We loved this tour!! The scenery was gorgeous, and made even better by the knowledge and history shared by our guide Griffin! We had perfect timing to see the Emerald Cave, which was lucky. Definitely take the plunge into the very chilly Colorado River when given a chance!

Had an awesome time on the 3hr trip to Emerald Cove with Jessica - she was the best guide and would 100% recommend to anyone looking to get off the strip and into nature!

Our guide Griffin was personable, knowledgeable and stayed in constant communication with us from the time we booked right through the entire excursion. Would highly recommend booking the first trip of the day to avoid the crowds and to ensure you will be back before the hottest part of the day.Keep in mind that there is little to no cellphone reception, so be sure you have your transportation arranged ahead of time.

River Dogz delivered!! We had 5 people in our group (ages mid 30’s to mid 60’s),, and we all had a blast. Our guide Michelle was SO GOOD! She was patient, kind, patient, helpful, patient, and a great photographer! Did I mention she was patient? 🤪 Great day. Emerald Cave is small, but BEAUTIFUL and worth the 2 mile paddle. Michelle took great photos and provided them to us quickly after our trip.

Julie was a super fun and enthusiastic guide. She had a great understanding of history and geology of the area. I would highly recommend her as a guide.
