Fabulous kayaking with Jonny - Fabulous trip with Jonny. Easy pick up at the Mandalay Bay and then about an hour drive to the Colorado River. Beautiful place. Fantastic kayak down river to cave, with stop on the way back for swim, snacks and a mini-hike. Jonny was so knowledgeable about plants and wildlife.
Really great day and back at hotel by 3.00pm which means you still have plenty of time to do other things. Highly recommended.

Fun, easy tour - This was a fun, easy day on the water. The company and guides were all super helpful. We drove from Vegas instead of using the shuttle. Easily checked in since we beat the shuttle to the beach. We had a big group with varying experience with kayaking, but no one had issues or tipped over. The guides were great. Both were funny, informed, and engaging. The cave itself was a little under whelming but the beach and canyon were very cool to kayak. It was crowded, so you may get to the cave and have to wait for your groups turn i the cave. Overall, a very cool and chill experience

Fantastic day trip. Great Views - Our guide Xander was great. Very scenic, highly recommend. Bring a hat and sunscreen. Honestly, Emerald Cave was underwhelming, but loved the paddle and views on the way.

Amazing four hours paddling and seeing breathtaking views of nature. - This was the best money and time I spend in Vegas. The company communicated each step of the way and answered all the questions I had. Tyler our guide picked the group up at Mandalay Bay. We launched kayaks from Willow Beach and spent an amazing four hours paddling. Tyler was a great guide and gave us history of different areas we passed. We saw big horn desert sheep. On our way back to Vegas we made a pit stop at a local park and got to see the big horn sheep up close. Highly recommend this trip. The landscape is beautiful, the tour guides are great. Loved it!
