We had such a great experience with River Dogs on our Emerald Cave tour while visiting Las Vegas! Everything was well organized and punctual, and our guides were incredibly friendly, knowledgeable, and accommodating. They even took pictures for us along the way! Snacks and unlimited water were provided, which was a nice touch. The entire experience was reasonably priced and absolutely worth the money. What really stood out was how they went above and beyond to mail my friend's stickers back to her after she accidentally left them on the bus. Such thoughtful customer service! Highly recommend River Dogs to anyone visiting the area!

What cant I say about this trip.....it was AMAZING!!! The pickup was convenient...the ride was comfortable...and the trip was unforgettable. If you dont know how to paddle..no worries...they will teach you in the best way possible...the scenery throughout the whole trip was amazing. Our tour guide was alert and very attentive which gave us all a very comfortable vibe throughout the trip. I am definitely going to recommend them to my family the next time they come out here!

Excellent tour! Our tour guide, Preston, did a precise job leading and tracking us on tour after giving us knowledgeable and clear instructions to ensure a safe and fun expedition. He was very courteous and communicated clearly (and affably) throughout the tour. The river was calm, peaceful, and beautiful. It's 2 miles to the cave and 2 miles back for a total of 4 miles absorbing in the beauty of the river. Preston takes the time to take a few photos, which he has an excellent eye of catching the stunning green water sparkling in the sunlight. This is a must tour….and ask for Preston!

It was a nice leisurely kayak down the river. We would have liked to go faster, but it was still enjoyable. The guide shared lots of information about the history of the area. Would recommend. Looking forward to doing the all day tour another time.

One of the best choices I ever took for doing excursions or water sports. I can't describe enough how much I enjoyed this tour. I had the most cool and unforgettable water splash ever in the Colorado river. Our guide Michelle was so friendly, professional and we learnt a lot from her about the basics of Kayaking. It was so relaxing and I enjoyed the nature a lot. This is a must to do tour to be done while you are in Vegas. Thank you so much River Dogz!
