The river and cave was beautiful! Our guide, Preston was great and shared history about the area we were in all along the way! He was very good at giving initial instructions and making sure all were accounted for- highly recommend!

I went to Valley of Fire. This was the second time I did this tour with Riverdogz and I would do it again. Haley took us to the best places.

This was such a fun day. Although we had a stiff wind on our return, we loved the rugged beauty of the canyon. Seeing some wildlife was also a treat. Our guide Jessica was thorough in her instructions, and her friendliness and enthusiasm added to making this a memorable experience. I was a bit disappointed to see another kayaker from a different group catch and play with a small lizard before tossing it into the water. Such interactions with wildlife is not cool, and should be addressed to those who visit.

Our family had an amazing time on this kayaking adventure! Our tour guide, Preston was great! We had a pretty decent size group and had a few people whose kayaks flipped and he was extremely helpful each time. I would definitely do this kayak tour again and I highly recommend it for anyone coming to visit Las Vegas and want a change of scenery in nature.

The absolute most amazing adventure! Michelle was the best guide. She captured tons of memories for everyone. Sent all the pictures to you. She was so knowledgeable of the whole area. Snacks and water were provided. The scenery was breath taking. One of the best experiences of our whole Vegas trip.
