This group was fantastic! I have mobility issues and they were so accommodating. Great snack during rest stop and an added bonus of receiving photos later that evening. Thank you for a great experience.

Julia and Gabby were excellent guides! They took good care of us throughout the kayaking experience, and the trip was more meaningful with their knowledge about the geology, history, flora and fauna around the area. Caught a glimpse of mountain goats, an eagle’s nest and many ducks racing across the river! Loved this trip!

Rebecca was an amazing tour guide she helped new comers enjoy kayaking and truly shared her passion for the area. There is more to Vegas than the strip and this is a must do
