We've done some other kayaking adventures through another company and I can tell you that the Clarkdale Kayak Co is our new favorite! The entire process was seamless and just an overall blast! We hit quite a few rapids which made this adventure even more fun! We will definitely be back fir another self guided tour! Highly recommend Clarkdale Kayak Co!
