5.00Our tour guide was lovely. Explained the history of the canyons and the colorado river.she taught us first timers how to paddle the kayak, how to get in and get out of it, how to stay and how to prevent being overthrown. We had a great time. My husband tends to speed up, miss nicole very patient and kind about it. I get to swim in the cold ass colorado river. What a beautiful, beautiful, awesome experience. Highly recommend this company to tour you around lake mead national recreational area
