For a laid back fun adventure - The absolute best kayaking experience we've had. The rentals were in great shape, the atmosphere with the guides was fantastic and there was never a dull moment. The guides were attentive, engaging, and ensured that everyone was safe and enjoying the trip. We saw several other groups out there that looked just down right unpleasant. A lot of the faces looked like they couldn't wait for their trip to be over. That certainly wasn't the case for us. The tour guides, Blair and Iz, were filled with fun facts, dad jokes, random chats and had no problems being playful with the splashing to ensure we were kept cool. Although I think we totally rocked Blair - he probably would have been more dry going for a swim! Lol Highly recommend this tour, worth it in so many ways!!

This is the best tour to ouch and Ryan is the guide. - Ryan was an amazing guide. He made me feel like we were just hanging out on the river with a friend. It was a wonderful day. He taught me tricks to improve my paddling which was very helpful. The equipment was in good shape and everyone was helpful. I absolutely recommend this tour and be sore to ask for Ryan.

Venture Out Vegas team rocks! - We spent a most amazing day kayaking the Colorado and visiting the Emerald Cave with VENTURE OUT VEGAS. Blair, our guide, was funny, shared much of the history of the area with us, and quickly became a part of our family. He made sure our experience was safe, fun, and left us with many great memories. Thank you for a wonderful day!

Get away from the Vegas Strip! - We had an absolutely fantastic time on our kayak trip with Venture Out Vegas! Our guide, Blair, was the perfect mix of fun and professional. He not only had incredibly knowledgeable about the area's history and wildlife, but also had a great sense of humor that made the whole experience even more enjoyable. We also felt completely safe the entire time. Blair was super safety-conscious, making sure everyone was comfortable with the gear and the water conditions.  Getting out on the water and the stunning scenery of the Colorado River was the perfect break from the noise and lights of the Strip. Highly recommend!

Disappointing - After taking payment in full the operator rescheduled our tour but we were not able to make the alternative date they offered us. We suggested another possible date that they said they should be able to do and they said they would confirm and send details the next day but they didn’t. When I chased them up they did respond but the time of the alternative tour on the day we discussed finished too late for us and were couldn’t fit it in. As the payment had been taken before informing us it needed to be rescheduled we felt under pressure to accommodate the changes but it wasn’t possible and now the operator is refusing to refund us
