Wild West Sunset Horseback Ride with Dinner from Las Vegas

Maristhyl_T, Apr 2026

Great experience

Our experience at this place was fantastic! My friends and I thoroughly enjoyed our first horse riding experience. The staff, particularly Allen, was incredibly accommodating. He picked us up, cooked us dinner, and drove us back to the city. Jason was also very helpful, providing us with all the necessary information. I highly recommend this place.

Small Group Guided Colorado River & Emerald Cave Kayak Tour

Jeela_S, Apr 2026

Best Part of our Vegas Trip

My family and I had the best time on this guided kayak tour of Colorado river and Emerald cove. Our guide Brett was fun, funny and super experience and knowledgeable. To start the communication was perfect. We received text messages with reminders and directions and times. Brett made sure that everyone was accounted for, but we never felt rushed. It was a beautiful day; we got beautiful pictures and amazing memories. I would recommend this kayak trip and even say it is a must do on your next trip to Las Vegas.

Grand Canyon/Hoover Dam day out

We had an amazing experience with this tour company from start to finish. Everything was well-organized, and the entire tour ran smoothly, which made it easy to just relax and enjoy ourselves. A huge part of what made the tour so memorable was our guide, Bobby. He was absolutely fantastic—funny, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable. He had a great way of keeping everyone engaged while sharing interesting facts and stories that really brought everything to life. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does, and it made all the difference. If you’re considering booking a tour, I highly recommend this company—and if you get Bobby as your guide, you’re in for a great time!

Red Rock Canyon Sunset Horseback Ride and Barbeque Dinner

Liz_D, Apr 2026

Beautiful adventure!

I / we absolutely loved every part of this experience! The van picked us up on time and at location by Ceasers (they have a few pick up points) and rode out to beautiful Red Rock. The horses were saddled up and waiting , covered area and obviously very well taken care of. The chefs were waiting to verify our selected meals and to introduce themselves. We had a safety meet with the wranglers and then paired with our friendly horses or mules. They were all very sure footed and had moved at a nice stroll through the paths as we went single file along the trail. Had some picture moments and then returned to the main area where we had our most fabulous meal!! Steaks and sides served hot and delicious!!! They do have other protein options but most went with ribeye or salmon. Had a marshmallow roast after dinner and then loaded up in our van to return to the hotel. Absolutely recommend to anyone to do this adventure!

Fun friends activity during Vegas trip

Great service; they were respons9ve and helpful. The trip itself was fun, educational and memorable. It was a wonderful break from the normal routine. It was perfect way to get exercise in during a "Vegas weekend". The scenery was beautiful and we got to see a desert bighorn sheep!

Wild West Sunrise Horseback Ride

I truly enjoyed the morning horseback ride! The scenery was beautiful and never having been to or seen the desert it was truly amazing! The horses were well trained and the cowboys were very friendly and knowledgeable. After the ride we had breakfast, hugged baby goats and learned how to throw a lasso! There was even a rouge horse that joined us on his own and he fell right in line with the other horses, so it was most certainly an unforgettable experience 🩷

Extraordinary Tour

Our guide for the day was Eric and he was absolutely amazing!! Very very informative with not only Grand Canyon knowledge but also of the areas to and from the canyon. Aside from that my wife lost her wallet outside the lodge and Eric went above and beyond to help locate it and once it was found to take the time to retrieve it on a return trip and bring it back to our hotel. Truly an incredible experience and one we with always remember!!

Red Rock Canyon Hike with Transport from Las Vegas

Demetra_C, Mar 2026

100% worth every penny.

It was amazing. The guide (Javier), was so very kind and helpful. He brought plenty of water and snacks for everyone. He was very attentive and made sure everyone was moving through safely. This was my first real hike, 4 hours in the Vegas heat is no joke but I would do it again and again. This was something that I believe everyone should experience at least once in their life time.

Ultimate Outdoor Shooting Experience in Las Vegas

ShaDz, Feb 2026

Adrenaline Heaven 10/10 experience. A shooters dream. No experience needed.

Man, what more can I say. This experience was everything you could imagine and it was no short of an exhilarating feeling. The team from Gary the driver, to the Adrenaline Mountain boys Jerry, Joseph, Andre and the full team. If you have a day to spend in vegas, please tick this off. They have more than shooting, and the best full packages for all things adrenaline pumping and testosterone filling. From viewing the environment, driver providing amazing fun facts, the squirrel mountain, and the amazing care of the team, they made this experience one to remember a lifetime. Get away from the strip and into the desert and plan a great day at Adrenaline Mountain. I shot all things from handguns, snipers, shotguns, assault rifles, heavy machine guns for all of a shooters dream line up. Never held a gun before or seen a real one before. 10/10 experience and thank you again Adrenaline Mountain!

Las Vegas ATV Tours

Sahil_K, Jan 2026

The best in Las Vegas

We had an amazing time ATV riding! I went with my friend and the whole experience was pure fun from start to finish. Our tour guide, Alex, was an incredible person—super friendly, professional, and made sure we felt safe while still having a blast. He explained everything clearly and kept the energy high the entire ride. The trails were exciting and the experience was unforgettable. Definitely one of the most fun activities we’ve done. Highly recommend this ATV tour, especially with Alex as your guide!

2-Hour Exotic Car Driving Experience in Las Vegas

Peter_C, Dec 2025

Best bucket list item ever!

This is definitely one that should be on your bucket list if you drive a car. There is a smorgasbord of exotic supercars to choose from, including ones with a top speed of almost 200mph. I chose the Mercedes AMG GT R (198mph) and my partner chose the Austin Martin (195mph). After a two lap run to learn the course we were set loose in our cars with an instructor who coached us on when to brake, when to stand on the gas, and what line works best. They video your run with views out the windshield and of your face. I don't know if the metrics show on the video or not, but it would be nice to know how fast I was going. The track is 1.3 miles long and has 10 turns, including 2 hairpins. The longest straightaway is just over 1000 feet, so standing on the gas during that stretch is mandatory. All in all, the adrenaline rush is out of this world and the desire to get back behind the wheel immediately is overwhelming. We did this for my partner's birthday and she said it was the greatest gift ever. Definitely take a spin at Exotic Cars Speedway.

Grand Canyon National Park South Rim Bus Tour from Las Vegas

Dawn_S, Nov 2025

Grand Canyon tour

The Grand Canyon tour was awesome! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and told us lots of history along the way. We got to stop at several places along the way to get refreshed and also stopped at the birthplace of Route 66 in Seligman, Arizona. The Grand Canyon was spectacular! An amazing creation; so vast and beautiful. We had a great driver and tour guide who took good care of us. We made several spots throughout the park. I would highly recommend this tour. It was well worth it! I was do excited to see the Grand Canyon for the first time!
