Excellent experience! We were kayaking on the lower salt river and had a blast. A few rapids and some low hanging branches to watch out for but overall a great experience!

Thank you Laura for the 5 stars and great review! We try our best to help keep up with wild branches please let us know where they are specifically so we can get anything we missed out of the way. Hope to see you again here soon!

The scenery was beautiful, the cliffs and rock formations very impressive. The river was just right for my husband and me. At age 70 and 72, it was our first time paddling our own kayak through rapids… so what they were just Class 1! I’m claiming this! The trip down the river was way shorter than advertised. One and a half hours, not 2 - 2 &1/2. We would have liked another hour, at least. And, as Saguaro Lake Ranch says “no experience necessary,” I believe they should provide two guides—one in front and one in back. Two in our party of 16 flipped their kayaks and needed help in righting them and getting back in.
