First of all, Preston was an amazing tour guide. Very passionate and knowledgeable. Secondly, OMG! Even in the winter cold, we had such a great time kayaking the Colorado River. It was peaceful & scenic & a great outdoors experience to do if you're visiting Vegas/etc. Will do this again!!! ***They offered plenty of snacks (chips, protein bars & bananas) & waters. Plan to get in the water to get on the kayak! Take your Chacos/water shoes, extra clothes, maybe a towel, waterproof bag & phone lanyard, sunglasses, hat and sunscreen. They have a store there incase you forget any of these items.

Such a fun and unique experience ! The waters of the Colorado river were calm as a lake. Julia was AMAZING and you could tell she really enjoyed what she did. Practical tip : Bring slippers or sandals and a change of clothes. I went overboard with the kayaking on the return from the cave and drenched myself considerably.
