We booked a kayaking tour with Lake Powell Paddleboards and Kayaks. We had to be at their office in downtown Page area at 8:15AM to sign up. Then we were instructed to drive to Antelope Point area to join the tour. Since we already signed the online waiver previously, we just didn’t understand why we had to visit their downtown office first.
When we got there and met the kayaking guide, we had to carry the paddles and walk down to the lake bank to be loaded onto the kayak. The walk was short, but the walkway was not well prepared for walking.
We had to paddle against the wind all the way to Antelope Canyon area, but then it became very beautiful. With high cliffs on both sides, kayaking in the middle of a calm lake was just heavenly. We finally had a chance to enjoy kayaking and take photos.
On the way back, we were in the direction of the wind, so it was much easier. We all enjoyed this tour very much.
After we got back to the hotel, we had to take showers and rest a little bit. Then we went on to visit our last attraction - Lees Ferry. The ranger in the visitor center recommended us to visit this attraction. It was about 1+ hour drive from Page, and it is pretty far in comparison with other nearby attractions. The scenery was beautiful. When we got there, we had to drive around and eventually got to Lees Ferry. We saw a group of people preparing their rafts to flow down the Colorado River. After we talked to one of the ladies from the group, we realized this was the starting point for all visitors to do a rafting tour down to Grand Canyon area. It requires permit and experience to do this rafting tour. It takes around 15 days for the whole trip.
We drove along the River Road to enjoy the Colorado River. Then we drove back to town.
With our great experience with Bonker Restaurant, we went back again to enjoy another wonderful dinner.
Side note: Today I noticed that I cracked my Apple Watch’s surface. Now I couldn’t enter the passcode to open the watch. Not sure when and where it happened. I must have bumped it to the canyon surface or the ground. Caution: if you wear a watch, try to protect your watch's surface.
