Top Claypool Boat Tours

Four friends and I had a great time navigating the beautiful Salt River with the help of our trusty guide. It was a supremely memorable day and was worth it even with the long drive from Tucson.

Our guide Sammy was great. We were a little late in the season so water levels were on the low side however it was still a thrilling experience and fantastic scenery. Would highly reccomend.

We had the most awesome rafting experience today. Our rafting guide was Sam and she was very well versed on the area, the customs of the tribes and was able to answer any question asked about the river. Before leaving she made sure everyone understood the safety rules, hand and verbal signals and the method to get on and off the raft safely. We went through some wild rapids and enjoyed every minute. I hope if you go, you get Sam, Toby and Kenny for your crew.

Breathtaking in nothing but the best ways, our Guide Jessie was wonderful! Very knowledgeable and obviously loves his job. A very wholesome soul feeding experience all around.

This was an incredible trip. Exciting rapids, beautiful canyons and landscape, different ecosystems in one trip. Our guides were outstanding. Ellis was knowledgeable in the local vegetation, animals, and history of the area. We even saw 3 bald eagles! I camped like a queen. Full cooked fancy meals like chicken fajitas, steak, french toast, eggs and more. The whole crew, Ellis, Bible, Grant, and Sloan were phenomenal. Their ability to pack everything expertly and raft us and our gear contributed to a superb trip. They took care of every need and then some.I would highly recommend Salt River Rafting! I would recommend the 5 day wilderness trip instead of the 3 day as you have more time to explore and enjoy the area.

Super fun trip, some fun rapids and Sam was a great guide! He made it a point to do some fun trips to keep the teenagers in our group engaged and entertained.

Well organized, fun positive guides, beautiful location. We had a great time and so did teenagers. Perfect half day trip.

What a great and fun experience. My kids, 12 and 13 yrs old, loved it too. Our guide Jake was awesome. We'll definitely be back for more.

It was an amazing day on the Salt River. Our guide Sam Grey was Fantastic! She knew the river so well and placed us exactly where we needed to be for maximum safety and fun. We've made memories with our family that will last lifetime.

Our guide was Rob and he was very knowledgeable and personable. It was my kids and my first time white water rafting and he was patient and mad the experience so much fun.

Trip was fun, and Sammy was a great guide! Only suggestion is to not have us print and bring Apache nation waiver, since we do it at arrival. For those who don't have a printer, it was extra steps to print it, and then it wasn't needed. Thanks!

We had a great trip. Everyone one was kind and helpful. They got us into the appropriate gear. Our guide Sonny was very pleasant and knowledgable about the river, the surrounding geology and the native plants. I do not think things could have gone better. Thank you.

Definitely would do it again ! Rapids were pretty good and the views were amazing.! Our guide Lauren was amazing ! Very knowledgeable and helpful and made our experience super fun!

The six of us on our boat all live in Scottsdale. This was our unique way to celebrate our sons high school graduation with friends- we filled our boat with teens and parents. Our guide, Devon, was terrific, and it felt like a private tour of this beautiful desert canyon. She took us through the class 3 rapids with skill. Although I had expected rapids the entire trip, I was happy that there also were mellow stretches to enjoy the beautiful desert and rocky cliffs. Seeing cacti clinging to bare rock high above us was very cool. We saw a cardinal while eating lunch and watched blue herons fly near the river. We had a hot lunch, fajitas and chips and fruit, crackers and peanut butter and ended with a cookie. Weather was great! If you want to get wet, best seat is the front of the boat, but none of us were spared entirely. Fairly priced too. These guides worked hard all day-- from outfitting us with our wetsuits(thank goodness we had those!) and gear, teaching us the ropes, guiding the trip, making lunch, loading and unloading the boats and paddles and dry bags, and being prepared for mishaps(which did not occur). Great day!

(To be read in a New Jersey accent) Nathaniel was an amazing tour guide! He navigated us amazingly through the vortexes and taught us all about the Tammie’s and Eddie’s. You rock!

Great trip! Water was high and fast and class 3 rapids were exciting!Our guide Sam Cooke was excellent. We heard about the trip from Richard, guide, we met in Durango last year!
