This experience was incredible. Julia was very kind and patient. She did a great job explaining everything and would answer any questions we had. It was a very informative trip as well. It was worth every penny. I can’t wait to do it again!

Great guide. Very safety conscious. Good sense of humor and my kind of sarcasm. Something fun to do on a hot day, especially the swim break. Loved the fact that we didn't have to deal with motorized boats on Sunday!

River Dogs was a fantastic outfitter. Very communicative and helpful in advance of the trip and throughout the day! Julia’s knowledge of the Canyon, River and surrounding area was impressive and thoroughly enjoyed learning more about her hometown. Absolutely loved the experience and highly recommend RiverDogs to anyone wanting to spend a day on the Colorado River!

Michelle and Rebecca made this adventure so enjoyable and safe for everyone. They provided a lot of interesting facts about the history of the river, settlers and what life was like in the area before the dam. I highly recommend them.FYI, they’re secretly professional photographers 😉

Our kayaking trip with our guide Michelle was amazing!!! Such a great half day away from the city to see beautiful scenery. Michelle is so knowledgeable and taught us so much about history of different areas, even during the shuttle drive from Vegas to the marina. We learned so much about the ecosystem of the river and canyons too. She also took amazing photos and shared them with the group after the tour. Such an amazing experience for beginners or experienced kayakers.
