We had a great experience with River Dogz kayak tour of the Colorado River and emerald cave! Julia was a very knowledgeable and helpful guide, as well as patient. We got to see several historical aspects that remain from building the Hoover dam as well as learning a lot about the region's geology, flora, and fauna. We would absolutely recommend this tour and would go back in a heartbeat!

Such an fabulous trip! Michelle was an amazing tour guide! I had never kayaked before but her instruction and tips made it so easy. She's so personable and funny, sharing lots of interesting insights into the region's history, topography and wildlife. We saw some local desert big horn sheep on the hillside. Very cool watching them navigate the steep, rocky terrain. The water is so clear and gorgeous and of course, the highlight of the trip: Emerald Cove. More beautiful in person and the perfect cherry on top of a perfect day. A total must do if you visit Vegas. Perfect way to spend a hot September day.Michelle took great care of us too. Watched us to make sure we were staying hydrated, didn't let anyone fall behind, took so many wonderful photos of all of us so we could just experience the river and she was hugely encouraging and fun to be on the water with! She has so many great stories too. I loved every minute and will be returning in a couple of months. Thank you, Michelle! The whole day was just perfection!

Wonderful day! The whole adventure was very smooth. Pick up was punctual, Preston had great knowledge of the areas we drove through to get to Willow beach. His tips for handling the kayak were brilliant. Not a blister in sight. Would highly recommend
