River Dogz made it real easy to kayak the Colorado River. We reserved kayaks the afternoon before. We arrived early and were on our way in a couple minutes.This allowed us to have the Emerald Cave to ourselves.

If you’re thinking about doing a tour to Emerald Cave—just do it. Seriously, it was one of the highlights of our trip.We had Anthony as our guide, and he absolutely made the experience unforgettable. From the very beginning, he brought such great energy—super funny, easygoing, and incredibly knowledgeable. He kept the whole group entertained the entire time while still making sure everyone felt safe and comfortable.The tour itself was stunning. Paddling out to Emerald Cave and seeing that unreal green glow reflecting in the water was just incredible. You can tell Anthony really cares about giving people a great experience—he took his time, shared cool facts, and made sure we could fully enjoy the moment instead of rushing through it.And what really made it extra special: after the tour, he didn’t just call it a day. He actually took us to a nearby park so we could see Big Horn sheep up close. That was such an unexpected bonus and honestly just showed how much he goes above and beyond for his guests.All in all, an amazing experience from start to finish. Great vibes, lots of laughs, beautiful scenery, and a guide who genuinely loves what he does. Couldn’t recommend it more—thanks again, Anthony! 🔥
