What To Expect

Salt River

The best-known segment of the river (formally the Lower Salt River) is located about 40 minutes from downtown Phoenix in Mesa, where visitors and locals go to explore the beautiful Sonoran Desert landscape.

Tonto National Forest

The Lower Salt River is located within the Tonto National Forest. The Tonto National forest is home to over 400 vertebrate species and has a rich history of several prehistoric Indian groups who hunted and gathered along the Salt and Verde River.

Verde River

The Verde River begins just southwest of Flagstaff, AZ and continues 195 miles through private, federal, state, and tribal land before reaching its confluence with the Salt River.

We can’t say enough about how friendly and accommodating the staff was. Even though they didn’t have rafting schedule for the day we wanted they rearranged their schedule to fit us in. Daniel and Mike were our guides. They made our experience even better with their knowledge and humor. As a bonus, towards the end of our adventure we were privileged to see a herd of wild horses grazing on river grass.

It was fabulous and I would give 5 stars but we really wanted to see the horses and unfortunately they never showed themselves .. but of course I know that can’t be controlled haha dang wild horses. Great time anyway and beautiful views. Our guide did a great job as well! Would absolutely recommend!

My wife and I came in from Pittsburgh, the river float was awesome. Everything went smooth. Our guide was friendly, talkative, informative, and fun. We will do it again when we come back for sure.
