Took the 1pm Canyon Adventure tour which traveled on Lake Powell to Navajo and Antelope canyons. Absolutely beautiful!! Comfortable vessel and very relaxing trip. Very different feel from the Colorado... More

My boyfriend and I rented kayaks to go around the lake. Even though we didn't get too far, we still enjoyed ourselves at the lake. There are spectacular views in every direction. We had our lunch on one of the peninsulas in the sun. It was a very nice place to visit! When we come back to visit, we plan... More

We rented a small boat and explored Lake Powell in July a few years ago. WOW, what a wonderful experience! It's a very beautiful area to explore, we stopped a by a few beaches and explored on land as well. I can't wait to go back, it's one of our best boating experiences ever! More

We were thinking of renting a houseboat on the Lake - but the price was so expensive and we wanted to do other activities in the area such as Horseshoe Bend, Antelope Canyon, Hummer Slot Canyon and Colorado Float Trip - so instead we stayed at a luxury bed and breakfast called Dreamkatchers Lake Powell who actually booked all our...

We rented a houseboat on Lake Powell and can't wait to do it again. October is the perfect time because the crowds are gone but the nice weather remains. We explored canyons by day and cooked great meals and ate while watching the sun set. ( We flew into Vegas and stopped at Whole Foods on the way to Lake... More

Going boating on Lake Powell? Going sight seeing or hiking in the area? Planning on staying in Page? Whatever the case, do yourself a favor and eat before you get there and buy all the supplies you need before you get there. That's because the city of Page wants to gouge you for ANYTHING you buy in Page. They have... More

Have been going to Lake Powell for years and would rather vacation here then anywhere. It's great to take first timers here and see the expressions on their faces with awesome views around every corner. The cameras never stop snapping ! Try it you'll love it. More

We went for the sunset kayak trip on Lake Powell with Kayak Powell. We are in our late 50s and were unsure of our ability and stamina and when we called, Kat confirmed that this was a good choice for us. Her pleasant attitude and helpfulness during the booking process was reassuring. We were provided with information about appropriate dress... More
