Top Phoenix Float Trips

Family friendly rafting tour. Good for all ages. We were a party of 7 ranging 75 to 16 years old in age. Great beginner rafting adventure. A little paddling exercise is required but manageable.

Took a 2-2.5 hour rafting tour down the lower Salt River and had Lindsey as our guide. He was phenomenal and full of information about the area. Pointed out lots of wildlife and plants and gave us so much knowledge on it all—it was fantastic! Highly recommended!

The pick up van was on time/early so there was no wait at the pick up point. From there we rode to the landing point on the river where we met our guide Will and got a safety brief. The river was absolutely beautiful and Will talked about the history of the river and pointed out animals and the plant life around the river. We were able to cool off for a quick swim (note:ensure you actually have your life vest on tightly, my family is still laughing about it). We seen wild horses and played at the beach and in the end we were picked up and taken back to our car. Great time and might give the kayaks a try next time

It was great trip very relaxing our guide were great Lindsey & Mark Brown they were very helpful and great tour guides

Beautiful location. More strenuous than the description suggested, with more rowing required. Water level was low and we got stuck at one point, and at another we hit a rock and my brother fell out of the raft. Guide was knowledgeable and skilled.Cool Destinations did not communicate my request to Cliff Creek Outfitters that we wanted to be put in with another group. When I actually identified the tour provider and called them directly, I had lost the opportunity to cancel our private tour and paid for four people when there were only two of us. This was Cool Destinations’s problem, not the operators of the activity and I am less than pleased about it. If you have less than four people, call Cliff Creek Outfitters directly to schedule.

Super easy, traveled with husband and three boys (10,8,5). Few rapids to get exciting, not too long and not too short.

Lindsey and his partner were great. His amount of knowledge regarding the river and surrounding area made for fantastic day.

The rafting experience was pleasant and the guide (Lindsay) was extremely well versed in the ecology and history of the area, which he shared with our group throughout the rafting experience. The driver and guide were both engaging from the pickup to the launch point, and pull out to return. I would highly recommend to anyone looking for an enjoyable and informative river experience.

We had a great time floating down the salt river. Our guide did an awesome job answering all of our questions and what we were seeing and the local area. Would do again.

We had a group of 8 (4 adults and 4 kids), and our river rafting trip was an amazing experience from start to finish. Our guide, Owen, was fantastic—full of local knowledge and great with the kids. He had them out of their shells in no time, joking around, having fun, and even helping polish off the snacks!The scenery was incredible, and spotting a wild horse along the way was a highlight we won’t forget. The trip itself was very easygoing with minimal paddling required, which made it perfect for all ages—our 73-year-old mom had a great time too.Highly recommend for families or anyone looking for a fun, scenic, and relaxed adventure!

Gentle float - great for seniors. Easy access. . Guides were patient and supportive. Great experience.

We did it with our kids ages 11 and 13 and it was wonderful even with rainy conditions they provided us with ponchos and it was absolutely amazing

Our guide, Owen, was exceptional. He elevated the Salt River rafting trip by sharing his deep knowledge of the local ecology and history, turning the journey into a highly engaging and educational experience. We arrived with no expectations and left with incredible memories, thanks entirely to Owen's expertise. I strongly recommend this trip for anyone seeking adventure combined with unique insights into Arizona's wilderness.

Me and my party participated in the river rafting attraction, which was a great attraction with a couple kinks. To start, Cliff Creek Outfitters provides life vests to all people on the raft, and has safety trained guides. Our guide was an amazingly friendly and hilarious guy, who made sure that we were safe, informed, and comfortable during the entire attraction. The raft is stocked with water and food for the guests, and paddles to control the raft. On the raft, you get to see different wildlife, rock formations, and experience the overall peace of the lake. The only negative of the trip is how much the attraction's enjoyment is dependent on the weather. If the weather is too hot, the raft can get hot, along with the people on it. The wind can make it hard to steer/accelerate. Overall, a great thing to do with your loved ones in Arizona.

Wonderful calm float down the salt river with plenty of great landscape and wildlife viewing including horses and even some cattle. Our guides Leslie and David were professional and knowledgeable, providing insight into the local desert area. The van picked us up at designated location and we got to the launch site quickly. Leslie and David hustled and equipment was unloaded and prepared quickly. We were on our way without any unnecessary delay. I appreciate their focus on safety by addressing medical/water safety concerns. The raft and equipment were in excellent condition. Our guide David was a pro navigating the river and his numerous years of experience in rafting showed. He was very familiar with the lower salt river and would tell us what to expect at certain points along the way. This was a great float trip and I would highly recommend this group- professional, safe, and friendly! Our family consisted of age ranges from mid 40s to mid 70s.

We loved the trip. The staffers perfect, knowledgeable, created a great experience for us. It was a beautiful afternoon.
