Super Amazing 🤩
We received a warm welcome from Saro our wonderful host, me and my friends were in super ease with our transfers. The rafting guide was amazing and instructed us well. The experience was excellent and the view was beyond serene. The horse riding 🏇 was fun and exciting and we were just amazed by the whole experience. We are grateful and are taking back a ton of happy memories.

Host was not properly prepared
This could have been a 5 star review, had our host Saro been better prepared for the camping trip. We were a group of 5: two women and 3 kids ages 14, 12, and 10. We are experienced hikers and campers. Things we loved on the trip: - our gregarious driver Robert - GORGEOUS canyon with intoxicating wild flowers - very kind welcoming people all around from Saro, to the hotel host who fed us lunch to the rafting crew. - great traditional Armenian food - good quality tents and sleeping bags - beautiful horses - (mostly) fun rafting experience on the river Saro's horses are very mild and easy to ride. I would, however, recommend avoiding riding through the village. We encountered an aggressive neighbor stallion on our way back from our lovely ride in the fields, and he spooked our horses. It was also unfortunate that Saro double booked himself on Day 1 of the trip, and did have the time to set up camp before dark and bring all the necessary (in my opinion) supplies such as flashlights, cups, and whistles to ward off the wildlife which so plentiful in Armenia mountains (we heard a pack of wolves howling in the night!). The second very unfortunate part happened on the rafting trip. Saro did not follow the directions of our raft captain, and the two got into three very intense verbal arguments while we were floating on the mountain river. Not the safest of places to get into an argument. Also, it was unfortunate that Saro took off his gear to swim in the river despite strong objections from everyone. This set a bad example for my children. It is my hope that in the future Saro will be more careful about his bookings, and either avoid getting on the raft or follow the instructor to make the trip enjoyable for everyone.
Response from the operator: First, regarding wildlife. You can't hear any sound of wolves or find even any trace of a wolf because there is no wolf in that area, and the sounds are from wild dogs which are very small in our region and can not be any harm to humans. On the other hand, when we offer camping we take care of all safety measures and take responsibility for health and safety. Regarding the rafting tour. There are three different rafting companies operating on the Debed River and that was the first time we cooperated with the newly opened company. Personally, I do not participate in rafting tours as a norm. That time I participated only because there were three kids in the group and the adults were not experienced rafters. I have swum in the Debed River since my early childhood and I know that I am a good swimmer. It is right, I jumped into the water where the flow of the river calmed down because the weather was very hot and we had done more than a 2-hour hike. But the most intense dispute broke out between me and the rafting guide when neither you nor the guide accepted my so many requests not to jump from the broken bridge with the kids. I was really surprised by such behavior. I hope we accept families who pay more attention to the safety of their kids from now on.

Why this scores 61
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Lori Canyon Vacations: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Yerevan.
How much does Lori Canyon Vacations cost?
+
Prices start at $139 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Yerevan usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Lori Canyon Vacations take?
+
Plan for about 48 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 Yerevan is not rushed.
Is Lori Canyon Vacations worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Yerevan, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Lori Canyon Vacations?
+
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 Lori Canyon Vacations suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Lori Canyon Vacations?
+
Around 1 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 Yerevan 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 Yerevan and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Lori Canyon Vacations 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 Yerevan 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 Yerevan?
+
On Outty we rank every Yerevan experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Group Tour: Lake Sevan (Sevanavank), Dilijan (Goshavank, Haghartsin), Group Tour: Khor Virap, Garni temple, Geghard, Lavash baking, Group Tour: Garni pagan temple, Geghard monastery, Lake Sevan, Sevanavank. 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 Yerevan?
+
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 Yerevan?
+
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.
What is included in Lori Canyon Vacations?
+
Included: Private transportation; In-vehicle air conditioning; Rafting, horse riding, hiking tours; Meals; and Guide service. Not included: airfare; and travel insurance. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Lori Canyon Vacations include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 374 listed pickup locations in and around Yerevan. Be ready about 180 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is Lori Canyon Vacations offered in?
+
It is offered in Russian and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Lori Canyon Vacations?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Lori Canyon Vacations wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
What happens to Lori Canyon Vacations if the weather is bad?
+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
