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!!

I bought a Groupon for River Dogz and I wasn’t disappointed! Such an easy process. Set up the time and headed to willow beach. They were nice and informative. We did a self guided tour and with the 3 hours given it was perfect. Would recommend family and friends to them!
