We have a 48-hour cancellation window. If you need to cancel within that time frame, we can't offer refunds unless the weather forces us to withdraw completely. Remember there’s a 3% service fee for transactions made within those 48 hours. We still run and operate in the rain/snow. You can cancel for weather reasons as long as it's 48 hours in advance, and we may also do so if we feel it’s necessary. To cancel your booking, shoot us an email at info@kayakthecolorado.com. Be sure to include your booking name, backhaul time, and any other details that might help us out. Thanks!

The best way to experience Horseshoe Bend is by taking advantage of our backhaul taxi service. At Kayak the Colorado, we provide fast, reliable boats and friendly, knowledgeable captains who will help you get upstream above Horseshoe Bend. From there, you can paddle back downstream to your car at the Lee's Ferry Boat Ramp. Just a heads up—there are no roads upstream and no paddling allowed downstream from Lee's Ferry without a permit. Lee's Ferry is where the Grand Canyon begins, and if you're planning a private trip lasting 12 to 30 days, you’ll need a permit from the Grand Canyon National Park.
Got your own kayak? No problem! We’ll backhaul you and your kayak upstream at no extra charge.
