Great experience! Kayak tour was a great way to break up our Vegas trip for enjoying something outside of the main strip we've done in the past. Tour guide was knowledgeable and made the trip fun for everyone in our group. I particularly loved the swimming stop and looking out for fish in the very clear waters. The emerald cave was a bit busy, but worth the wait to get inside. If I am back in the area I would love to try the longer tour:)

Don’t even second guess go ahead and book this tour! Rob was so nice and pickup was easy and his communication was great. The ride over he gave us so many fun facts. once we got to the river he gave us a quick tutorial and we were off! The water was absolutely amazing and the scenery was really top tier, Rob made sure even if you were a beginner that we all stayed together and had fun. We stopped for a break halfway to swim and we took a short hike to learn some more about the area and some historical landmarks and then continued to the cave. The weather was perfect, Rob had snacks and water for the group and the day really was so fun. 10/10
