Hybrid SUP Tour on the Verde River

After checking in, you'll be fitted for life vests, finish any necessary paperwork and enjoy a short, scenic ride to the river. During the ride, your driver will point out local sites and overview of the river experience is shared. Once at the riverside, you'll be given a short safety speech and instruction on entering and exiting the water and paddling technique.

The Verde River itself offers a fun little beginner drop to put your newly acquired skills to the test right out of the practice area. You will proceed down river on the first half of the trip approximately 1.5 miles to a point called Slag Pond. Be on the lookout for many birds and other wildlife!

In the second half of the paddle, you'll you will either explore a marshy pond area or practice yoga with your instructor depending on your interests. You'll have lots of opportunity to practice your SUP paddling skills and an opportunity to swim. Many species of birds, turtles, river otters and other animals are often spotted.

Finally, at the take out at Slag RAP, you will be returned to the starting location or your hotel where they can change, shower, or otherwise prepare for the rest of their day.
