Best impromptu find ever. Came to Las Vegas for a show but this was the highlight of the trip by far. Griffin is an amazing guide. Perfect way to spend the day. I would recommend this to anyone.

This is a great get away from the Vegas crazy! Ask for Preston for your tour guide. He is very communicative. Waters are a perfect balance for this crazy heat!

We had a great time on this tour! Michelle was amazing! We just wanted to kayak and see the Emerald cave but it was much more, great wildlife and history about the area that was very interesting. Highly recommend.

Great tour, great experience! Our tour guide, Griffin, was fantastic, we moved at the perfect pace for our group. I suggest the first tour of the morning. Everything was so peaceful. We saw many birds, fish, and were lucky enough to see bighorn sheep! The cave was cool, but the whole trip was just nonstop calm and enjoyment. Don't forget to eat breakfast, wear a hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen! Our favorite part of our whole vegas trip was this tour. If you drive and do the first tour of the day, you will have enough time (and energy) afterwards to go to the Hoover Dam and check it out. Overall I very highly recommend this tour, this company and this guide!

I had a lot of fun paddling down the Colorado River. I went by myself and made a friend. Michelle was an excellent guide. She showed us the proper ways to paddle and was very encouraging. She was friendly and fun. I would definitely tell friends to go with this tour company, and I plan on coming back to do more kayaking. Thank you so much for an amazing experience.
