Loved it!

Absolutely incredible experience! Justin the tour guide was amazing and had some fun jokes. 10/10 would do it again for sure.

Well worth the money

This tour was well worth the money. Our guide Jonny was very entertaining and educational from pick up to drop off. I went solo and the group that I was with were awesome and friendly. The day of, Jonny text everyone detailed instructions on how to get to the pick up. I was staying at the Luxor hotel so I took the free tram from there to mandalay bay where the shuttle pick up was at

Great times!

It was a great experience, it was my wife and step sons first time on a kayak, we got a little tutorial how to paddle, get in and off the kayak and how to avoid injuries in terms of rowing, the “cave” we actually passed by due to us thinking “that can’t be it” as we passed it due to it being so small, we went an additional mile still beautiful if you go further you will go come across an entire empty place where echos sound pretty awesome, I will say the only down side is that there were tons of mosquitos, bring repellant, and have proper form or your elbows will hurt, over all beautiful we saw 3 big horn sheep, you can’t swim by the shore where you take off with your kayak, so make sure to stop further up stream at some spots to jump into the water, definitely go again.

Reliable and professional

Reliable company for rental (and guide) of kayaks and paddles. Good instruction. This is the second time we have booked with them

Pure Peace & Paddles

Everything was smooth and easy from booking to being dropped off at the end of the day. There is a shop at the marina where you can buy water shoes/shirts/waterproof bags/sunscreen/hats etc. If needed. Our tour guide, Zen, was fantastic! Super chill with lots of knowledge and he really made our day feel special with some awesome surprises along the way! Can't thank him enough for a lovely last day of our holiday. As first timers, the kayaking instructions were super clear and we were in the water in no time, the journey up the river was so peaceful and the views were stunning. Zen even pointed out lots of views and cool facts on the roadtrip to and from Willow Beach. You really are in great hands and in for an epic day from start to finish, thank you!!
