About Sedona Adventure Tours
Sedona Adventure Tours, operating under the Verde Adventures brand, is one of the most established river-based outfitters in the Sedona and Verde Valley region of northern Arizona. Based in Cottonwood just 20 minutes southwest of Sedona, the company has spent years developing a diverse portfolio of guided excursions centred around the Wild and Scenic Verde River — one of only a handful of designated Wild and Scenic Rivers in the state. Their proximity to the river and deep local knowledge make them a top pick for visitors looking to experience Red Rock Country from the water rather than the trail.
Their signature offering is the Water to Wine tour, which pairs an inflatable kayak paddle down a scenic stretch of the Verde with a wine tasting at Alcantara Vineyards. Beyond that flagship experience, they run standalone inflatable kayak trips suitable for all skill levels, guided tubing floats, creek walks through the riparian canyon, and combination packages that bundle river time with vineyard visits or local brewery stops. Seasonal options include fall foliage paddles, winter bald eagle viewing floats, and spring wildflower excursions, keeping the calendar busy year-round.
What distinguishes Sedona Adventure Tours from other Verde Valley outfitters is their creative approach to combining outdoor recreation with regional food and drink culture. The Water to Wine concept has become one of the most popular bookings in the Verde Valley, and their guides are trained naturalists who can identify the birds, fish, and plant species encountered along the river corridor. For visitors who want a relaxed yet immersive outdoor experience that goes beyond a standard kayak rental, Sedona Adventure Tours delivers a uniquely Arizonan adventure.
