The day before our tour, Julia called to let us know strong headwinds were expected and asked if we wanted to adjust our time. We already had a different morning tour scheduled, and they were incredibly accommodating with our plans. At the launch site, we met our guide Logan, and we were lucky that it was just our family of four on this tour. Husband and I wore aqua shoes and my daughters opted to wear their Birkenstock sandals and go barefoot, which was fine if you're okay with getting red mud on them. Logan was friendly, patient, and extremely knowledgeable. I was a bit nervous since I'm a beginner kayaker, but he let us move at our own pace. It ended up being a great workout while still feeling peaceful and relaxing. The scenery was absolutely stunning. The canyon was quiet, beautiful, and not crowded at all. We paddled across Lake Powell and into the canyon, and the cool lake water felt amazing in the warm end-of-March weather (mid-80s). They provided life jackets, offered bottled water, and Logan even took photos of us both on the water and at the end of the canyon, which we really appreciated. He also shared helpful paddling tips along the way. The entire tour lasted about 2.5-3 hours and was a perfect mix of adventure and relaxation. Highly recommend for families and beginners looking for a scenic and well-guided kayaking experience!

Our group completed the kayak and hike which were very much worth it! We needed slight accommodations and Sid and John were reassuring and supportive for both my mom and I. This tour is really for everyone and I can't recommend this tour company and John enough. Because we traveled during off season, we had the entire lake and trail to ourselves. John left much time for us to take cool pictures and was a wealth of knowledge. He made sure to engage with each person in the group and was successful in getting the more shy individuals to step out of their comfort zones. John and Sid (the other employee) made this tour worth it. They provided awesome recommendations for things in the area and also future outdoor related activities in the U.S. Be sure to pack enough water. Remember you are in a kayak and your items will likely get soaked. Luckily they provide one water proof bag per kayak which can hold your phone and camera. If you feel the need to pack more, I recommend that you bring your own waterproof back pack. I opted to go barefoot in the kayak and wear shoes on the hike. You will have to walk through water to get on and off of the boat. Do not let your size and fitness level deter you from this tour. The team is incredibly accommodating and reassuring, making this the perfect tour for all. Highly recommend this tour and either Sid or John!

They coordinated all the transportation and ticket purchasing for us; literally all we needed to do was wait at the hotel for pick up and follow them to where we needed to start the tour. It made the whole experience seamless for us. They also shared enriching stories about Navajo nation and the community during the van rides. Provided us with water and snacks, and took us to McDonald's so we could pick up and eat some lunch in between the two tours. Absolutely would recommend!

We had no idea what we were getting into, but they assured us and told us everything we needed to know to feel confident that we'd be able to make the trip there and back. They make the process so easy every step of the way. This experience is a MUST for anyone interested in nature. My daughter and I did this together and I will never forget it. It took teamwork, communication, a sense of adventure, and a willingness to go with the flow--all things that add up to some serious bonding. We'll cherish this experience for the rest of our lives!

I'll say the customer service at the shop was amazing; REALLY nice girls. We asked if we could take…read moreour boards there. She said yes but the benefit of using them was they carried the boards down and up a steep hill. We were there on Saturday April 25th. So we rented two paddle boards and she warned us about the winds. It was like $155. She was nice so we went for it. We get to the site and are waiting around. They haven't even taken the boards off the truck, but we were fine waiting. Layla finally made it up the HILL and had 2 boards taken off the truck and laid on the ground. I asked if any of the MANY men who were there and carrying kayaks down, was going to carry them down. She said no, you carry them. And that hill was STEEP. I figured meh, okay. I was annoyed since we were told they'd be ready for us at the bottom. Layla carried my paddle. Once I saw the hill, I was even more annoyed but I already paid $155 plus $30 entry to the lake. When we got to the bottom, she mentioned when we got back I had to carry it back up. I said I'm not doing that. lol. She held my leash so I could climb on my board. Not an easy task where we were. The paddle boarding was rough but we knew that, the girls at the office warned us. 5 miles later we returned. I STRUGGLED getting off the board and trying to haul it up by myself, my body was shaking and I was visibly exhausted. A young man who worked for this place, WATCHED me struggle. Asked how it was, I said it sucked. He mentioned me carrying the board up that steep hill, while I was shaking from exhaustion and out of breath, and I said "I'm not doing that" and he replied with "why is it heavy?" I did carry my life jacket and paddle...but after that comment I REALLY didn't want to. Layla gave me a water at the top and said to take a breath, I was breathing very heavy. I'd say don't rent paddle boards. You will have to carry them up and down the hill and will get no assistance getting off the board either. But they did carry the kayaks and help those people who also paid like we did, in and out of the kayaks. So maybe rent those and not the paddle boards.

He informed us that the boat would be delivered by 9:00 a.m., so we left for the marina. Unfortunately, the delivery driver, Ellory, arrived about 20 minutes late. While both Elijah and Ellory were courteous and pleasant to work with, we were extremely disappointed with the condition of the boat. The boat appeared very old and poorly maintained. The speedometer only worked intermittently, the steering wheel was sticky, and the steering alignment was noticeably off. Based on the condition of the boat, it did not meet our expectations. Although the staff members we interacted with were kind and professional, the quality and maintenance of the boat were disappointing. In the future, I would recommend inspecting the boat in person before heading to the marina.

It's actually more like a big sand cove rather than a true "arch", but if you get up to the back wall inside and turn your camera to wide lens, you can see why it is actually a large/wide arch. There's a lot of sand on the walk up here which is also a decent hill, it only takes a few minutes but don't discount how tired you might get in the hot sun walking through sand -- if you have mobility issues it may be challenging. But once you get to the end, you can get a nice photo and head back the way you came. I appreciate that they put a little sign by it describing the place, including that "Biidi" means "The Arch" in the Navajo language. It's nice that it's remained free to visit as well, particularly because it's a really small place, but it is unique. I wouldn't even call this hike because it's so short, so even if you're tired, if you're passing Page, AZ I'd recommend a quick stop here!

This review is for the Willis Creek Slot Canyon Trail. I've heard of them but never been to one,…read moreand we decided to stop here on the way home to our rental. To get to the trail head, you have to drive in on an unpaved five or so mile road which is scary at times. Make sure you have clearance for your car like the sign says before coming. Our Toyota 4Runner made it through without any problems. After what seems like an eternity because you can't go fast, we got to the head. There's a sign-in book for names, where you're from, and if you're a day or evening/overnight group. Now off to the Slot Canyon! This trail is marked as easy. It's mostly gravel rocks and little steps. My son the adventurous one wanted and did make his own excursion from what others surely have done before. Since it was late afternoon, we decided on a half hour in and then a turn around. The major slot canyon is pretty close to the start of the trail, and it's rather epic. The rocks are so smooth and it can be peaceful in there. I believe because of the remoteness of the canyon, it never seems to be crowded. I would recommend honking shoes, not sneakers, and appropriate clothing for the sun that will bear down on you. Bring lots of water. Watch out for the horse poop! If we weren't so exhausted after a long day, we probably would have hiked along the trail much longer than a half hour, but we definitely got the flavor we were looking for. Have you ever been to an amusement park like Disney where they create mountains and rocks? I can say I've been to the real deal and it's much better.
