It was a very elegant and relaxing time. On the day I participated, the weather was perfect, the temperature was just right, the wind wasn't too strong, and since it was a Monday, there weren't many other tour visitors, making it a perfect day for kayaking. The sunlight reflected the deep emerald green color of the river, and I was able to see all the way to the bottom very clearly. It was truly amazing. Also, our guide, Christina, was always attentive to me even though I am not good at English, which made the tour very enjoyable. I had a choice of hotels for pick-up and drop-off, but I was very grateful that they dropped me off at an unnamed hotel where I was staying on the way back. By the way, I participated alone, but the other participants were all nice people, and overall it was a very good tour!

Everything was great! Pick up was on time, technically early but so were we, drive there and back were as described. Our guide Michael was terrific at his job, giving us what to expect and telling us history points. He was the best. We had a great time!

The best thing you can do in Vegas. Everything was organized and easy. The kayaks were good shape and we stayed dry. The location was beautiful and just long enough paddle that not sick of it for a beginner. More experienced kayakers might want to consider the full day trip they offer. If you want to get away from the Strip for a bit this is the thing to do.
