What a day. An experience to remember.Highly recommend

Published on Jan, 2025

Have no other word other than FANTASTIC from start to finish .Our tour guides Michelle and Hans were marvellous .They made you feel really at ease explained the agenda for the day and had great knowledge during our drive to willow beach and during our Kayaking to the Emerald Cave .We stopped for a snack break on a beach and climbed the trek behind us to experience the view.Which was amazing .I could go on and on but you need to experience it for yourself.I would highly highly recommend booking it .I am not a water person I hate boats I cant even walk beside one Im not a great swimmer so get nervous around water , but it was so easy to do and I will definately be doing it again on my next trip to Vegas.

Unforgettable experience

Published on Jan, 2025

It was an amazing experience that I would honestly do again if I ever return to the Vegas area. Our guide was knowledgeable and kind and made sure we were all well accommodated. He provided snacks and waters for us when we stopped at the beach and the hike was stunning.

nice experience and lake...

Emerald Cave Kayaking

Published on Jan, 2025

The half day kayaking tour with Michelle was a peaceful, fun experience. I was a tad concerned about the cooler temps, but was very comfortable in a long sleeve top and jacket. Don’t let temps in the 50s stop you from having a wonderful time seeing stunning views on this beautiful river. Michelle was very knowledgeable and a fun companion for our trip.

Arm and Shoulder Day

Published on Jan, 2025

Michelle, I couldn't have done it without you! Wind gusts were brutal, but when you have a guide like Michelle, anything is possible. The water was so clear and clean. The views of the rocks, birds, ducks, and THE BALD EAGLE were awesome. Emerald Cave was a good place to rest and take photos. You'll need water shoes, a towel, or a change of clothes. Everything provided was in excellent condition; kayaks, paddles, and life jackets.
