This was our first time canyoneering and we absolutely loved it! Bob was an excellent guide. Exceptionally skilled and made us feel comfortable stepping a little outside of our comfort zone. This is the best way to adventure out and experience the beauty that Arizona has to offer. You will not be disappointed!

Awesome experience

Ginger_R, May 2022

There were 3 of us that had never repelled. Nick made us feel very comfortable and safe since we were all afraid of heights. It was an amazing. Something to check off the bucket list.

52nd birthday adventure to remember!

Aaron was an expert guide and taught us so much during our day together. My husband and I were repelling down a cliff within 10 minutes of the adventure - it was exhilarating! The scenery was beautiful and the day of adventure was just what we were hoping for. We highly recommend Aaron and this experience!

Highlight of our AZ trip

Our canyoneering experience was epic - complete with hiking, rappelling, and climbing. Our guide, Nick, was stellar!

Canyoneering - Just do it!!!!

Best experience ever!! We really did not know what to expect and had zero experience rappelling but Nick’s knowledge, calm manner and expertise led us to 40ft cliff jumps - that I would never had expected to attempt. (Rest assured he also offered many modifications for those not as comfortable). We took a scenic Jeep ride from Scottsdale to Christopher Creek Gorge. The ride was about 1-1/2 hrs but the time went quickly since Nick shared so much info about AZ. We hiked about 20 min to the canyon -which was breathtaking! A few tips- we wore leggings & sneakers, brought a change of clothes & packed a light water resistant jacket. We were grateful for the wetsuit provided, as the water is chilly. So many laughs & memories we’ll cherish forever. This was most certainly the highlight of our trip to AZ!

Memorable adventure with my son

Outdoor adventure wrapped up all in one! Rock climbing, jumping off rocks, hiking, repelling, swimming. Great day spent with my son. Our guide Jose was terrific, made sure we were always safe. Highly recommend this adventure.

Awesome hike and rappelling

Julian_M, Mar 2021

Bob was a fantastic guide and gave us options for our experience, challenging/easier. The hike was the perfect amount of challenge and beauty. The canyon was serene and we learned a lot about the plants and animals in and around the canyon. The repelling was fun and challenging but Bob walked us through all the moves and we always felt safe. You should be fairly in shape for this activity as it was a lot of scrambling. Thoroughly enjoyable
