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!

An unforgettable experience from start to finish! Booking with River Dogz was smooth, and Griffin truly made the trip exceptional. He was so patient, encouraging, and made sure everyone felt comfortable on the water. We learned so much about the rich history of the area and enjoyed gorgeous views including Emerald Cave. If you take this tour, you will have a fantastic time!

We had an amazing time!! Becca was a great guide and made the whole experience fun and seamless. The scenery is incredible and it was a great way to beat the heat with the cold river water. I would definitely recommend this tour to escape the craziness of Las Vegas and be in nature!
