Best Tour in Town! We will be back!

It was so much fun! The wind was in our face the entire time making the kayak super challenging. I am always up for a good challenge. Robby was an awesome guide. He was super knowledgeable, helpful and respectful. We did the Hoover Dam tour the day before. This trip brought the information full circle learning about the lower river and the worker that measured the river before building the Dam. The hot springs were awesome and the emerald caves were awesome. The beach lunch was great! It was so much fun and will be a must do on every trip to Vegas. I will recommend it for sure! One thing I would love to see is less single use plastic. I am not sure if it is feasible, however it would be cool if you offered a BYOB (Bring your own Bottle) or 10 dollar or 20 dollar up charge for a souvenir reusable water bottle that can be refilled. Just a suggestion, thanks for the unforgettable experience!
