Q&A

Q: Is there an age limit for kids on the Colorado River Float trip?

A: Yes, Arizona State Law requires that all children 8 years and younger must be in a car seat or booster seat during the trip. So if you're thinking of bringing your little ones, make sure you have the right seating for them! Kids older than 8 can join without any special requirements, though it's a family-friendly experience overall.

Q: What should we wear for the float trip? Is it chilly on the river?

A: The best bet is to wear quick-dry clothing and bring a swimsuit if you want to take a dip in the river! It can be warm during the day, but sometimes the air gets a bit chilly in the morning or late afternoon, so a light jacket or long-sleeve shirt is a good idea. Don't forget sunscreen!

Q: What's the parking situation like for the float trip?

A: Parking can vary depending on where you’re being picked up from, but if you’re staying in Sedona or Flagstaff, the tour company offers hotel pickups which makes it super easy! If you do drive, there’s usually plenty of space at the meeting point, but it’s always good to arrive early just in case.

Thinking of gifting the Colorado River Float trip!

I’m considering this full-day float trip as a gift for my parents when they visit Sedona. The idea of cruising along the Colorado River and seeing Horseshoe Bend sounds amazing! Has anyone done this? I’m curious about the lunch situation and if we’ll have enough time to explore the petroglyphs!

Anyone else excited for the Colorado River Float?

I just booked a float trip with Great Venture Tours for next month, and I can’t wait! I’ve heard the views are breathtaking, especially around Horseshoe Bend. Plus, the idea of a riverside lunch just sounds perfect. Have any tips for what to bring along?
