Was able to get details, secure a rental of two kayaks, fill out waivers over the email/internet and pick up our kayaks that evening for the next day river trip!! Super helpful, easy to work with, reasonable prices, knowledgeable about kayaking the area. Drop off on Sunday afternoon was equally easy.

4.5 Coronado Historic Site (249 reviews)
- With the docent, climb up and then down into the decorated Kiva...feel the ancestors
Thursday: 8:30 AM - 5:00 PM Historic Sites • Ancient Ruins • Monuments & Statues

We were very fortunate to have the site to ourselves with a private docent tour of the restored Kiva paintings. The pueblo was occupied from about 1325 to end of 16th century. These murals represent one of the finest examples of pre-contact Native American art to be found anywhere in North America. We climbed up a wood ladder and down a ladder into the Kiva itself. It was mystic. We had never seen such paintings previously. 17 layers of wall murals were removed and preserved and reproduction murals were painted on its reconstructed interiors. Many of the original murals are in the site’s visitor center museum. No photographs are allowed in this kiva. See more..
