Las Vegas Paddleboard is the best! Another mountaintop experience! - Once again, Las Vegas Paddleboard provided an unforgettable experience for me and my 3 kids (ages 9, 15, and 17). This was our second time hiring them. The first time, we hired Nicole and Josh to teach a group class on Lake Mead to our teen homeschool group. The blend of physical challenge and magnificent natural wonders immediately had me hooked! We hired them this time for the Willow Beach to Emerald Cave tour. With both events, they were early, prepared, professional, and patient. Safety is always a top priority; participants are required to wear life jackets and utilize ankle leashes. I never felt unsafe putting my kids in the water with Nicole. Though the 4-mile trip was physically challenging, I never felt unsafe or insecure with having my 9-year-old in the water with Nicole. The river was very calm; almost like a lake. (They won't take people out if the winds are too high and I highly recommend a no-wind day). We quickly realized that she would rather paddle from a seated position, so Nicole adapted by offering a different style of paddle. She also "towed" her behind when she got tired and offered oreos (her favorite snack) when we were waiting in line to see Emerald Cave. The scenery is something I will never forget. This particular tour is truly a mountaintop experience!

- This is a must do tour! My girlfriend and I had such a great experience paddle boarding the Colorado river. Our tour guide made it so easy to just pull up and hop on a board! The paddle out and back was relaxing and enjoyable. Emerald cave was beautiful and we were able to get many photos and take a swim! 10/10!

SUP - This was the best part of our trip! Nice peaceful day away from the strip. Paddleboarding on the Colorado River, the water was so clear and the views were amazing. The caves were really cool and we made it at the perfect time we got to enjoy them all to ourselves. Lots of nice swimming holes along the way to cool off too. Nicole our guide was great, telling us all the history of the area, taking amazing photos for us and truly making us feel very comfortable like we were going paddleboarding with a friend we have know for a long time! We will be back next time in Vegas! Thanks for the amazing experience!!

Scenic Paddle - This was our second time out with Las Vegas Paddleboard and it was a blast! Nicole got us to the cave at a good time to see it. Neat side hike from one of the beaches to see ruins on an old work area with a walkway built into the canyon wall. Amazing sights! I enjoyed the WaterWoman SUP boards they offered so much that I bought one at the end of the trip. Can't wait to take it out again.

Amazing river day - This was the highlight of our vacation. Paddleboarding down the river and seeing the wildlife and the scenery was something you have to experience. And Nicole our guide was fantastic. I can't recommend it enough
