Best part of going to Vegas! - The trip was absolutely amazing. We had the most gorgeous day. Took our time paddling on our own tour. Stopped at the cave and different beaches and explored and swam. Would definitely go back!

Fun times - If you get Madi. Just know she's amazing. She put up with My husband's Tom foolery the whole time. Lol.
She made sure to call out any wildlife we saw and gave us some very fun facts about the river and it's history.
She set a great pace and we really enjoyed our time on the Colorado. Even if I accidently did a polar dive when I flipped kayak

Good tour, could extend to provide time to see cave. - Tour was great, Guide was fun we chose to do the tour with the guide so we could paddle and explore. The only negative is the cave is literally 25 feet deep, room for 8 kayaks side by side. The optimal time to see the emerald is at 1:30.. we had to be back at the beach by 2… and it’s a 2 mile kayak back.. so didn’t get to experience the light. All in all it’s worth a visit. But I’d love to go on my own so that I can see the tiny cave and the light. Beware that other tour guides are pretty defensive when your get in ear shot and they tell you to leave… not cool. It’s a public place.

The water is so clear and green and it is so refreshing to be in it! The mountains around us are gorgeous all the way to the caves and back! I definitely recommend! Best tour you can get from Vegas!!!

A great experience - What an Amazing experience!
The views were fantastic. I can not recommend this day out highly enough.
Our guide was Clayton. He made the day what it was. From the moment of out pick up he explained everything really well and made it fun!
The weather was perfect (a little bit windy on the return journey but easily manageable for the whole group)
Clayton was a brilliant guide, ensured we all went at a comfortable pace and showed us lots of things and explained everything really well
Thanks!

Outing to the emerald cellars - Equipment in good condition but above all a very nice care by the manager on site. The site is beautiful🤩
The water is green as in the pictures but the caves are very small😊, which does not make less beautiful

Great Adventure - Juston was a wonderful host and took great care of us. We even left an hour early to beat the high winds. Sights are breathtaking and kayak rental process was a breeze. Thanks for a great time! We had so much fun ❤️

Enjoy a nice little kayaking.. - First, this was not a guided tour. Most the reviews say otherwise. It was just a rental. And that was okay. The "caves" are more coves. Easy to find and keep your eyes open for wildlife along the way. Highly recommended.
