This was a great kayak...

This was a great kayak tour which I highly recommend. Salah was very friendly and fun. Short trip from the Vegas strip. My wife and I had a great anniversary trip and I highly recommend if your looking for an activity off the strip!

Great side trip while in Vegas

We had a blast on our Kayaking trip. The location is beautiful. Our guides were the best - they were so knowledgeable and such nice people. Special shout out to our driver/guide Chelsea. She is a gem! The six of us all highly recommend this trip!

Don is the best !

Be prepared for a good workout. Would recommend the tandem kayaks due to changeable conditions ( wind on the river). Don is a rockstar, one of the best guides I have had on any excursion.
