Carlene and the crew at River Dogz was especially helpful with frequent texts & the ability to call if needed for updated information. There were even options for purchasing any items forgotten (ie: sunscreen, water shirt, phone protection water bags, etc) on their website. When we arrived at our alloted time the team member was super friendly and provided a lot of easy information on using the equipment. He provided suggestions on where to explore & stop during the kayaking adventure. The equipment was in good condition, easy to use and safe. Everything was smooth and easy using this Kayak company. 10/10.

River Dogz was great to deal with. From the initial contact through the whole tour they were great. Grif is a great guide. Very personable and knowledgeable. The trip was a nice relaxing paddle. A couple miles up the river with a snack/ swim break and a couple miles back.

Our guide Ryan was great! Very informative and personable. He took time to talk and kayak with all of us. He also took lots of photos during the trip to share with the group. Lots of fun!

Best impromptu find ever. Came to Las Vegas for a show but this was the highlight of the trip by far. Griffin is an amazing guide. Perfect way to spend the day. I would recommend this to anyone.
