We had an amazing 1/2 day on the Colorado with our guide, Michelle. She was very knowledgeable and went above and beyond to make sure we were all welcomed and even made a detour so we would be able to see the sheep in the park. Would definitely recommend!

Our guide Kiley was fantastic. full of energy and love of what she does. The Colorado River is amazing. The cave did not have the brilliant green because it was cloudy but enjoyed the group and being on the water

Wonderful day on the water with a few of our grown children. It was a nice break from the energy and chaos on the strip
