Excellent service, great experience, from reservations, communication prior and during our excursion. Our tour guide Jeff was the best! The convenience of picking us up on the strip and dropping us off made this entire trip more enjoyable.
Jeff was great with conversation and informational along the ride and during our kayaking. Pointing out great photo ops and taking some for us as well.
Bonus ….The weather was perfect the entire day.

This did not disappoint, what a stunning kayak trip. My husband and I went on the half day kayak tour, with Andrew as our guide. I cannot say enough positive things about Andrew, his knowledge of the area, river and history was absolutely fascinating.
On our way back to the Las Vegas strip, he took us to a park to see the Big Horn sheep! AMAZING! 10000/10 would definitely recommend!

We went on a perfect day - minimal wind, no significant current, sunny but not too hot. Our guide, Jeff set the laid back tone, but was calmly efficient getting on and off the water. the hotel pickup and drop off was seamless and the van ride very comfortable. Jeff even stopped at a park on the way back and we could watch big horn sheep up close as they grazed on the irrigated park grass. The canyon was beautiful red rocks typical for this area, but the small "emerald cave" was almost luminescent green from the algae on the bottom lit form the sunlight. Only draw back is the popularity of that cave meant we waited almost an hour for our 10 minute visit. There were some unexpected things - Jeff pulled a small red crayfish at one of the "beaches", and we saw the walkways on the side of the cliffs and cable cars used by the early engineers when scouting the location for the Hoover Dam. Seemed easy enough for a novice like me.

Outstanding experience. Ask if you can get Chelsea as your guide, she and her partner Eugene made sure all of us were safe and that we all had a great time.

Jeff did an amazing job!! He was very knowledgeable about the area and was a great instructor on the use of the kayaks.
