Fantastic adventure - Fantastic adventure! I checked out several other companies before choosing Ez Kayak, including LVCKC, Blazin’ Paddles, River Dogz LV, Evolution Expeditions, Desert Adventures, and even Willow Beach Marina. In the end, Ez Kayak Tours and Rentals stood out as the best overall choice — best value, best service, and best experience. I brought my wife and two children, and this will be a memory we’ll cherish for a lifetime. We’re non-swimmers, but the guides made us feel completely safe and at ease the entire time. I kept searching for the best things to do in Las Vegas with family and “kayaking near me,” and Ez Kayak kept showing up — now I understand why they have a perfect 5.0 rating. The Emerald Cove cave itself is overhyped, so skip the line if it’s long, but the Colorado River, scenic views, and wildlife are absolutely incredible. Willow Beach is stunning, and being just 45 minutes from the Las Vegas Strip makes it the perfect outdoor adventure. This is a truly family-friendly experience that I’d recommend to anyone visiting Las Vegas!

Best Tour company ever - EZ Kayak Tours was the best experience ever!!! The booking with Gio was easy. He reminds you of what great customer experience used to be. He was communicative and made sure all our needs were met. Our schedule had to be adjusted due to expected winds that day. We finished our tour in beautiful weather. On the day of the tour, our guide Dave, was the best. He provided us with hats if we needed, water and later snacks. Myself, my daughter and a best friend kayaked out to Emerald Cove and then stopped to enjoy the view at Bob's beach before paddling back. If this 73 year old great grandmother can do this, so can you and I recommend you book with EZ Kayak Tours. Thanks Gio and Dave for helping us make wonderful memories. Just so you know, I don't give out fantastic reviews easily. You guys made it fantastic.
