We had an incredible experience with Lisa as our tour guide today! She was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire trip enjoyable from start to finish.What really stood out was her quick response when an older gentleman flipped out of his kayak. Lisa immediately jumped into action, stayed calm, helped him safely back into his kayak, and made sure he was okay before continuing the tour. Her professionalism, compassion, and ability to handle an unexpected situation were truly impressive.If you’re looking for a guide who genuinely cares about her guests and goes above and beyond, I highly recommend Lisa. She made our day memorable for all the right reasons. Thank you, Lisa!

Wonderful trip! It was well organized and our tour guide, Julia, was amazing and provided incredible background and historical information on the Hoover Dam, the Colorado River and even information on the many plants and animals that live in the area. We even had time for a short hike and some swimming. Loved it!

My Emerald Cove kayaking experience with River Dogz was amazing! Our guide and driver, Michelle, gave us a great tour on the drive down from Vegas, explaining the history of each location we passed. She is extremely knowledgeable of the river and had the foresight to move our tour time up a few hours earlier ahead of the forecasted strong winds, ensuring we had a smooth paddling experience. She taught us the proper way to paddle and turn and made sure the group stayed together while again giving us the history of the part of the canyon we were in during the kayak tour. She took so many pictures of the group and shared them with us via a Google Drive after the tour.On the paddle back from Emerald Cove, we stopped at a small beach and enjoyed snacks and drinks provided by River Dogz, and then took a little walk up the hill to see a historical site left behind by someone who helped plan the building of the Hoover Dam.I cannot recommend River Dogz enough. 10/10 experience and a great way to take a break from the overstimulation that is Las Vegas and connect with nature + the history of Nevada/Arizona!

We had a fabulous time! Julia and Rebecca were awesome. Very personable. They took lots of pictures for us and made sure we got to experience nature and all the river had to offer. Highly recommend taking this day trip if you are in Vegas! They think of everything. Thank you for the great experience for my family of 5. Be sure to watch for the eagles!! We sure saw a lot of them. 😂 🦅
