Self-Guided Kayak Rentals

Awesome experience Awesome experience. Ryan was an excellent tour guide. The scenery along the river was jaw dropping. Would definitely do it again.

The half day Emerald Cove kayak tour was EXCELLENT!! We opted for hotel pick up, and had great communication from Preston! The drive included some fun facts about the areas we passed along the way. The tour itself was so scenic and lovely! The snacks and water were much appreciated, and Preston shared some more history with us and took some great photos in an amazing spot! There are bathrooms at the Marina - I’d recommend bringing a second set of shorts to store in the van and change into at the end! Highly recommend this experience!

Absolutely wonderful experience. Our kayaking guide, Preston, was outstanding. Friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. His partner, Ryan, was also lovely. They greeted us upon our arrival and helped my family get settled. The Black Canyon was stunning to say the least. Gorgeous rock formations, both from the river itself and from the top of our short hike. The Colorado river was clear. There were so many areas where the light shimmered green off the river grass. We saw some water fowl, including a heron. We didn’t see any bighorn sheep while on the water but did see a family of sheep alongside the road as we were driving back up the hill from the beach . The water was very calm. My young adolescent is inexperienced with kayaking and handled the 4 miles independently very well. The Emerald Cave itself was nice but nothing out of this world. Preston did a good job of tampering expectations ahead of time, calling it the “icing on the cake.” For me, it was about the journey to the cave and back, not the cave itself, that was unbelievable. Overall, I can’t recommend both this experience and River Dogz enough. I’d love to do it again with them sometime

On a trip to Vegas I knew I’d want to get out of the city and do something in nature. The photos I saw of Emerald cave and the fact I could be picked up on the strip and taken to this amazing adventure had me sold. Michelle was great from beginning to end. I learned so much about the areas we passed through on our way out to the launch point. Michele was so knowledgeable and the history of Boulder, NV was so interesting! The kayak tour itself was perfect! Michelle had plenty of water and great snacks for us. She continued to share her knowledge of the area and the history of the building of the Hoover dam. Then, we got to Emerald Cave! It was gorgeous! I did quite a bit on my short trip to Vegas, but the highlight was easily this kayak tour! Book it now, you won’t regret it!

What a lovely experience all the way around. The company is well organized, friendly and thorough. The equipment provided was comfortable and in good repair. Preston our guide was engaging, funny, likable and knowledgeable. We will be back for the full tour.

Great time on the river. Our guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating. Plus she was just to kayak with. Thank you Michelle. Highly recommend for all levels and families. DaveR
