What a FANTASTIC kayak trip!!!Take the hour drive south of Las Vegas and allow River Dogz to guide you down the Colorado River from Willow Beach to Emerald Cave! It's an extraordinary outing. Make sure to schedule your trip with Luke who is a true expert and a pleasure to join.

Absolutely incredible tour, Luke is an amazing tour guide, he was full of fun facts about the nature in the area as well as the history behind the hover damn and the significance it had on our country. He also took pictures for the group free of charge. Just an incredible experience overall!

If you are in Las Vegas, want an activity outside of the typical strip vibe…BOOK THIS! We were a group of 5 first-time kayakers and were uncertain at first but our guide Jessica was phenomenal in making us comfortable and feeling capable. Thanks again River Dogz for a unique experience and absolutely amazing afternoon!

Our family's private trip with Jessica was first class. Everything was carefully explained and organized right down to the final detail. I mean these folks even arranged for us to have the perfect weather on our trip - thank you!
