We had such a brilliant half-day kayaking trip with River Dogz and would absolutely recommend it.Julia was our guide and she was fantastic — friendly, knowledgeable and really informative without it ever feeling like we were being given a history lesson! We learnt so much about the area along the way, which really added to the whole experience.Everything was really well organised and the little extras were a great touch too. Snacks were provided and there was genuinely no shortage of water, which was very much appreciated in the Nevada/Arizona heat!The whole trip was relaxed, fun and really well run from start to finish. We had an amazing time and it was definitely one of the highlights of our Vegas trip.Thank you Julia and River Dogz!

Preston was wonderful! From our hotel pickup until our kayak experience was over. He has a great personality, shared some history along the way, had snacks and made sure we all had some awesome pics to take home! Loved the trip! ❤

Michelle was a great guide and very patient. I also love the communication from booking to day of Someone always checks in with you and lets you know whats up and the meet instructions were spot on exceptional !!! Michelle was kind enough to let us know there was no phone reception at meet spot and she even took pictures of us on the adventure. She got some great shots very happy 🙂 Thanks Michelle and Company 🙂

I am so glad that we decided to take this kayak trip on the Colorado river, exploring its beauty around the Willow Beach and Esmeralda Cave. We are very grateful to our guide, Julia, for all the information shared with us about the area, for the memories and her patience with our obvious lack of paddling skills.

My son and I Booked the Emerald Cave tour with River dogs. They picked us up at a hotel down the street. Our tour guide was Julia and she did a great job telling us about the history of the the area. This was one of the highlights of our trip!
