Traveler reviews
Amazing experience!
This was our first time kayaking and didn't know what to expect. Our guide, Jonny, made everything run smoothly and had our entire group feeling completely comfortable beforehand. He is very knowledgeable of the area and history. He is also very funny and accommodating. He stopped at Boulder City on the way back to let us see some big horn sheep and take some pictures. Very nice touch Jonny! Made the day even more special. Overall a great experience. Highly recommend. Thanks again Jonny!
Perfect and relaxing
Experience was amazing, this was our 2nd time doing this tour and we would definitely do it again, our guide was awesome, super informative and funny which was a plus. The pick up and drop off was very organized and we stopped on the way back to see the big horns which was a plus. The kayaks are very well kept and the amount of time spent on the water is perfect, the pace is great as well. Will definitely do again and highly recommend this company.
Emerald Cave Kayaking
The kayaking through the canyons was amazing. Our guide was great! The emerald cave was a bit disappointing based on the photos from the internet. All in all, a great experience.
Highly Recommended
We had the pleasure of experiencing the Emerald Cave Kayak Tour in July 2026, honestly it was one of the best days of our holiday. Our guide Kwame was absolutely brilliant and looked after us all day, the river was gorgeous and calm, perfect conditions and the location of Willow beach is just lovely, so peaceful. We highly recommend this day out, even our teenage kids loved it, it’s not a strenuous workout as you go at your own pace and the views are spectacular. Again, thank you Kwame for a great experience.

It was easy to book, easy...
It was easy to book, easy communication, and a great time on the Colorado River! We opted to meet the group at the launch site since we needed to pick up snacks and drinks. The weather was quite warm, but the breeze on the water and the ability to get wet kept us cool. The trip is a down-and-back and on the day we went it was just as much work to get down the river as it was to get back - partly due to the wind. The key to not waiting in line to see the Emerald Cave is to get going early!
