Incredible time

Really fun and amazing experience. Seth is an incredible tour guide who made the experience more memorable with his personality. This was my first time ever kayaking and i could not have picked a better place to book with.

Yay team go

Easy and fun. The cave itself was tiny but the trip was doable for a not so fit 67 year old. We were given good instructions on where to meet.

Breathtaking , fun informative kayak tour down Colorado River

Andrew from Blazing Paddles was our most awesome tour guide throughout this wonderful experience. Kayak tour was absolutely breathtaking . The Emerald Cave was beautiful and Andrew took us to his favorite spots along the way. He was very in tuned with the surroundings and nature. He went out of his way to take us to a park to see mountain rams as we saw none on the paddle tour. I’d highly recommend taking this tour when in town with this company. Andrew was amazeballs!!!!! Would do again.

Amazing Kayaking Experience with Don!

We had an amazing kayaking experience with Don as our tour guide. He was friendly, patient, professional, and made the whole trip fun and relaxing. He also took some great photos for us along the way, which we really appreciated. The scenery was beautiful and the entire tour was very well organized. Highly recommend Blazin’ Paddles, and especially Don. Thank you for such a great experience!

Five stars for Blazing Paddles

Beautiful paddle down the river and to the emerald cave. It was cloudy so we didnt get to see the emerald cave shining bright but it was still a great experience. Great guide, convenient pickup, and a great day on the river.
