Breathtaking views for all water-addicts - Tour was well organized, Isaac was a very attractive tour leader, pointing out every little thing to pay attention to. Weather was awesome and swimming in Colorado river is a real adventure.

Amazing Isaac - Isaac from Oneness adventure hands down to this amazing guide. He is not my guide but I flipped my kayak - he rescued and saved me. Too bad I didn’t get a solo picture but definitely be back and recommend him to my friends and relatives. He took a worthy National Geographic shot. Thank you so much Isaac.

Fun day! - It was a very fun day on the water! Don was a fantastic guide, with information about the area, wildlife, and plant life. I chose to meet at Willow Bay, but there is an option to be picked up at one of the hotels on the strip, which is great for those who need it. Fun experience!

Amazing experinence with tour guide Don - I highly recommend Don as a tour guide; he is friendly, caring with an energetic personality and is a highly motivated tour guide; he is experienced and knowledgeable of the area. The scenery was beautiful and peaceful, Don described the Colorado’s river ecosystem during the kayaking tour in detail and he spotted a bald eagle!! (it was a unique experience as bald eagles are not too easy to find). He explained the geography and showed part of the San Andreas fault during the tour. It was my first time kayaking, and Don gave me detailed instructions in how to paddle which I felt more confident to start the journey (he is very patient and encouraging as in the beginning I started to paddle very slowly). Thank you, Don, for the unforgettable experience!

A full day adventure! - Great day experience! Definitely would do it again. The views were amazing and our tour guide was great! I would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for an adventure. We started the day wıth a 9am pıck up and made ıt back around 4pm. They offered bottled water, fruıt and bars. I would recommend bringing a small cooler wıth you on the kayak to pack your lunch and your own snacks or a water bag to keep your belongings.

Stood up - Driver never picked us up. We spent money on a cab, woke up early, lost 3 hours waiting and preparing.
