We spent a lovely day paddling on the Colorado River. The group was small. Luke was a great guide! He was very knowledgeable about the river and its history.

Ryan our guide was awesome. Easy going and funny. Also confident and resourceful on the water and land.He made it a fantastic experience for first timers. Made time for everyone. Oh and the trip itself was amazing. Water was calm, sunshine but not to hot, minimal wind. Going up and down the river with the canyon walls above was amazing. We saw an Eagle and some rams up high. So beautiful a place in the desolate desertI highly recommend River dogs and Willow beach adventure.

Had a great time on the water with River Dogz. Preston was a great guide who was helpful and patient with me as a beginner. It was a great experience and if I were to do this again, I’d return with River Dogz. Thanks guys!
