Our guides were Justin and Johnny both were knowledgeable about the area and Kayaking. They communicate well about the weather, taking into consideration safety of the guests. Both guides were fun and experienced. Convenient shuttle from Mandalay Bay. Highly recommended activity, will come back again!

You have to wait too long to enter the Emerald Cave. Too many groups were there at the same time. The pictures the guide took at the cave were too far away. We needed to be more at the mouth of the cave so everyone could be seen.
Derek was a great tour...

Derek was a great tour guide. Our group had a great time kayaking. Great to do something near Vegas that's outdoors!
