10/10 - Highly recommend, especially if you’re doing 3+ days on the strip. Our guide Johnny was also the exceptional.

Amazing - Easy pick up, great driver/guide, Robby is enthusiastic and helpful, makes sure you’re going okay, funny and nice to chat to. He stopped on the way back at a random park just so that we could see some of the wild bighorn sheep that were there. It was incredible and a memory for me forever. The canyon itself is absolutely beautiful and the whole trip from start to finish was easy and enjoyable. Thanks so much for an experience I will never forget.

Great experience. - The kayak experience was great. The view was absolutely beautiful. We did not upgrade to include a tour guide. I don’t regret it. The tour guide is not needed. The kayak path was easy and there is no way you can get lost. The only disappointment was that we were not told a list of things to bring until 1 hour before the pickup time. By that time, we were already on our way to the meeting point so we were not well prepared. Poor planning on the part of the tour operator.

A Kayak Ride - A 2 mile kayak ride up river to a small cave and then back. Not as impressive as the pictures suggest, but still a nice day on the river.
