A truly wonderful day on the river! All the staff at Desert Adventures were so friendly, helpful and accommodating. Good communication before the trip and we were picked up at the exact time from a Las Vegas strip hotel by one of the guides Gabe. Our river guide was Neil, he was great fun, and he knew so much about all the geology and nature of the area and took great care with all health and safety procedures. We couldnā€™t have asked for a better guide. Stunning scenery, crystal clear water and so peaceful and quiet. The hiking to the hot springs was easy and the springs were very hot and just amazing. A couple of windy areas gave us some hard kayaking but with Neilā€™s encouragement we got through it. A whole dayā€™s paddling is a good work out! Plenty of stops along the way for drinks and snacks and photos and a big tasty packed lunch. Recommend wearing a pair of training shoes you donā€™t mind getting wet, we were provided with 2 dry bags so there was plenty of room to store and keep dry our rucksack and essentials on our kayak. We had never Kayaked before so were very apprehensive of doing this trip but are so glad we did it and so glad we did the full day, it was the highlight of our Las Vegas holiday. Thank you to all at Desert Adventures.

What an amazing experience. You start at the base of the Hoover Dam and it gets more impressive as you go along from hot spring, to caves, to the unbelievably crystal clear water. Our guide, Antonio, was so knowledgeable about the are and was able to tailor the tour to our group. We even saw a bald eagle! Highly recommend.
