An absolutely fantastic experience. The guides were spot on and you could feel their love for the area, its wildlife and their desire in making sure their guests were having a great time. Our biggest takeaway was the water. The water is amazing- clear, cool, refreshing and see through. We also saw many bighorn sheep! They also send you a bunch of pictures after your adventure. Thank you River Dogz for the memories!

We had an amazing experience with River Dogz in Las Vegas! Everything from booking to the actual tour was smooth, organized, and well-run. The scenery on the Colorado River was absolutely stunning, and the whole trip felt safe, fun, and well-paced for all skill levels.A special shoutout to our guide, Luke, who truly made the experience unforgettable. He was knowledgeable, patient, and made everyone feel comfortable from the start. He shared great insights about the area, kept the energy fun the entire time, and was especially great with the group dynamics. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does and cares about making sure everyone has a great time.If you’re visiting Vegas and want something different from the Strip, this is 100% worth it. I would definitely recommend River Dogz and especially Luke as a guide—we would absolutely do it again!

Best experience ever and one the highlights of my vegas trip. Our guide Haley was fantastic and full of great jokes while also informative of the stuff around us. Was great vibes from the start of being picked up all the way to the end of the day being dropped off. Very accommodating with the snacks and drinks as well. Recommend to any new kayakers to take this tour. Also if your reading this Haley thanks for everything and making a memorable trip, kudos 🤙

FIVE STARS. Haley was hands down the best tour guide we could have asked for! Her energy, enthusiasm, and genuine love for the Colorado River made the entire kayaking experience unforgettable. From start to finish, she kept everyone engaged, entertained, and excited while sharing her passion for the area.Originally, we planned to rent kayaks and explore on our own, but joining a River Dogz tour was one of the best decisions we made. Haley made the trip so much more enjoyable, and her professionalism and attentiveness made us feel safe and well taken care of throughout the entire journey.The scenery was absolutely beautiful, and leisurely drifting down the river with such a fun group of people made for an amazing day. On top of that, River Dogz provided plenty of cold water and delicious snacks, which were a much-appreciated bonus during the trip. If the water bottles get warm, you can hold them in the water for minute to make them cool again! It’s amazing how water in the Colorado River stays so cold and refreshing despite the 100•F weather.If you’re considering a Colorado River kayaking adventure, I highly recommend booking with River Dogz. If you’re lucky enough to get Haley as your guide, you’re in for an incredible experience!

Luke was an amazing tour guide! He was super friendly and knowledgeable about the history, geography, and wildlife! Im pretty sure he manifested the arrival of a bald eagle we saw flying around with his energy. He was awesome. Ask for him when booking your trip! This was a fabulous trip if you are kayaking for the first time.
