4.00Most of the trip was great fun. Our tour guide was kind and helpful. Myself and my friends agreed that this should not be called "The Emerald Cave Tour". We were aware before we booked that the cave portion of the tour was small. But we waited in the water for at least 15 minutes to get "into" the cave area. We did a photo and that was it. You can even go through the cave area. A fun tour; but the name of it is super misleading. Maybe should be called "Colorado River Tour" to be fair.
No caves on the emerald cave tour 🤦🏻♀️

3.00There are definitely no “caves” which was extremely disappointing. There was an alcove that we backed into and took a picture in. The actual kayaking experience was good but too expensive considering all you do is paddle on a river with no “cave” experience
