Emerald Caves trip - We had so much fun and Faith was an awesome guide. Definitely going to book another trip with her early next year. She was so knowledgeable about the building of the Hoover Dam

Fantastic Experience! Faith is a great tour guide. Would highly recommend! - I would highly recommend this tour. It was my first time kayaking anywhere, but after a few minutes, I felt I had the hang of it. Our tour guide Faith was fantastic as a guide and host. She was very knowledgeable and informative about the area (Lake Mead, Colorado River and Emerald Cave). It goes without saying this area is very hot (particularly in the summer months) and there's a lot of sun exposure so hydrate well and wear proper clothing and sunscreen. It was well worth the money I spent in my opinion.

AMAZING EXPERIENCE - Aaron was AMAZING accommodating our transportation, my husband’s lunch as he is lactose intolerant, and offering other packages we did not know about. We will definitely recommend this company to friends and family. Maggie, our tour guide was also AMAZING, she made sure to share her knowledge of the area, geography, local plants and animals, and the dump history. She fairly distributed her time among the participants. Lovely personality. As per the adventure itself, we liked it so much, this was our second time.

Magical Emerald Water - Maggie and Ryan were my tour guides. This was such a magical place and a great way to get away from Las Vegas for a half day adventure. I was traveling alone and pick up was easy and I felt safe the whole trip. Maggie is an excellent driver I got us to and from the hotel safely.
