Amazing - We had an amazing 3 miles and then a super scary storm hit on our last mile back. These tour guides were amazing!! Jake risked his life to save a kayaker that flipped without even knowing if she was in our group or another one. Even dealing with that he made sure to shout out instructions so we would be as safe as possible. Cool under pressure, and they worked together with other guides to make sure we all made it back. I cannot give enough positive credit for how they handled what could have been a truly life and death situation.

Beautiful and relaxing ride on the Colorado - beautiful trip. easy kayaking up and down river. great guide. Nice to have snacks part way on trip. Sunday and Monday there is no boat traffic on river so that was nice bonus (went on a Sunday). The scheduled time is Vegas time-you go into ARZ and time changes so don’t worry like us when that happens.

A must do experience - A perfect way to spend the day away from the city. Absolutely gorgeous views, and the water is so clean and clear! If you love being on the water... don't miss this great opportunity. Our guide Preston was fantastic! Tidbits of history on the drive and on the river, plus his keen eye for spotting the wildlife was fun. Big horn sheep, eagles, blue herons and much more.

Fun river float for all ages - Preston was great. Took the time to ensure everyone in the group understood how to properly get into the kayaks as well as get out. He was very informative on the drive to Willow Beach and the kayak trip. Pointing out historical landmarks local wildlife! We saw eagles, mountain sheep, crawdads and several species of birds.
