Traveled with my two teenage sons and this was honestly the highlight of my trip. It was better than the Grand Canyon bc it was so relaxing, fun, very organized and good use of our time - mainly due to our guide Michelle. MIchelle took pictures of us, was so knowledgeable, attentive and friendly. Water was spectacular and a great escape from the chaos of the Vegas strip. We were given plenty of water and snacks.

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.
