This was such a fun day. Although we had a stiff wind on our return, we loved the rugged beauty of the canyon. Seeing some wildlife was also a treat. Our guide Jessica was thorough in her instructions, and her friendliness and enthusiasm added to making this a memorable experience. I was a bit disappointed to see another kayaker from a different group catch and play with a small lizard before tossing it into the water. Such interactions with wildlife is not cool, and should be addressed to those who visit.

Our family had an amazing time on this kayaking adventure! Our tour guide, Preston was great! We had a pretty decent size group and had a few people whose kayaks flipped and he was extremely helpful each time. I would definitely do this kayak tour again and I highly recommend it for anyone coming to visit Las Vegas and want a change of scenery in nature.

The absolute most amazing adventure! Michelle was the best guide. She captured tons of memories for everyone. Sent all the pictures to you. She was so knowledgeable of the whole area. Snacks and water were provided. The scenery was breath taking. One of the best experiences of our whole Vegas trip.

Our hiking trip to the Valley of Fire was more than we could have ever imagined! We didn’t know what to expect going in, but none of us could have imagined how truly special and unforgettable this trip would be. We were absolutely blessed to have Haley as our guide! We could NOT have handpicked a more amazing, experienced, knowledgeable, and overall outstanding person to have guided our journey. She completely catered the itinerary to our specific interests and what we each wanted to get out of the trip, making our experience one we will never forget! Would recommend 10 out of 10 times to anyone with even the slightest interest in checking it out. Thanks again for everything!
