Water Canyon Adventure

Adventure on Purpose has created a once in a lifetime adventure that has the most beautiful views and includes excitement at literally every turn. The excursion was challenging, yet so rewarding. Brian and Elijah were patient guides and fun to hang out with for the day.

This was an awesome experience with Brian, a great guide, and his assistants. I had never done repelling or swimming in Canyon Rivers but I felt totally safe with his expertise. It was a challenging course and exhausting, but really a whole lot of fun. Beautiful scenery to top it off. I highly recommend going with him on this trip.

My wife and I did Adventure On Purpose recently, and we both had an incredible experience with canyoneering. Brian and Eli were our guides and they both went above and beyond what we had expected. They were very helpful in communicating and helping to answer our questions before, during and after our trip. We got to spend the day hiking through the canyon, jumping, sliding and repelling into pools of water, and they even took and gave us all great photos of us from our trip. The water hike was beautiful and fun and they geared the numerous activities to each individual’s level of comfort and abilities. Lots of cliff jumping and fun in the mountain pools and we were super thankful to have such great guides and a great group. I would highly recommend Adventure On Purpose to anyone wanting an adventure through the mountain canyon, regardless of your experience or abilities. They will make sure that you have a memorable experience!

Adventure On Purpose in Phoenix was a great company to take my 13 year old daughter out with. Super safe and very pleasant operator's. will book with them again for sure and recommend them to all my friends. Thank you from the Loomis Family and Chasing Demons AR

Wow, it was simply amazing! They took baby steps to get you into and were very friendly! We love nature and are always looking for an adventure and they didn’t disappoint! The guides had all safety and extra supplies just in case of you forgot anything. The water was cool but the wet suits kept you nice and warm. Even if you can’t swim I recommend this adventure because the wet suits create buoyancy and are designed to make you float. The weather in the canyon was great and peaceful even though we came in the heart of summer. I came from Florida with my wife looking for some fun and something mind blowing and I never would have expected this. If you are in the area definitely try this. No, you must go! You will love it. My name is Robert and I personally recommend this adventure to everyone.

Magical experience! Bryan and his beautiful children were our guides. They were all very knowledgeable, helpful and very attentive to our group. The scenery is beyond beautiful and the adventure was a thrill. Would give this tour 10 stars if I could.

What an amazing adventure!!!! I have done this trip twice and will be back again! Brian and his son are very knowledgeable, encouraging, friendly and provide an exciting adventure. The views in the canyon are unbelievable! Brian and his son know the canyon very well, which made me feel very safe in all of the rappelling, jumping and swimming through the canyon. I highly recommend going!

I cannot begin to tell you what an amazing experience I had with this tour. I read the email that was sent and initially, I was a little apprehensive about this excursion but I decided that I will not back out because if it is adventure that I seek, this is definitely well fitted for me.
Anyway, Brian and his 'canyon kids' made.me feel at ease and never once pressured me into doing something that I wasn't comfortable with. Actually, I was quite impressed with myself. If a 7 yr old can do it and have a great time, so can I. It was an experience of a lifetime. Highly recommended. Next time, I'll be bringing some people with me.❤

Took my girlfriend and 8 year old son on this water canyon adventure. Brian and Elijah were patient and kind and it was an amazing experience for all of us.

My daughter and I were lucky enough to enjoy this family guided adventure on a perfect spring day. The air was warm but the Christopher Creek water is really cold. The truth is that we were so immersed in the excitement and challenge of the moment, that we couldn't really focus on anything but the experience itself, not the cold. Our primary advice would be to have neoprene gloves and neoprene socks (the leader has a few of these available but if you can't count on them, it's worth the investment to have these. I can't imagine how cold my hands and feet would have been without them) Also, wear shoes that can fit OVER them: either water shoes, sandals or sneakers with good boulder hopping grip. The rocks in the water are slippery and the rocks on the trail are loose, so you DO fall, but you cannot possibly sink as the wetsuits make you buoyant and the leader is so calm and patient and clear about your options that all you want to do is carry on and enjoy! Another set of tips: thick ziploc baggies or prepackaged snacks are your best bet so nothing gets wet, be sure your backpack has comfortable straps and that you have a way to reach your water bottle easily. A GREAT experience guided sensitively by an experienced outdoorsman. We would definitely go on another adventure with him if we were to find ourselves in Arizona again.

Adventures on Purpose was one of the best things I have done in my life. I can actually say that I am a new person after this experience. I found myself on this trip. I found courage and strength that I did not know existed. I am a new person, and appreciate what this company has done for me. You will never know how much this meant to me. It was life changing.

The Adventure On Purpose company goes ABOVE AND BEYOND to make your adventure special and fun. They are supportive, kind, fun and very experienced and patient. I would never ask for another guide on this trip. They are the best and this was a beautiful trip.

This was a wonderful experience to have with friends! Definitely a challenging excursion as none of us were used to any of this. The guides were very friendly, patient, and motivating to get everyone moving along together. Brian helped many of us overcome fears and hesitation to achieve what we never thought was possible. Highly recommended if you're looking for this type of excursion!

This canyon was to die for! Brian & chloe were so helpful through the whole process! Very interactive & I would definitely do this again! It was such a great Valentine's surprise for my man. He loved it!

We had a great time and worth the work. 6 hours was long and a little cold but not as hard as we expected. We are 53 but pretty good shape and done some ropes in the past which helped. Swimming fully clothed with a backpack is not for everyone but we managed fine. It's not for the faint at heart but challenging without being over the top. The guide was great and the pics and video sent was perfect afterwards.

A huge thanks to Brian, Kendall, and Elijah for this half-day adventure! My kids (17 and 14) had a blast sliding down rocks, rappelling, and hiking, and we always felt supported when trying new things. We highly recommend this excursion for the whole family!

The water canyon tour was amazing! Brian, the guide, was very knowledgeable and made sure we used safety precautions to avoid any dangerous situations. Two of his kids, Kendall and Elijah, were along for the trip and they were a great help. Rappelling in the canyons was a blast and the water was crystal clear, so everything was beautiful. The water was pretty cool, but the wetsuits (which are provided) made it manageable. There were some fun jumps and the mini "waterslides" were a lot of fun. Overall the trip in the canyon along with a little bit of hiking was a ton of fun. Highly recommend.
