Our kayaks are two-person inflatable kayaks that are perfect for the beginner or advanced paddler. Groups will be split into teams and loaded onto kayaks with Guides nearby, then they will launch down the river.

Adventure Quest
A recession-priced event including a raft or kayak tour, plus a fast-paced race to build a river-worthy craft at the end. more..
A downturn in the economy shouldn't mean that your office dynamics have to suffer! Your employees deserve a break and a reward for their hard work and loyalty even more right now and an Adventure Quest is the perfect way to do that. The Desert Voyagers Adventure Quest was created with the explicit purpose of offering a quality river float (you choose: rafts or kayaks) with a complete teambuilding event for less than the cost of most other group events in Arizona. Teams will boat down the beautiful Lower Salt River, enjoying the scenery and wildlife of the Sonoran Desert. After the tour, teams will race to rotate through equipment stations where they will answer trivia questions to collect various gear to build a kayak-based watercraft. The faster the teams answer the questions correctly, the better the equipment they'll receive. Finally teams will race the river in their boats and the best time will win! This is a funfilled, competitive and wet event that's great for groups of all sizes and dynamics!

Voyage for Lost Treasure
A scenario-based event where teams must work their way through a scavenger hunt for lost treasure while rafting down the river. more..
Here's the scenario: The mythical Ka-Ha-Teni Indians have perished into the sands of Sonoran Desert history but their legendary treasure still lives. Groups will be split into teams and loaded onto rafts armed with paddles, a leather treasure map, their first hint in a chain of scavenger hunt style clues and a good dose of resolute determination. If their will is strong enough and they keep their wits about them, they may make it to the hidden treasure. If not the harsh desert may swallow them into history like the Ka-Ha-Teni. This event is less directly competitive since teams may be following different sets of clues and searching for their own individual treasures. As one of our most creative and involved programs, the Voyage for Lost Treasure will leave your group with terrific memories and a bond they will continue to share long after they've retumed to the office.

T.E.A.M. Challenge
An in-depth teambuilding event with on-land challenges placedalong the river float, plus professionally led debriefs at the end of each element. more..
The T.E.A.M. Challenge was created by Desert Voyagers for groups needing a change in their dynamics and the way they work together as a team. Team members are chosen carefully to create a diverse mix of personalities. The teams will float peacefully down the Lower Salt River with up to three stops for on-land challenges. Each element will push team members outside of their comfort zones. Leaders become followers and followers become the leaders. We focus on encouraging affective communication, building trust, taking on new roles and doing what is needed for your team to be successful. Your group will leave with a more positive attitude. Each element is followed with a professionally led debrief where team members will talk about their performance and what could have worked better. Through communication and a commitment to improving, participants break down barriers and embrace a new approach to their daily workplace actions, while completing fun and exciting elements.

Build-A-Raft
Teams must assemble a raft of sorts from a pile of mystery materials that will carry their entire team across the river and back again - no tour included. more..
Short on time for your program? Don't need the full river tour with your teambuilding event? Build-A-Raft is a shorter, more condensed adventure your whole team can get behind! Groups are split into teams and then shown to one of the beautiful banks of the Lower Salt River. Waiting for them are identical black boxes filled with mystery supplies they must utilize to create a floating, river-worthy craft. This craft must carry their entire team across the river and back safely. Teams must decide between speed and strategy as each raft will bejudged on build time, performance, and speed on the water. Materials supplied might include items like twine, pieces of rope, empty water jugs, pool noodles, milk crates, 5-gallon buckets, old broken paddles and more. Some would call this stuff garbage... we call it the ultimate in recycling and your ticket to winning the Build-A-Raft challenge!

Cast Away
Combine the Build-A-Raft event with even more fun and intrigue as teams must learn various survival skills like primitive fire and compass making - no tour included. more..
Like the idea of a Build-A-Raft competition but want a little more? Book a Cast Away adventure today! Cast Away begins with teams learning the basics of survival on a desert island. First on the To-Do List is primitive fire! Teams must learn from an experienced fire-maker how to rub two sticks together to create flame. A simple lifesaving tool, fire provides warmth, signaling, water sterilization, and comfort. Next our cast aways must figure out where they are by creating a compass from almost nothing. Teams will move on when they can correctly shoot a bearing with their compass. Finally teams gather for the Build-A-Raft section of their challenge. They've done well surviving on the island but now it's time to set out for the high rolling seas and go home. Each team will be given identical black boxes filled with mystery materials. These materials must be used to make a river worthy craft that will take their entire team across the river and back safely. Rafts will be judged on the time it took to build the raft, performance and speed on the water.
