Tour guide was very professional, even in the face of our crude sense of humor. He was helpful, friendly, and took some great pics.

The absolute best experience I’ve ever had on a river Especially in the winter time wanna think about me is I don’t like being cold and Jeard was so calming and so informative that calmed my nerves and got me to the lake and Michelle she is one hell of a tour guide she Knew what she was doing and everything about the River, the Hoover Dam; which was Originally the Boulder Dam and I didn’t know that she answered all my questions and took photos that surprise me brought snacks literally Absolutely amazing if you’re going on any kayak near las Vegas, definitely better be with RiverDogz!!!!! and the scenery My God you could see 30 feet down in the water crystal clear and experience, Emerald CoveOnce in a lifetime experience definitely will make it there a few more times! Thank you Jeard and Michelle for an experience I can tell my future kids about 🙏🏾😇

We all had a wonderful time today exploring Valley of Fire. Such a beautiful place and not far from Vegas. Our guide Preston was very friendly and knows a lot about the area. We had a blast! Really worth the trip. We highly recommend it.
