Our group had an absolute blast with River Dogz! From start to finish, every staff member we encountered was friendly, helpful, and accommodating. A special shoutout to our guide Ryan — great energy, genuinely passionate about the area, and took the time to customize our experience and share local recommendations that made the trip feel really personal. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a fun, well-run adventure in Vegas!​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

This was truly an amazing adventure!! The river is so beautiful in this area, with so much to see along the entire route. The geology of the area has very rocky formations shooting out with both indigenous and new vegetation growing near the bottom along the river, so interesting to see. The river is extremely cold like just melted snow cold at 53 degrees, but refreshing from the 110 degree heat! Saw lots of wild life; mountain goats, eagles, turns, ducks, fox! Our guide was so knowledgeable about everything in the area and along the route from the Vegas pickup point! He was very caring about the whole groups ability levels to kayak and never rushed anyone or anything. Absolutely great trip to relax and see nature, take pics! Bring sunscreen, trip has much water and great snacks for all!

Phenomenal experience. Views are incredible. Water felt great in the summer heat. Seeing ample wildlife, although not guaranteed, was a great perk!!Michelle works year round to make outdoor tourism in the Vegas area an outstanding experience. She is a gem!!!
