Half day with pick up

Don made sure our half day kayak adventure was one to remember. He had great knowledge and was supportive throughout. We had a fabulous time going along the Colorado river, taking in the sites and dipping our hands in the cool water. We had a great time making memories together ❤️🚣🏼‍♂️

Amazing experience

Absolutely amazing from start to finish. One of the best days I’ve ever had. Chelsea (the guide) was so good. Her energy never stopped and she knows so much. I would highly recommend this.

Wonderful day in the Colorado River

We had an extraordinary day kayaking on the Colorado river. Chelsea was an amazing guide! She was kind, fun, and very professional, and her passion for her work really stood out. She shared lots of interesting facts and stories about the area, making our kayak trip to Emerald Cave even more enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Vegas escape on the river

Great tour - well organised from pick up to drop off. Thank you Salah who was our guide and chauffeur. So nice to get out of the lights of Vegas and so beautiful on the river. Whilst it is advertised as a half day your when you factor in transfers it is probably a bit longer - wasn’t a problem for me but make sure you have enough time - I got picked to at 9am for the 10:30am tour and dropped back to Vegas at 3:30.

Colorado River Kayak

Super fun, Chelsea is so organised and full of positivity. It is obvious that she is a nature lover and she was so knowledgeable. The kayak was amazing and Chelsea was a fantastic guide- so enjoyable!!!
