Traveler reviews
Amazing communication
Communication was amazing!! We do lots of traveling and this team really follows thru with keeping you updated. Team was very polite and professional. This is a must do in Vegas
Just book it!
Michelle was a fabulous guide, from pick up at our hotel in Vegas to drop off she was full of energy and you could tell she absolutely loves her job. Next to our 3 nights in Grand Canyon Village the kayaking was one of our top experiences whilst we were there. I can’t recommend this trip enough and the water in the Emerald Cave, just wow!

Griffin was a great tour guide!
My husband and I really enjoyed this adventure on the Colorado River. While the emerald cove was underwhelming, the experience kayaking was really enjoyable. Griffin was our guide and we loved him so much! He was knowledgeable, kind, and had a great sense of humor. I would recommend any tour with this guy.
