Canyoneering in the tanque verde - This is a short hike followed by some scrambling and at least 4 nice rappels down a beautiful gorge with pristine waterfalls. The guides are excellent. Highly recommend!

Fun canyoneering experience! - My husband and I had a great time rappelling in Tanque Verde canyon with Dylan! It was our first time canyoneering and we loved it. Dylan was such a fun guide and made us feel very safe while dangling from the edge of the canyon. Plus a beautiful hike through the canyon with waterfalls and beautiful rocks. Definitely recommend this for a fun adventure day in Tucson!

10 out 10- highly recommend! - TJ was a fantastic guide! I’d never climbed outside before but he was super encouraging and helpful. Despite the nerves, everything felt super safe and I could tell he knew what he was doing. The views were incredible, would absolutely do again!

Highlight of our trip! - This excursion was definitely the highlight of our spring break trip. JC was very knowledgable and patient. Our 11 year old daughter was pretty nervous and he made every effort to make her feel safe. The scenery was beautiful and the rappelling was a real adrenaline rush. I highly recommend this trip!

Super cool canyoneering... - Super cool canyoneering experience with Javan our guide. Not sure I really knew what we were getting ourselves into but we spent 1/2 day with Javan who was encouraging, kind and super safety focused as we traversed the Tanque Verde Canyon. We did 3 repels that were increasingly higher and the hike was about 4 miles in a gorgeous saguaro-filled canyon. I would highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting to be outdoors, do something to push themselves a bit and see gorgeous scenery. I wish I had sneakers that griped better...but all in all it was a great morning.

So much fun … climb and canyoning - We had an excellent two days nothing climbing at mt lemon and canyoning at tangue verde. TJ was our guide and he texted with Anita answering all of her questions. He was a great guide (he laughed at all of my bad dad jokes). We felt really comfortable and he chose areas and routes that were appropriate for all.

Canyoneering - Our guide, Jake, was terrific. Very knowledgeable and gave us an extraordinary experience. Wish this was actually at Mt Lemmon but Tanque Verde was beautiful!

Great time! Highly recommend! - This was a fantastic experience! The waterfalls weren’t running, but it’s still a really cool area to explore. Javen is a wonderful guide- patient & thorough. I had never rappelled before and he expertly walked me through it. Definitely outside my comfort zone, but I had a lot of fun and made some great memories. I highly recommend this for anyone who wants to give canyoning a try.
