Adventure kayaking in Colorado River - Jeannie arrived on time at the assigned pickup site. She was friendly and personable. We enjoyed the adventure kayaking in the Colorado River, beautiful sunny hot weather not windy. Jeannie always made sure that we were safe at all times. Recommend that you wear proper water shoes, wear sunblock, hat and water due to hot conditions. Thank you for the adventure!

Awesome experience outside of LV!! - This was a great experience!! The ride out was a cool way to see outside of LV as you head south toward AZ. The lake was very cool and the water was so refreshing on a hot day! Jennie shared some cool facts about the lake as we made our way out to the half way point. She’s an expert kayaker and I could not have felt safer being a solo rider. Didn’t hurt that we had perfect weather with a bit of an overcast sky reducing the heat. I also liked being in a small group. I would definitely go again!

A Must Do Activity When in Vegas - Very fun experience! First time kayaking for me and the guide made me feel very comfortable and safe. I am so thankful to have made this memory with a dear friend on a road trip to Vegas. We rented a car and drove to the Hoover Dam and then on to Willow Beach. Give yourself extra time to get there and get parked.

Best thing to do - It was so fun! Our tour guide Juston was very nice, helpful, and funny as well! He stayed with us the whole way, didn’t leave anyone behind. He was also very knowledgeable about the area and history of it as well. I’d do it again in a heartbeat!
