Great experience! - Las Vegas SUP Kayak Club offers a great experience. We did the rental vs the guided tour which was good for our group of 7. We added 2 people to our reservation and Viator, the TripAdvisor booking company for the event didn’t communicate well with Las Vegas SUP, as a result, our party has to split up on the trip from Mandalay Bay to the kayak site. It was a bit of an inconvenience but the Las Vegas SUP made it work for us.
Great experience!

Lots of fun at Lake Mohave - This is a great way to explore outside of Vegas a bit and connect with nature, super refreshing cold water at Lake Mohave, and a fun experience for anyone. Our guide Madi picked us up from our hotel and she was excellent every step of the way, telling us about the history of the area and helping us learn how to kayak for the first time, just made it all easy to follow and easy to enjoy. Don’t forget your sunblock and electrolytes :)

Great times at emerald cave - This was the absolute highlight of our trip. You get a chance to get away from the fast paced city to go into nature and experience the beauty of the desert that your in. Many smiling faces and a good work out too. We were taken care of very well and our guide Allen was phenomenal. I definitely recommend this to anyone seeking adventure!

Day at Emerald Cave - It was a beautiful day and we enjoyed the kayaking a lot. The cave itself was a bit disappointing and smaller then the advertised photos looked but the kayaking was fun. The water was freezing cold but felt great as it was hot.

Solo Kayaking - I did this tour last week with Johnny. He was a great guide because his instructions were clear and he was super supportive and encouraging. I was picked up at Mandalay Bay on time and we departed. We had plenty of time on the water and thankfully great weather. I would totally do this again.

Worth beating the heat! - Lots of wildlife to watch for along the river. The water was refreshing on 120° day. Best to see the cases mid afternoon. The team were quick and accommodating.

Don't SUP - The area was beautiful. My party opted for paddleboarding. We never made to the cave because the condition of one of boards. The fin was broken and the board was pretty beat up which made it difficult to paddle against the current and wind.
