Great Kayaking Excursion - Robbie was the best! He was so enthusiastic not just about kayaking but also about nature and wildlife. I learned a few things about the different types of wildlife around the Willow Beach area. Robbie was also very good at explaining to us newbies how to kayak and took great photos of us.

Cool off the Vegas Strip. - We enjoyed our time in the water kayaking as a family. Good activity for varied fitness levels. Transportation there and back was not pleasant. A good escape off the Vegas strip. Water was cool at 55 degrees. The natural scape & wildlife very calming. Would not recommend transporting to and from. Drive yourself if you can. Van was old, ac barely working and music too loud to make anyone comfortable. Also, we had to wait to get into the cave for 45 minutes as there were many groups out there at the same time. Not well regulated and not very fun.
