Best kayak experience! - My husband and I traveled to Las Vegas for the New Year and this tour was our favorite part of our trip. Ryan and Faith were very great! The views were amazing we had such a good time!! Both Ryan and Faith were very professional when it came to teaching us about the safety of kayaking and we learned so much about the history of the river and the Hoover Dam!! We definitely will be coming back here in the future!!

Emerald Caves Experience - This was one of the best things we’ve ever done. Our guide Faith was excellent, very knowledgeable and friendly and sent us some great photos. We’d never kayaked before but it was all explained to us. Would highly recommend.

Total Recommend - get out of Vegas for Nature and History - Our guides were Ryan and Faith. First, the communication before the trip was helpful and meaningful to set a good date. We drove to Willow Beach (which is in Arizona - hat tip, despite it being a time zone locally, the meeting times are Las Vegas time). Great hands-on adjusting the rudder pedals to max comfort. Great guidance and information from Ryan and Faith to and from cave - and a cool short guided hike showing botany and history at a rest point. Totally recommend. Kayaking experience and reasonable shape is helpful, and essential if in a single instead of double kayak.

Absolutely Amazing Kayak Tour! - My friends and I recently went on the Emerald Cave Express Kayak Tour from Las Vegas, and it was an unforgettable experience! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, and the breathtaking scenery was worth every moment. Our coach was the highlight of the trip—super knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly enthusiastic. They made sure everyone felt safe and confident, whether it was their first time kayaking or they were seasoned paddlers. Their passion for nature and the history of the area really shone through, and they shared so many fascinating stories along the way. The kayaking itself was fantastic! The waters were calm, the views were stunning, and exploring the emerald cave was magical. It was a peaceful escape from the buzz of Vegas, and we even got some great photo opportunities thanks to our coach's expert tips! If you’re looking for a blend of adventure, relaxation, and natural beauty, this tour is a must-do. We can’t recommend it enough, especially with such an amazing coach guiding the way!
