So knowledgeable and friendly, really made the experience even better! Weather was perfect this time of year!!

Haley was a fantastic guide. She was knowledgeable and fun to be around. She pointed out wildlife throughout the trip. It was a peaceful and relaxing trip down the Colorado. We self drove to the site and didn't have any issues. I like that the company and Haley kept in contact with us via text.

Our time on the river with River Dogz was great. I loved it. Beautiful. Tyler was our guide. Very friendly. He shared information on the river and on the drive he made recommendations of things to do in Vegas and places to eat. The snacks were great, nice to have fruit as an option. Plenty of water. And he took pictures of us and sent them later. It was a great experience. I recommend and would do it again.
