About Cliff Creek Outfitters

  Established in 1984 in Arizona as Desert Voyagers Guided Raft Tours, Cliff Creek Outfitters has been offering quality river tours  on the Lower Salt River and nearby lakes for almost four decades. In  fact, we were the first river tour company to utilize the beautiful  Lower Salt and Verde Rivers for commercial tours. We have served close  to 200,000 guests by taking them out on our beautiful rivers and lakes and teaching them about Arizona's unique Sonoran Desert ecology.  

Many of our clients write to us later  exclaiming what a great time they had with us. Families enjoy the  information their children receive about a new and fascinating ecosystem  and are impressed by the lush, green, and vibrant riparian preserve  that surrounds them on the water. A river trip on the Lower Salt and  Lower Verde Rivers is an unforgettable event when they are guided by  Desert Voyagers and we will continue to work towards not only meeting  our clients' expectations, but exceeding them. Today, we operate as the exclusive provider of Central Arizona water-based tours for Recreational Equipment, Inc. (REI) in central Arizona.


Cliff Creek Outfitters has an ongoing priority permit with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Tonto National Forest and with the Fort McDowell Indian Community.  We are proud to say that we have a spotless safety record for over 39  years, the entirety of the existence of the tour company. We are also active members of Experience Scottsdale, Visit Mesa, and America Outdoors, the nationwide association for outfitters and guides. 


Our guides strive to inform guests about the local flora, fauna, geography,  geology, and history of the area while providing an entertaining and  challenging raft, kayak or paddleboard tour. They are trained, professional, experienced and friendly. Some of our river  guides have been with us for more than ten years. Every guide is certified in First Aid and CPR and may have  higher wilderness medicine certifications. Our guides come from many  different backgrounds that give them a unique viewpoint when interacting  with guests on and off the river. Some are ecologists, wildlife  preservationists, emergency medical technicians, firemen, survival  instructors, white water guides, teachers, fitness instructors, rock  climbers, retired military personnel, and many are college graduates,  some with master's degrees. This interesting and unique mix of people, adds enormously to the experiences our clients have on the water.
