Venture out with Ignacio - Ignacio is now part of our family. It was a great day. We are celebrating our 25 wedding anniversary and Iggy made the day wonderful. He’s very attentive to the customer and he adjusts the day based upon customer experience etc. He was knowledgeable and knew the best places to lead us. I bet we saw around 15 big horn sheep and 1 bald eagle. You literally need to bring nothing except good expectations. Thank you for a wonderful time and for all the wonderful pictures.

Emerald Cave Kayak Tour Review - As Vegas locals, my boyfriend and I are always looking for unique ways to get out of the city and enjoy everything Southern Nevada has to offer. We decided to book a kayaking tour with Venture Out Vegas, and it exceeded all of our expectations. From the moment we arrived, everything was organized, professional, and easy. Our guide, Nacho, was outstanding. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and had the perfect balance of keeping the group safe while making the experience fun and engaging. He shared fascinating information about the Colorado River, the canyon, and the local wildlife, and his enthusiasm made the entire trip even more enjoyable. The scenery was absolutely stunning. Even as locals, we were amazed by how beautiful and peaceful the area is. Paddling along the river and seeing Emerald Cave up close was a great reminder that you don't have to travel far to find adventure. What impressed us most was how personalized the experience felt. Nacho took the time to connect with everyone in the group and made sure all skill levels felt comfortable and included. Whether you're visiting Las Vegas or have lived here for years, I highly recommend Venture Out Vegas.

Fun on the river! - We appreciated both guide’s extensive experience (Ignacio and Brandi) of the river and the route, as they were able to coordinate timing so that we arrived at the Emerald Cave when it was uncrowded, and the light was perfect. We never felt rushed, and the guides were fun to spend the day with. We didn’t need to take our phones because they took many photos which were airdropped to us on the drive home. An added benefit was that the tour guide (Ignacio) was bilingual which made it accessible to our entire group. As a bonus we saw big horned sheep and a bald eagle, which we could have missed with less experienced guides. It was a wonderful experience!

Disappointing - After taking payment in full the operator rescheduled our tour but we were not able to make the alternative date they offered us. We suggested another possible date that they said they should be able to do and they said they would confirm and send details the next day but they didn’t. When I chased them up they did respond but the time of the alternative tour on the day we discussed finished too late for us and were couldn’t fit it in. As the payment had been taken before informing us it needed to be rescheduled we felt under pressure to accommodate the changes but it wasn’t possible and now the operator is refusing to refund us
