Vegas trip highlight!

Kimberly_C, May 2026

Our sunset kayak tour with Evolution Expeditions was easily one of the highlights of our trip! From the very beginning, the communication and customer service were exceptional. Chad contacted us ahead of time to make sure we had the correct kayak selected, dinner choices submitted, waivers completed, and all meetup details confirmed. The day of the tour, he followed up again with a more precise meetup time. During our conversation, we mentioned we were taking a Lyft, and out of genuine concern about us having transportation afterward, he arranged transportation to and from the meetup spot for us. Huge thanks to Chad for going above and beyond! Our driver, Jeff, was right on time and made the ride enjoyable by sharing fascinating history about Las Vegas, Hoover Dam, and Lake Mead along the way. Once we arrived, we met our guides, Soren and Calvin (who was shadowing on the tour). They were fantastic! They gave clear safety instructions and made kayaking approachable and fun, even for beginners. Along the tour, we learned about the geography and history of the Lake Mead area while taking in some absolutely stunning scenery. The experience itself was unforgettable. We paddled to an island, enjoyed a delicious deli dinner, watched the sunset over the water, roasted marshmallows around a campfire, and then paddled back under the stars with lights attached to the kayaks. Such a unique and memorable experience! This tour was absolutely worth every penny and is something I would highly recommend to anyone visiting the area. If you’re on the fence, book the sunset kayak tour. You will not regret it!
