Easy to book, clear directions and expectations for the day. Got picked up from Mandalay Bay, quick 1hr drive to the destination.
Tour guide Juston was AWESOME! Very knowledgeable about the area and history. Super personable with everyone and very patient when it came to participants who had never been kayaking before and needed some extra support. Fairly easy paddle out, nice snack/swim/hike break.
Main restrooms & gift shop close at 3:30, but there are another set of bathrooms

We had a lovely day kayaking on the Colorado river. The views were gorgeous. Perfect paced trip. Juston, our guide was great, friendly and full of cool info about the area.
Highly recommend this tour!

I’ve always wanted to go to do this kayak tour! Although it was not the time to go, as our guide said the best time to go is during the summer to fully experience the beauty of the emerald cove, it was still a wonderful experience paddling through the beautiful scenery with lots of wildlife that we don’t normally see. Juston, our guide was the best and made the tour enjoyable with his friendly presence, humor, and fun facts! Will definitely visit again during the summer.

Be prepared to paddle for 4 miles….It was well worth it to see the Green water at the cave….Robby took the time to point numerous things….He was fantastic
