Wonderful day on the Colorado river - We had a wonderful day on the Colorado River with Trek Tours. We throughly enjoyed our guides knowledge and experience of the area. We really appreciated his flexibility and willingness to develop a program that suited us and the time we had. Our guide had excellent communication before the trip and made the whole trip great fun. Given my damaged shoulder I also appreciated his medical knowledge and ability to tow me if needed! Thankfully it wasn’t 😂 If we ever get a chance we’ll definitely look Trek Tours up again directly through their website to plan an overnight camping trip! Recommend to all.

Kayaking in December? It was a perfect day... - It was a beautiful day, and we couldn't have chosen a better guide. Jared was great; definitely an expert, with much knowledge of the area. We recommend Trek Las Vegas for any outdoor adventure and look forward to another trip next year....Thanks Jared!

Beautiful water - This was a fun adventure that only took half a day. It was a nice little get away from the Strip. We had our own car with us and drove ourselves out to Willow Beach to save time. Our guide, Jared, was knowledgable of the area and took his time showing us everything. He took great pictures for us and pointed out things we would've overlooked. He was super nice, and friendly. Definitely worth the trip! We went in November, but I bet it would be great for a swim in the summer!

An Exceptionally Fun Day! - I chose this tour specifically because of our preference for sit-upon kayaks but ended up with so much more. Jared provided an excellent river adventure that included extensive knowledge of flora, fauna, geology, indigenous history and culture. We were in a small, intimate group for which he individualized the experience. The scenery was spectacular and this trip had its own, unique characteristics from other kayak excursions we had done in the past. If you’re looking for a close up look at the Colorado River basin and gorge, this trip is highly recommended.

He was very accommodating of our comfort during the entire trip, always checking in on how we were doing and suggesting any good rest points just in case we were ready for a break 🌟
