I loved the kayaking but the tour arrangements and execution were mediocre at best. Guide waiting for 30 min for a couple that never showed up which the instructions were clear to be at the location at 9 am. When we arrived at the beach he spent long period of time doing warm up exercises and”teaching us about kayaking”. During our time on the water he was loud and didn’t really share too many points of interest. He did have water and bananas but the tour took so long we really should have been told to bring more food. Once we docked and were told we had 10 min to change clothes etc- he didn’t give us access to the van to get our change of clothes. We waited another 20 min or so for that access. Everyone decided then they didn’t want to wait another 10-15 minutes to leave. The tour description said 4-6 hrs w travel and we were every bit of 7 hrs. Van air conditioning didn’t work on trip
Back- now it was 113 outside. Recommendation make meeting time for summer tours like this 7 am so you are out of the mid after heat and people can plan on timing. Guide tried to be funny but it just didn’t work!

The scenery was beautiful! We did single kayaks for teenagers, but my husband and 11 year old did a double thankfully because the wind gusts would have been too difficult for her to row alone. Take a ziploc bag for your phone and key fob. Our guide, Justin, was great! He gave a lot of history. He took pictures of us in the cave and sent to us via What’s App, so make sure you download that app.

This is my second time on this tour, and my favorite activity in Vegas during the hot summer months. The water is a cool 55, so when the sun is baking just drag your hands in the water or dunk your hat for cold invigoration! 4 or 5 miles round trip, it’s a perfect length to keep from tiring out or getting bored. We saw 5 big horned sheep, turtle, and a bald eagle that lives in the canyon. Johnny was such a fun, friendly, and knowledgeable guide. When done, you can swing by the marina shop for a celebratory beer,or ice cream if that's more your style. A perfect way to spend a day with plenty of time to hit the strip after for the evening. Great tour team, see ya next summer!

We had a great time kayaking and swimming. Beautiful views! Our tour guide ,Tyler, was great! He was very friendly and knowledgeable. The only negative thing I have to say is based on the name of the tour I thought we’d actually go kayaking in a cave area. When really you just backed into a small cave to take a photo. Overall it was a fun excursion. I am not an experienced kayaker and I had no problem navigating this in a double kayak with my sister.

We were late to our reservation and the instructor was incredibly rude when we caught up to them and were supposed to join the party. He was very rude and unpleasant when we attempted to catch up and join.

We loved the scenery. Bring your own snack. Our company we rented from said snacks are provided but they weren’t offered on our trip. They did offer water however you’re going to need fuel for the way back as there are strong winds which we weren’t forewarned of. We mentioned this afterwards. Apparently our guide brought snacks just didn’t offer them to us. Upon our return, they said we can take the snacks with us. However, we decided to tip and go get our own food. Our guide was informative with the history, but not as attentive to the guests needs as he should have been.

Great! Jonny was fabulous and was very knowledge throughout the entire trip. It was very hot so he made sure team morale was up by splashing us in good spirit. Fun experience.
