Horseshoe Bend Kayak Tour with Ancient Petroglyph Viewing

Begin your adventure at Lee’s Ferry, where you’ll meet your guide and board a Backhaul boat with your kayak. Sit back and enjoy the scenic ride upriver toward Horseshoe Bend, taking in the dramatic Colorado River scenery along the way.

Launch your kayak and paddle through the heart of Horseshoe Bend, surrounded by towering sandstone cliffs rising dramatically from the Colorado River. Experience this iconic landmark from the water, with a perspective you simply can’t get from the overlook above.

Hike into Waterholes Canyon and discover striking sandstone formations sculpted by wind and water. Follow the canyon’s rugged landscape for a closer look at its dramatic walls, curves, and natural textures.

Paddle through the dramatic landscapes of Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and keep watch for wildlife along the riverbanks and canyon walls. You may spot wild horses, Desert Bighorn Sheep, birds of prey, or even the rare California Condor soaring overhead.
