We had a fabulous time! Julia and Rebecca were awesome. Very personable. They took lots of pictures for us and made sure we got to experience nature and all the river had to offer. Highly recommend taking this day trip if you are in Vegas! They think of everything. Thank you for the great experience for my family of 5. Be sure to watch for the eagles!! We sure saw a lot of them. 😂 🦅

The entire experience was amazing. The ride from the hotel to Willow beach was filled with a lot of history and facts about Nevada and the towns we traveled through. Michelle was very knowledgeable about the local history, the wildlife in the area. This was the first time my girlfriend had kayaked. Michelle took the time to teach her basic paddle techniques to make her successful and enjoy the experience as well. The Colorado river is beautiful as well as the rock walls and formations that are surround you the entire trip. Emerald cave was stunning. The sun reflects off the clear water into the cave creating this beautiful green glow. I would definitely take another trip with the River Dogz again. It was a relaxing and beautiful journey.

We had the best adventure with Michelle at River Dogz!! She was so helpful and informative. The whole process was so easy. We’d book again with River Dogz. Looking forward to our next adventure.

I highly recommend this trip. It was a great experience with a great tour guide. He encouraged conversation for our group so we truly felt like a team. He was very knowledgeable with using the kayaks as well as history and the surroundings.He made sure no man was left behind, so this is great for someone who has never used a kayak before.

My experience yesterday was one for the books! I’ve kayaked before in smaller areas, but never in a million years did I imagine I’d be kayaking on the Colorado River especially for 4 miles!This was a solo trip, and I definitely second guessed booking it at first. I’m so glad I did. Haley was an amazing instructor, and if I book another trip, I’ll definitely be requesting her.Everyone in my group was so genuine and welcoming. They made me feel like part of the family from the moment we met. We all came from different places and had our own journeys, but we shared an unforgettable experience together.Thank you all for making this adventure so much fun. It’s a memory I’ll always cherish! -Shaneka 😉
