to the desert in July seemed poor choice because of the heat but we were very comfortable on the river! Walt and Blaine are amazing

We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
