    Amazing time on gorgeous water

    We had a wonderful time on the reservoir! The cost was reasonable for an adventurous tourist experience. Gorgeous water that looked tropical and was great for swimming. Get your guide to take you to the swings over the narrow part & jump in! The only criticism we had was the wait time for our guide & our equipment at arrival. That could've been more efficient - shouldn't have taken us 45 min to get on the water - but an otherwise excellent experience!

    Great Time!

    Highly recommend this place. We brought a big group of 12 with widely varying ages. Nicole and the other guide were great. Water was provided on our tour. Saw plenty of wildlife. Kids had a great time!

    Kayak/SUP Tour: Birds, Beavers, Turtles, maybe even Cliff Jumping: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for St George.

    How much does Kayak/SUP Tour: Birds, Beavers, Turtles, maybe even Cliff Jumping cost?

    +

    Prices start at $75 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in St George usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Kayak/SUP Tour: Birds, Beavers, Turtles, maybe even Cliff Jumping take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in St George is not rushed.

    Is Kayak/SUP Tour: Birds, Beavers, Turtles, maybe even Cliff Jumping worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 35 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in St George, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Kayak/SUP Tour: Birds, Beavers, Turtles, maybe even Cliff Jumping?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Kayak/SUP Tour: Birds, Beavers, Turtles, maybe even Cliff Jumping suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Kayak/SUP Tour: Birds, Beavers, Turtles, maybe even Cliff Jumping?

    +

    Around 12 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in St George can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in St George and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Kayak/SUP Tour: Birds, Beavers, Turtles, maybe even Cliff Jumping start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central St George within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in St George?

    +

    St George sits below Zion National Park: guided Zion day tours, canyoneering and slot canyon trips, Snow Canyon jeep runs, and golf and hiking through red rock desert. On Outty we rank every St George experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Greater Zion: Sand Hollow Dunes ATV Tour, Greater Zion's 4 Hour Adventure Rally, Dark Sky UTV Tour with Stargazing in Greater Zion. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit St George?

    +

    March to May and September to November. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in St George?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
