Top Las Vegas On the Water - page 2

It’s a wonderful paddle on the Colorado River with stunning views. The trip is 4 miles round trip and an easy paddle unless the winds are high. I definitely recommend a guided tour - we had Anthony and he was great! The shuttle leaves from Mandalay Bay and is about an hour’s drive to the launch site. The cave itself is cool but, as Anthony told us, it’s more about the journey than the destination. Expect to wait (45-60 minutes) to enter and only spend 5-10 minutes in the cave itself. Overall I highly recommend if you want to get out of the city and explore the beautiful desert scape.

Robert was an absolutely FANTASTIC tour guide!! He was one of the first ones there in the morning, had all of our kayaks set up and ready to go even before the scheduled time. He was so friendly and helpful, and was a wealth of knowledge along with providing drinks and snacks! He took lots of photos of us during the trip, and send us the link within 2 hours of completion (the photos were free, too! So nice!!). We couldn’t have asked for anyone better. We thoroughly enjoyed the experience because of Robert!! Sure, you can save a few pennies to rent kayaks and do the trip on your own…but you won’t get any of the tidbits of information about the area. And THIS specific company did a fantastic job maintaining communication and making sure we were satisfied! There are SO many choices out there, but I’d highly recommend this one!!

I had an amazing time with Steve as our tour guide! I really enjoyed the scenic views and would most definitely recommend this activity to everyone. I loved the part where we actually got to walk a bit down the mountain to get a closer view of the rocks, make sure you’re wearing comfortable tennis shoes!

What an absolutely amazing hike! I went with my husband and it was actually just us and our guide which was so nice because we got to go at our own pace and actually got to go an extra mile or so. It was a bit chilly out and our guide gave us coats and waters for the hike. The mountains and terrain were stunning and we got to take alot of great pictures. Afterwards he actually dropped us at our hotel which I thought was so nice! 10/10 recommend!

Our guide was knowledgeable and made the experience even better by sharing interesting facts and history without overdoing it. It felt like the perfect balance of learning and just enjoying the moment. If you’re looking for something a little different from the typical sightseeing, this is 100% worth it. It’s relaxing, beautiful, and such a memorable way to experience the Hoover Dam from a completely different angle. Highly recommend!

We had the best experience on this expedition. The organisation was perfect, regular contact throughout, pickup on time, 2 great friendly and knowledgeable guides, Jeff and Emma made this our greatest experience. So friendly and patient, we had such a laugh, having never used a kayak before the instructions were clear, simple and the kayaks were brilliant, food was great, even went for a swim after lunch and as promised the river took our breathe away for the first few seconds but shortly after it was such a nice swim, we got back into the kayaks and wanted to swim again, would highly recommed this 🏊‍♂️. Followed by a casual row back we kind of started a massive water fight which im sorry but I definitely won 🤪 as we approached the shore where we started Jeff gave a great speech that really touches your heart and makes you understand that even with all the entainment available, a great trip through mother nature can bring you peace and sometimes thats all you need ❤️ Thank you evolution expeditions, this memory will never be forgotten. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ From your Troublesome 2 from England UK Tom senior and Tom Junior 🤪🫶✌️

Fabulous adventure and totally worth it!! Our Guide Chris made it even better by sharing his immmse knowledge of wildlife and overall wilderness living. plus he was a decent photographer AND supplied water guns to add the fun! def a must do when in Vegas or surrounding area!!

This was a very fun activity to get away from the concrete jungle while enjoying the heat! We went down for the 4 mile excursion. The good: our guide, Jessica. Was very personable and had a wonderful, outgoing personality. She included everyone in the group in having fun. She stopped and helped us take pictures of each other and even took pictures of us on her phone that she sent to everyone the next day! Jessica gave us historical facts about the area. The bad: it felt very rushed. Was not a leisurely kayaking experience. It was a get over here in 3 minutes, across the river in 6...I had never been kayaking before and found this much more trying that I thought it'd be. We weren't able to look around at the sights because of the go, go of the tour. On the way back, my boyfriend and I fell back behind the group and enjoyed paddling at our speed looking at the goats, eagles, and all the other sights we didn't get to see on our way to the cove. The cove is very small and only allows approx 10 people in at a time. There was a 30-40 min wait time for our turn to take pictures in the <5 minutes. Overall, I'd definitely do it again. Must do a tandem instead of a single. See if there's a different style group or rental that isnt so time goal oriented that would allow for more of a casual (vs feeling like a race...this was expressed by a few couples in the group) kayaking experience with a goal, ie the cave.
