We had a wonderful afternoon on the Colorado River with Preston our guide. He was patient and super relaxed with the group. He knew a lot of interesting facts and was able to get the inexperienced people to keep up with everyone. He made easy conversation with all of us and helped us really enjoy the beauty of the area! Loved it!

Preston made sure we all had a great time on this tour! He was an excellent guide ensuring we were safe, while also providing history of the surrounding animals, plants, and structures as well as showing us the best views. He really cared about ensuring our experience was memorable and also went out of his way to connect with, and get to know the members of the group!

What an awesome experience! We were looking for a nature cleanse midway through our Vegas vacation and we couldn't have asked for anything better. Preston made everything from the pickup at the hotel to the drive to the beach launch to the kayaking and even the hiking amazing. We had a fabulous time on the river and will definitely book an experience with River Dogz again!
