Loved the whole... - Loved the whole experience! I would totally do it again! I received lots of beneficial information leading up to the tour regarding timing, what to wear, what to expect and pick-up details! Our guide Ryan was AWESOME! He was very informative and fun to spend the day with! He taught each of us how to use the equipment properly to avoid tipping the boat or causing us blisters. He allowed us some the opportunity to enjoy the kayaking at our own pace. The weather was great and the water was beautiful! A must for those who like the fresh air and beautiful scenery!

Dog Dayz - I went by myself and the tour guide, Preston did a great job of promoting camaraderie among the separate members of the group. The tour had so much value. One of the most memorable views and experiences of my entire trip.

Great escape from the hustle and bustle of Las Vegas - Great outing on the Colorado River! Our guide Ryan was really personable and helpful once on the river. He took a ton of photos of everyone and sent them to us quickly. It was a bit chilly in January but it was a gorgeous day. The cave was a little underwhelming due to low water levels and limited sun due to the time of the year but it was really beautiful.

Book it meow! You will have a blast! - First of all, Preston was an amazing tour guide. Very passionate and knowledgeable. Secondly, OMG! Even in the winter cold, we had such a great time kayaking the Colorado River. It was peaceful & scenic & a great outdoors experience to do if you're visiting Vegas/etc. Will do this again!!!
***They offered plenty of snacks (chips, protein bars & bananas) & waters. Plan to get in the water to get on the kayak! Take your Chacos/water shoes, extra clothes, maybe a towel, waterproof bag & phone lanyard, sunglasses, hat and sunscreen. They have a store there incase you forget any of these items.
