Brett with Veteran kayaks was fantastic !! Introduced himself, had the kayaks ready for my kids, taught us how to get in without tipping over and then showed us how Paddle with ease. The entire tour was planned out so that we were never with other crowds. He took pictures in fantastic caves !he’s super personable and easy to chat with. It was an A++ experience. I highly recommend Brett and his company.

Our hike through the Red Rocks in Vegas was absolutely incredible! The views were nothing short of spectacular—every turn felt like a postcard moment. That said, the terrain definitely keeps you on your toes, so make sure you’re watching where you step. A huge shoutout to our guide, April, who made the experience even better. She was not only super knowledgeable about the area, but also friendly, engaging, and made sure everyone felt comfortable and safe along the way. You could tell she genuinely loves what she does. If you’re looking for a memorable outdoor adventure near Vegas, this hike is a must-do!

Nice boat ride. Very friendly staff. Good narratives about Hoover Dam and Lake Mead if you are outside of the cabin and can hear it. Wish they didn’t play music on the return to dock. The quiet while looking at the wonderful view would have been nice.

Wonderful and worth every dollar! Blazing Paddles tour guide Eugene was so enjoyable, full of info and little stories. We did the /2 day Emerald Cave Tour. We were all experienced with kayaking so no lessons were needed, but he did give little tips and offered to help with everything. I did think the caverns would be larger, or able to kayak through them. But there were lots of beautiful views with a little hike for a snack and stretch break and photo ops. Highly recommend this adventure.

Great tour, be careful with the timing and arrival. We arrived an hour early due to time zone differences but we were not able to reach out or check our booking details because Willow Beach lies in an area with no mobile network coverage. We started a little late due to this and were able to just catch the Emerald Cave lighting up in time (it was also shining low due to November) but our guide Paul made it work. Additionally, Paul was an awesome guide who provided us a lot of additional insight about the place and area, history etc. Even in November, the 85 °F were inviting us to take a swim during and after the tour which made us soak up the after-vibes of the tour experience to a maximum and made an overall awesome day. The insights Paul provided, made us want to come back for more exploration on our own or even attending the longer tour to the Hoover Dam.

Viator did not impress me, they attempted to have me change the date of my previously booked excursion the day before I boarded the plane for my vacation. I had booked and paid them 10 days prior. I had my vacation plans all in order and the reason they wanted to cancel me I was told was because I was doing the trip solo and they only wanted couples for that day. They asked that I cancel my booking, and rebook with their sister company Blazin Paddles as I was leaving to board my flight. Very unprofessional and placing their problem on me to fix. I was not agreeable or able to do that. They then charged me an additional $30 and made the arrangements for me. They required that I take an Uber to another hotel the day of pick up, never checking with the sister company who actually had pick ups the next hotel over in less than a 5 minute walk. This was an additional $27 in an uber fair plus a $5 tip for the driver, not to mention additional time and stress to get clear to the far end of the strip, and required their sister company to go out of their way needlessly to pick me up at greater expense and time for everyone. That said once I was in the hands of blazin paddles I was treated more than kindly. They dropped me off right at my hotel on the return trip home, saving me the additional expense of a needless uber ride, they provided a very knowledgeable guide of the area who made sure that we were well taken care of, with food, snacks, water, and safety. He assisted anyone that needed additional help and time so that the trip was truly a group effort. It was so beautiful and I was so glad that I went. I have not one complaint about the tour itself. The wait for emerald cove was too long and we did skip it as several other kayaking companies were in a lineup already, which was fine by me even though I had wanted a picture there, and part of why I booked the trip, but truthfully as the guide pointed out the water had the same green color and made for beautiful pictures right where we were at without the 2 hour wait in that line up. This was definitely my favorite excursion of my vacation to Las Vegas where I did many different events, experiences, and travel to the local beauty of the surrounding areas.

What an experience! Extremely well organised with lots of information provided ahead of the trip to ensure you had all the details. Pick up in Vegas was smooth with full directions to ensure location of pick up provided. The rafting was superb. Knowledgeable crew members, Victor and Russ, both transferring through the National Park to join raft. Would thoroughly recommend and was a highlight of our trip.

An amazing experience. Went today with my husband and had no idea what to expect. Our guide, Calvin, was amazing! Very knowledgeable, personable and funny! He told us about historical facts along the river and was mindful of our group and safety (including keeping hydrated and reapplying sunscreen). We had a great time and would definitely book again!
