Take a Sedona Adventure Tour funyaking (inflatable kayak) down the majestic Verde River. Funyaking the Verde River, is a rewarding way to experience this beautiful Arizona wilderness waterway. Sedona Adventure Tours offers you the choice of guided funyaking adventures or the choice to simply rent our funyaks and create your own funyaking adventure!

The Verde River is a jewel in the desert and is the only federally designated "Wild and Scenic" river of Arizona. This majestic river runs 200 miles along three national forests and offers unlimited possibilities for kayakers and sightseers. Carving a spectacular canyon painted by nature in multiple hues of gold, reds and browns, it drops at an average rate of 20 feet per mile. The lush foliage along its banks includes Cottonwoods, Sycamores and cattails, with bright yellow flowers hugging the banks. Often spotted wildlife includes great blue heron, otter, deer and an incredible variety of bird life, which include Golden and Bald Eagles.

The well-channeled Verde River allows us to operate inflatable kayak trips all year round. The Verde River offers lots of fun, with its twisting waterways full of chutes and drops interspersed with calm floating pools. Come and experience the unparalleled beauty of boating in the desert for yourself.

What are Funyaks?


Funyaks are an inflatable kayak in design with high performance AIR cell technology. You sit suspended above the water line on an inflated floor. Inflatable kayaks are also called "funyaks" and you can take them just about anywhere; they deflate to the size of a large suitcase and can easily fit in a truck or your car. Funyaks are light, easy to navigate and unbelievably stable so no experience is necessary.
