Book it! - Elijah and Kolby were wicked awesome tour guides. It was a smooth 1 hour ride to Willow Beach and a nice, calm kayak tour. They are both extremely knowledgeable about the area. We would not hesitate to take another tour with them again. Perfect 6am -12pm half day tour so we were able to get back in time for the NKTOB Concert.

Kayak Trip, Thanks to Elyjah - We had such a brilliant time on our first kayak trip from Willow Beach. What really made the day special was our guide, Elyjah. Right from the start, he was friendly, respectful, and just really easy to get along with. He shared loads of interesting info about the Colorado River, Hoover Dam, local wildlife, and little bits about the area that you wouldn’t read in a brochure.
Neither of us had done anything like this before, but Elyjah made us feel comfortable and confident straight away. He was calm, encouraging, and clearly loves what he does, which made the whole experience even more enjoyable.
Also, bit of a shoutout to Maggie (his mum) if you ever happen to read this: you've raised a top bloke. We were lucky to have him as our guide, and he really made the day for us.
