We did the half-day...
We did the half-day Emerald Cove kayaking tour with Adventure Child and had a great experience. It was a hot day, but the water was refreshingly cold and made for the perfect outing.
Our guide, Gino, was outstanding. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone in the group was comfortable throughout the trip. He shared interesting information along the way and took photos for everyone, which was a nice touch.
What really stood out was how proactive and helpful he was on the water. He assisted a group whose canoe had overturned and filled with water, helping empty it and get them safely back on their way. He also helped another group whose paddleboard had blown away in the wind after they fell off and weren’t tethered. Without his quick response, they likely would have lost the board.
Gino’s professionalism, attentiveness, and focus on safety made the trip even better. Highly recommend Adventure Child and, if you’re lucky enough to get Gino as your guide, you’re in great hands!

Awesome experience - but physically demanding
This tour was exceptionally beautiful. We had such a great experience with our tour guide, Rich. He was very helpful with our kayaks, super friendly, and made sure everyone got the experience they wanted.
We had two tandem kayaks with two adults and two kids (ages 9 and 11). This is a physically demanding experience - 2.5 mile kayak each way to the canyon and 40
Min to 1.5 hr hike on very hot sand into the canyon. Or you can choose to stay where we docked the kayaks and swim if you don’t want to hike. The walk up and down the dock to the kayaks is also pretty steep after a long kayak trip. It’s 100% worth the effort if your crew likes physical challenge.

Great kayak tour on the Colorado River!!
Beautiful day on a stunning river with a very knowledgeable guide! Josh was our guide and did a fantastic job with this tour. He gave us a wealth of information about the river, the wildlife, vegetation and history of the area. Josh was also very conscious about
safety standards and took some great pictures for us!

Great times!
It was a great experience, it was my wife and step sons first time on a kayak, we got a little tutorial how to paddle, get in and off the kayak and how to avoid injuries in terms of rowing, the “cave” we actually passed by due to us thinking “that can’t be it” as we passed it due to it being so small, we went an additional mile still beautiful if you go further you will go come across an entire empty place where echos sound pretty awesome, I will say the only down side is that there were tons of mosquitos, bring repellant, and have proper form or your elbows will hurt, over all beautiful we saw 3 big horn sheep, you can’t swim by the shore where you take off with your kayak, so make sure to stop further up stream at some spots to jump into the water, definitely go again.
