Kayaking with Ryan - The experience was great! Ryan was really nice and helpful as a guide and explains how to kayak. It was my first time kayaking and felt supported and assured. The route was well-planned, with plenty of opportunities to take breaks and enjoy the surroundings. The guide were knowledgeable, sharing interesting facts about the area and giving helpful tips along the way. They made sure everyone felt comfortable and had a great time, no matter their experience level. Highly recommend!

Great Adventure on the Colorado River - We originally signed up for the "express" tour but due to demand, the tour operator moved us over to the "full" tour at no extra charge. Great customer service! Our tour guides, Aaron and Faith, were terrific! We had quite a number of guests in our group (16 I think) but it never felt like we were not getting attention from the guides. Aaron and Faith had very good background on the river, canyon, plant life and the early history of the dam building. The kayaks were top notch and easy to handle on the river. A plus, that initially seemed gimmicky, was the inclusion of water guns on each boat. These were perfect for cooling off in the hot sun while having fun "wars" with all the guests and guides. We stopped twice, once for a box lunch (what you would expect) and once to get views from a spot above the river. We even got to get in the 53 degree water which was needed after working our way up and down the river. We would highly recommend this tour!

Would do again - Costumer service was great when the third party screwed up our reservation. Our guide Salvatore was above and beyond. He was knowledgeable on all aspects of the river, wild life and history.

While Vegas is Hot, the Colorado River and the Emerald Cave is Cool! - We had a great trip! While Vegas is hot, the Colorado River is cool!! Great way to see the canyon. Faith was our guide and was wonderful! She was very informative and we all had a spectacular time! We did the Emerald Cave 4 hour tour, and we are already planning a trip to come back to do the hot springs tour. Thanks Evolution Expeditions and Faith!

Off the beaten track of the strip! - Our Guide, Sal, gave us a great kayaking experience. My friend and I were at our first kayaking experience. The level is suitable for beginners with a minimum of physical proficiency. The scenery is fabulous, the river water a beautiful translucent green. To do!
