Our adventure begins and ends in St. George, Utah. You can fly directly into St. George and take a taxi or Uber to your hotel, or fly into Las Vegas and arrange a shuttle or rental car for the approximately two-hour drive.Since we'll have an early start on Day 1 at 7:30 am, we recommend arriving the day before. We'll provide a suggested hotel along with detailed meeting instructions before departure.​We’ll wrap up on May 25th after an optional early morning guided hike in Snow Canyon State Park.

The hikes are relatively easy, although some trails have uneven rocks or sandy terrain. Our kayaking adventures involve approximately two hours of paddling, which can be more challenging when the wind picks up. Guests should be comfortable spending time outdoors and participating in active adventures. Reach out with any questions at all so we can be sure it's the right fit for you.

Some prior kayaking experience is recommended. Single and double kayaks are available, with double kayaks dependent on having a paddling partner. If you've never kayaked before, please contact us before registering so we can discuss whether this trip is right for you.

Late May is generally a beautiful time to explore southern Utah and northern Arizona. Days can be quite warm, while evenings in the desert may be cooler. We'll provide a detailed packing list to help you prepare for changing temperatures and outdoor activities.

We'll spend two nights glamping at Under Canvas Lake Powell in comfortable safari-style tents with private bathrooms, real beds, and wood-burning stoves. There is hot water for the shower when you pull the chain. Our final night will be at a beautiful resort near St. George.

Absolutely! Many of our guests come alone, and our small-group adventures create a welcoming atmosphere where friendships develop naturally through shared experiences.If you'd like to share a tent with another guest, we'll do our best to match you with a roommate, although we cannot guarantee one. We'll also ask everyone about their kayaking preferences and do our best to accommodate requests for double kayaks, depending on the availability of a paddling partner.

We'd love to talk with you! Whether you have questions about kayaking, hiking, accommodations, or anything else, please reach out before registering. We're happy to help you decide whether this adventure is a good fit.

Yes. All guests are required to carry their own travel insurance policy that includes medical coverage and emergency evacuation. It is generally advisable to choose a policy with substantial coverage for both medical expenses and evacuation. Many policies provide $50,000–$100,000 in medical coverage and $250,000–$500,000 for emergency evacuation, but you should confirm what level of coverage is appropriate for your situation. If your trip includes high-altitude hiking (such as Peru or Bhutan), you may want a policy that covers hiking at higher elevations. When purchasing insurance, it can be helpful to call the provider directly to confirm altitude limits and activity exclusions so there are no surprises. Some travelers choose to purchase Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR) coverage for greater flexibility. If you have pre-existing medical conditions or are considering CFAR coverage, many policies require the insurance to be purchased shortly after your initial trip deposit in order for those benefits to apply. Insurance policies vary widely, so please review the details carefully and confirm coverage directly with your insurance provider. LH Adventure Travel does not provide insurance and is not responsible for individual insurance decisions. If helpful, a link to Squaremouth, a travel insurance comparison site, is provided at checkout for guests who wish to explore policy options. LH Adventure Travel may receive a small affiliate commission if you choose to purchase through that link, at no additional cost to you

Our small-group adventures require a minimum number of guests to operate (typically about 6 participants). If a trip must be cancelled because the minimum number of guests has not been reached, you will have the option to:• convert the trip into a private departure if possible (with adjusted pricing), or • receive a full refund of payments made to LH Adventure Travel.In the unlikely event that travel cannot occur due to circumstances beyond our control — such as natural disasters, government restrictions, political unrest, disease outbreaks, or other unforeseen events — LH Adventure Travel will work with local partners to recover as much of the trip cost as possible. Because many services are prepaid to local operators, refunds depend on the policies of those partners. Any funds recovered will be applied as a credit toward a future LH Adventure Travel trip, valid for one year.We recommend checking with your travel insurance provider to understand which situations may be covered under your policy.LH Adventure Travel is not responsible for additional expenses incurred by guests, including airfare, travel insurance, or other travel arrangements.All payments made to LH Adventure Travel are non-refundable. If you need to cancel your participation for any reason, payments cannot be refunded.If your cancellation is covered under your travel insurance policy, you may submit a claim directly to your insurance provider. LH Adventure Travel will provide any documentation required to support an insurance claim.

Your safety and wellbeing are our top priority. We work closely with trusted local partners in each country who know the culture, terrain, and logistics inside and out. If there are ever concerns about security, weather, or local conditions, the itinerary may be adjusted to ensure the group’s comfort and safety. For added security, we require each guest to upload a copy of their travel insurance policy prior to the trip. We also recommend enrolling in the U.S. State Department’s Smart Traveler Enrollment Program (STEP) before departure. This free service allows you to receive important updates about your destination and helps the embassy contact you in case of an emergency. You can sign up here: STEP Program

Most of your trip is fully taken care of as indicated on the trip website, but there are a few small items to be aware of. For drinks not included on the trip, guests often decide to share bills and use an app called Splitwise to keep track. If your itinerary states that on the final day, one private transfer is included to the airport or train station, that is for the day listed. If you plan to stay longer, we’re happy to help you arrange your own additional transportation as needed.
