AZ Kayaks made everything SO easy! What an incredible experience. We showed up at our scheduled time and the owner was quick to set up the kayaks securely on top of our vehicle! He suggested a great local river to kayak just 15 minutes from our pickup location!
Incredibly nice owners, flawless kayaking experience with life jackets and paddles provided. Will definitely be back on our next trip to the Valley!

AZ Kayaks were exactly what I needed for a quick day trip to the water! They are friendly, communicative, and even helped us get our pass for the lake. If you’re looking for an easy and stress free way to rent a kayak, they are definitely your team. I will be using them again.
Had a wonderful experience renting kayaks here! They were super friendly, took special care not to damage our moon-roof when loading up and even had Tonto day passes for sale.
We also were able to drop them off before our reservation time which was super convenient. I definitely will be renting from them again!

It was extremely easy to rent from AZ Kayaks. They were super friendly, helped us load our kayaks, and made sure we were set to enjoy our time on the Salt River.
The kayaks were really nice. They were easy to get in and out of the water. The owners were really friendly, and showed us exactly where the entry and exit points are on Google Maps.
Kayaking down the Salt River was beautiful. We saw the wild horses, and had fun going down the rapids. 10 out of 10 would do again!
