Beautiful river trip - We had an amazing time with Bill on the Verde River! He was very knowledgeable, and we felt very safe during our kayaking adventure! Definitely consider this company if you’re planning a trip up to Cottonwood.

Paddling. Paddling and more paddling. - The kayak experience was very fun and strenuous. The whole trip is about 2 hours with a lot of padding most of the time. The sights along the way are outstanding. The guide was very informative about the mining industry that took place in Jerome. The information about the plants and wildlife was also great. Thank you for a fun experience.

Get out on the water!! - Scott and Bill could not have been better hosts. This was our 30th wedding anniversary and we are 85 years old very first time kayaking what a blast. I would absolutely take another guided tour with Paddles and Pints the brewery did not disappoint. We had the flight and their nachos with beer cheese and jalapeños were great. We were surprised to find out that Bill, who by the way, pulled me out of the drink three times was taking pictures and putting them up on Facebook for friends and family to view. What a guy. If you’ve never tried kayaking, get out on the water go with Paddles and Pints

Awesome Company - Scott and Bill were perfect hosts This guided kayak trip was our first adventure trying to do something we’ve never done before. So at 85 we were successful in this endeavor and had a BLAST 💥 Bill took numerous pictures and will post them on facebook, he also was so informative about the nature and history around us. Don’t miss the opportunity to get out on the water and try something old or new, make sure you go with Paddles and Pints You receive a voucher at the end of your trip to Smelters Brewery wonderful beer and nachos. And a GREAT BIG THANK YOU to Scott, he found my wedding ring in the bottom of the boat and returned it FANTASTIC Paddles and Pints the BEST

Very enjoyable. Knowledgeable guide. - Had an amazing time. Great guide and perfect weather. Thanks to Alethia and Aaron! Would recommend. The brewery was one mile away from drop off. That was equally impressive. A+++

great time! - We had a group with various levels of ability, and it was fun for all of us. It wasn't boring for those with experience or too much for those that didn't. The guide was great and very informative as well made us feel really comfortable and safe going through each rapids. The beers at the end at Smelter brewery were the icing on the cake!!!!
