We went on a family day outing to see the Emerald cave. The day was too overcast and we arrived early to see the wondrous color inside the cave, but overall was a great day. We did struggle with high wind gusts on our way back to the marina, but the wonderful team that we rented from recognized that we might be struggling and came to our rescue to haul us back safely

Excellent Experience!!!

Dustin_S, Jun 2026

Awesome experience. We did a self-guided tour but the tour guide gave us plenty of tips and information so that we didn't miss anything. The kayaks were all setup and waiting for us when we got there -very professional. All equipment was in great shape and working order. The tour guide also provided us with a cooler full of snacks and drinks. This was definitely the highlight of our trip out west.

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you for the fantastic review! We're so glad you enjoyed your self-guided adventure. Even when guests choose to explore on their own, we want them to feel confident and prepared to make the most of their time on the water. It's great to hear the equipment, setup, and snacks helped make the day easy and enjoyable. We're honored to have been the highlight of your trip out west and hope to see you back at Willow Beach for another adventure soon!

Sit on tops rentals

Jennifer_T, Jun 2026

This was the greatest rental, the people were wonderful, they provided some great snacks for us, waters, and water toys for my brothers it was so nice. And an extra oar as a back up because you never know! And life jackets! I would definitely recommend and come back again:)

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Wow—thank you for such a kind review! We’re so happy you had a great rental experience with us. We always want our guests to feel prepared and cared for, so we’re glad the snacks, waters, gear, and extra touches helped make your day even better. It means so much that you’d recommend us, and we can’t wait to have you back for another river adventure!

Awesome relaxing trip.

This was an awesome experience and I would do it again. The staff were very friendly and nice. It felt free to be in the water to explore. I would highly recommend this to all my friends

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Thank you for the amazing review! We’re thrilled you had such an awesome experience exploring the Colorado River. There’s something so freeing about being out on the water, and we’re glad our team helped make it memorable. We truly appreciate the recommendation and hope to see you back for another paddle soon!

Day trip from Phoenix

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Thank you so much for sharing your experience—it truly means a lot! We’re so glad you and your family had a great day out on the water, even with the overcast skies keeping the Emerald glow a bit more subtle than usual. We’d absolutely love to have you back on a sunnier day so you can catch the cave at its brightest—it’s a completely different kind of magic. Until then, we’re so glad you made some great family memories out there!

Comfortable tour

Takumi_K, May 2026

It was a very comfortable kayaking tour. We had plenty of time to paddle and they prepared snacks and water, so we had a good time on the river. My guide Jake was also friendly and taught me a lot of knowledge on the beach. It is recommended to wear a swimsuit, as it can be hop-on or hop-off in the shallow water of the river, or paddled. If you are unsure of your strength, we recommend a two-seater kayak.
