A different Vegas experience - Our tour guide was EJ, he was wonderful and very knowledgeable. We were all beginners and have never kayaked and even had 2 kids with us. He showed us what we needed to know and guided us down the river. We enjoyed our trip and conversations with him. The cave was beautiful and the whole experience so enjoyable and well worth it. Would definitely do it again and recommend it to anyone wanting to get away from the regular Vegas experience.

A fantastic four hours kayaking (with some rest stops)! - It was great for my friend and me to be able to each rent a kayak from Adventure Child at the last minute (actually the night before) and travel from Willow Beach to Emerald Cove. Adventure Travel was easy to work with even though we did a last-minute booking. Zane got us set up and allowed us to kayak at our own pace and enjoy the beauty of the area. Highly recommend!

Amazing half day kayaking the Colorado River! - My friends and I had an absolutely amazing day on the Colorado River! EJ was an excellent tour guide, sharing his knowledge of the river, the land, the animals, and the history. He was so friendly, he felt like family, and was also very laid back, letting us kind of navigate where we wanted to go and hang in certain spots longer. Having a smaller intimate group was great for this reason! The river and the scenery were absolutely beautiful. We even got lucky to see some wildlife. Highly highly recommend Adventure Child. We will definitely be coming back!

Worst tour company! - We went on June 8,2024. Our original booking was 2PM but Elizabeth called us and asked if we can go at 9AM due to warm weather which we obliged. There was no sign when we got there. We went around the area looking for signs, nothing. It was already 9AM and nobody was there. We found other tour groups giving instructions to their group as to what to expect, safety, how to paddle, etc. we watched while waiting for Adventure Child to show up. We were informed by other groups that they are always late and just show up when they want to. Finally,a guy showed up, started unloading different kayak boats and he seemed irritated because we asked him why he’s late. He pointed to a stack of life vests told us to put it on while he was unloading. After unloading, he told us to pick whatever boat and start kayaking without giving instructions and he just assumed we know what to do. We did kayaking before but the other people in our group, didn’t know what they were doing in the beginning. Then we waited for him for maybe another 15 minutes before he got into the water. We basically followed him all through the Emerald Cove then came back which took almost 3 hours. We saw other group stopping at some areas and their tour guides narrating while kayaking. The place is beautiful but I advise you to use a different tour company. Don’t use Adventure Child, you will get frustrated. It’s not worth the money.

Terrible company do not book - The tour operator made us wait 30 minutes in the water (kids tired out) waiting on a couple “chicks” to arrive that never showed. He only took us halfway and we didnt even make it to emerald cave because we were so far behind on time. He said it isn’t anything special and they lie about it for a selling point. It was absolutely terrible. The tour operator did nothing but talk about himself. I would never ever book with this company. The kayaks were in poor mismatched condition
