The Green Canyon Boat Trip was amazing. Perfect for families with kids because of the two swim stops! My little ones absolutely loved spotting the rare fish owls along the way. Don't forget your camera—the views are seriously breathtaking! Pack some extra snacks if your kids are snack machines like mine.
