Excellent tour. Well organised and executed. Ryan was a brilliant tour guide who provided lots of interesting information about the area and local wildlife. It was also extremely hot and Ryan made sure we all stayed hydrated. Would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a paddle boarding experience

The tour with Ryan, tour guide from River Dogz, was absolutely amazing! He added extra, engaging touches to the kayak trip by providing history of the area, safety of kayaking and jokes along the way. The 4+ miles kayak trip, for a novice, was very doable. We booked a later trip on Saturday and it was the perfect time because we had the opportunity to see the cove without waiting in a line. Our group of 9, including Ryan, was from all over the world and we were out of this world great!! I would recommend this outfit and look for River Dogz again.

We went on a kayak tour with Julia and had an amazing experience. She was very knowledgeable and shared insights throughout the tour. They also provide snacks and fruits mid way, which was a huge saver. Will definitely recommend.

The tour with Jessica was amazing!If you’re trying to decide between a shorter or longer tour go ahead with the longer one! We did the 4-5 hour tour and came away wanting to do the full day tour they offer.We’re not experienced kayakers at all but the route was perfect for being out on the water that long.I’d recommend checking the wind conditions of the day you book tho, we went on an exceptionally windy day so it was a bit more of a workout. Even with the wind we had a blast and want to do it next time we visit Vegas!Thank you for a great experience!!
