Great time in the sand - So much fun! They were thorough and made it a great experience. Would definitely recommend as long as you don't have black clothes on.

The morning was a prefect... - The morning was a prefect as soon as the sun came up. It was peaceful not a lot of people during that time. There was crystal clear water in the lake you could see the fishes at the bottom of the lake. I would definitely recommend.

Great trip! - Jose was our guide and made the whole experience memorable! He was on time, thorough about expectations, and humorous. He even allowed us time for several photo ops and took some pictures of us as a group. His expertise on the area and history of the area added to the wonderful day we shared with him. Highly recommend!

Amazing adventure! - Brady and Jose were amazing guides. The early morning start was well worth it. We had the rest of the day to enjoy. The views were amazing we saw mountain rams and rattlesnakes! I’d highly recommend this tour for any family couple or just a solo adventurer!

Good tour to take if looking for something short. - It was a good tour! And I found it more enjoyable, all thanks to our tour guide José, he is amazing at his job. It was my first time kayaking and it was great, he was helpful. I will say that the location is good but not the most amazing; in particular it was not the most fulfilling. Along the entire trip, the water body is wide rather than narrow like in the thumbnail picture of the tour. So, it feels more like you are kayaking between the mountains rather than like an adventure in narrow passageways. (The drive to the willow beach is beautiful if you like mountains) Overall, it is a cost efficient half day tour!

Kayak Tour Colorado River (Willow Beach) Half Day - Our Guide Jose did a perfect job. We enjoyed the half day and it was a nice tour outside of Las Vegas to see the nature around the colorado river. We can recommend it, best time for the tour was to start early morning. Pick up and drop off worked excellent. We would do it again
