Sedona Adventure Tours Rock Hop and Swirl – River Tour

A combination tour featuring Sedona Hiking with the famous Water to Wine Verde River Tour.

The Rock Hop and Swirl – River Tour combines breathtaking Sedona Hiking in the morning followed by an afternoon of Ducky Kayaking on the Verde River and wine tasting.

The Rock Hop and Swirl – River Tour starts with the Thunder Mountain Hike. Thunder Mountain is the second tallest mountain in Sedona reaching an elevation of 6,900 feet. Sedona Adventures Tour’s knowledgeable guides take you along Thunder Mountains base (no climbing) where you can see the beautiful white Kaibab Limestone and red sandstone layers formed millions of years ago. As you hike along the base of towering Thunder Mountain you will see Chimney Rock, Ship Rock, Steamboat Rock and famous Coffee Pot Rock. Your knowledgeable guide will share the history, geology and mystical traditions of Sedona’s powerful Vortex energies. The Thunder Mountain Hike is a mellow hike which is approximately two miles long. The hike will include plenty of photo opportunities.

After the Thunder Mountain Hike, The Rock Hop and Swirl – River Tour will break for lunch for about 1.5 hours. You are on your own for lunch, after which you will meet us at the Alcantra Winery at 12:45 for the river trip and wine tasting portions of this wonderful all-day adventure. We will transport you upriver from the Alcantra Winery to the launch point for your river trip.

The river tour is a one hour float trip down the Verde River in Sedona Adventure Company’s safe and stable Ducky Kayaks. During the guided trip down the river you will enjoy the abundant wildlife and magnificent scenery along the river’s lush banks. This section of the river offers small chutes and wee drops making your river experience fun and exciting.

Your float trip ends back at the Alcantara Winery & Vineyard for wine tasting in a Tuscan style farmhouse. The Alcantara Winery & Vineyard is a favorite on the Verde Valley Wine Trial and offers award winning wines with knowledgeable sommeliers to further enhance your wine tasting experience.
