Amazing - Pretty fun time, definitely think it was worth every penny if you’re trying to get away from the city and be on the water. My biggest fear was it'd be a short 30 minute experience but nope we were on the water for about 3 hours and loved every second of it. We stopped at 2 different places hiked up a hill to get some photos and learn about the history then we went to the emerald cave. I would definitely do it again 10 / 10. Eddie also was a really great guide you could tell hes passionate and really cared about kayaking and his business on the water and that extra care makes the experience even better.

One of the best tours we been on! - Eddie was absolutely amazing! Instructions were sent ahead of the tour day via text message and were super helpful in finding the location. The tour size was small, just my partner and I! The kayaking was so beautiful. Eddie took lots of photos and videos for us. And when my phone did not receive the photos via airdrop he even sent an iCloud link so I could download. I would definitely book another tour with this company.

A memorable family experience - We had an amazing time with Eddie! He was always making sure we were ok and we definitely felt secure with him. Our first stop on the river was a little hike up to a historic cabin. Before and afterwards we jumped into the river to cool off. Then we got back into our kayaks to the cave. The emerald cave is beautiful. Eddie made sure to take photos of us in the cave. He was super friendly and personable. I highly recommend booking the emerald cave kayak excursion with Eddie!

MUST DO tour if you're visiting Las Vegas! - Eddie was absolutely fantastic guiding our tour with my mom and I. He was incredibly patient, kind, and helpful despite her being nervous about the paddle. He tooks great pictures and some video for us also. We enjoyed being able to get out of the kayak also to visit the historical site. Lots of great information, beautiful views, and a leisurely pace that worked well for our group. I cannot recommend this tour enough!

Amazing experience, would recommend to everyone - Eddie is an amazing guide, we had a problem with the initial booking and he handled it very nicely. He provided non-alcoholic drinks and snack bars throughout the journey. He gave us interesting facts and was patient with our pace. Could not recommend him enough!! Thank you Eddie :)
