Visiting in the winter was a risk we were prepared to take to take, and it was so worth it. The sun shined, it was the perfect day and we had a great time. Preston was very knowledgeable, kept it light and fun and made everyone feel comfortable. We would recommend this to all our family and friends.

Michelle, our tour guide was so friendly and knowledgeable! Not only great at giving good kayaking tips but also fun hearing about the area and hover dam! Was a fun group of people too. Highly recommend this tour! Half day was just the right amount for my mom but I think I could have gone longer it was so much fun and lots to see. Yummy snacks provided too.

Our family enjoyed the trip so much. Even though it was January and overcast it wasn’t that cold. Not a lot of kayakers during this season which made our trip faster as far as road traffic and going in the cave. Our guide, Ryan, was fantastic, He was so patient and very friendly. When I booked the trip, we didn’t know that we will be hiking to an elevated spot which showed us an awesome scenic lake. I recommend RiverDogz in booking this trip. They are very professional and kept on communicating via text and email.
