Great chance to experience nature!

Great experience! Our guide was very informative. We had limited days in Las Vegas, so I wish we were back about an hour quicker (start to finish from hotel pick up to returning was 7 hours total for the half-day tour) but it was such a fun time with my husband. I would definitely consider doing this again!

Superb!!

This trip was the absolute best!! Our guide was so knowledgeable of the area. She was very patient and took her time as we floated along to make sure everyone was together and able to listen. The views were spectacular!! We will be doing another River Dogz adventure as soon as we can!!

It was a magical adventure. Suitable for a first time kayaker. Preston was a great guide. Transportation from The Strip was a breeze.
