Overview

Many clients write back after their trip exclaiming what a great time they had with Desert Voyagers. Families enjoy the information their children receive about a new and fascinating ecosystem and are impressed by the lush, green, and vibrant riparian preserve that surrounds them on the water. A river trip on the Lower Salt and Lower Verde Rivers is an unforgettable event when they are guided by Desert Voyagers and the company continues to work towards not only meeting clients' expectations, but exceeding them.

Desert Voyagers has an ongoing priority permit with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Tonto National Forest and with the Fort McDowell Indian Community. They have a spotless safety record for over 23 years, the entirety of the existence of the tour company. They are also active members of the Scottsdale Chamber of Commerce, the Scottsdale Convention and Visitor's Bureau, the Mesa Convention and Visitor's Bureau, and America Outdoors, the nationwide association for outfitters and guides.

Professional Guides
The guides are trained, professional, experienced and friendly. Some of Desert Voyagers’ river guides have been with them since the late 1980s and all are like a big family. Every guide is certified in First Aid and CPR and may have higher wilderness medicine certifications. The guides come from many different backgrounds that give them a unique viewpoint when interacting with guests on and off the river. Some are ecologists, wildlife preservationists, emergency medical technicians, firemen, survival instructors, white water guides, teachers, fitness instructors, rock climbers, retired military personnel, and many are college graduates, some with master's degrees. This interesting and unique mix of people, headed by Marsha Blumm, owner and operator, adds enormously to the experiences clients have on the water.

Corporate Teambuilding
Desert Voyagers Guided Raft Tours knows that in today’s world it’s who you work with that matters. They know that when teams don’t unite, a company’s product and service will suffer. Teambuilding events are a great way to help a group of individuals become an effectively cohesive unit. Desert Voyagers has a number of teambuilding options that can encourage healthy competition or work specifically on building trust. Programs can be designed to encourage communication, cooperation and confidence. The varied options available let you choose what’s best for your group and then they’ll do the rest. Not only will groups learn to work together but they will have an amazing amount of fun as well.

The others in my team and I had so much fun on your teambuilding day that we can’t stop talking about it. We all got to know each other a little bit better and learned everyone’s strengths and weaknesses and we can use that information to get along, work together, and be more productive. We have really benefited from the work we did with you all and we hope to return next year.

Every Trip
Desert Voyagers Guided Raft Tours takes personal pride in the service of providing people with a memorable natural experience. Every guided river trip hosts an opportunity to share the unique and vibrant Sonoran Desert with guests from other states and countries. No other desert is as lush and green and full of life as the Sonoran. With warm days and cool nights, this desert is the only place in the world with giant Saguaro Cactus, Gila Monsters, Big Horn Sheep or such a rich history. Desert Voyagers wants to share this desert and its ecosystems with as many people as possible with the knowledge that they’ll return home with wonderful memories and a newfound depth of understanding for the natural world. Guests of Desert Voyagers Guided Raft will always feel enriched by the abundant life and energy that these desert rivers offer to any willing person.

We had a great time with Desert Voyagers. I can't imagine a more professional staff or a more enjoyable way to see the desert. We will recommend Desert Voyagers to all of our friends and relatives. Thank you so much!
-Sarah and Carl Goldman
