Such a great float trip! I would totally recommend it, though I might suggest a warmer month. We went in December, and we were pretty cold by the end. We did get to see some great features of the area (a hike in geothermal springs up to a geothermal pool, some cool caves, lunch on a lookout with an amazing view, some wildlife, etc.). Speaking of lunch, it was better than most you get on trips like these. Each one was individually packed and pretty good. And our Guide (Luke) was amazing - he even brought hot chocolate for a break. He was engaging and knowledgeable about the area, and he had eagle eyes - which is the only way we spotted most of the wildlife we saw. Luke was also watchful of the group, making sure people were staying safe and having a good time. About half way through the trip, the weather turned unexpectedly. The winds picked up, and I think we all knew we needed to move it and get off the river before dark. As the only female paddler (with a less than awesome back), I was slowing us down, so he offered to tow me. I didn't want to accept that offer, but to his point, better to get out safely with no injuries than be proud about it. So I agreed and helped as we went. That was a good call. We made it safely with no incidents and with time to spare. I've been on several trips where the guide was not as in tune with the change in circumstances, etc. I appreciated Luke's easy way to taking control of the trip without inciting panic or lessening the experience. I'd highly recommend this trip.

My husband and I went on the 12 hour Black Canyon Kayak Tour with Desert Adventures. Luke was our tour guide. We can say without any hesitation that Desert Adventures is the best tour guide we have ever used. The entire trip was planned out-from gear to food to supplies-all we had to do was show up! But not only that, Luke had thought of anything additional we might need and brought his own supplies to keep us comfortable. He had extra snacks if people were hungry, blankets and extra clothing if people got wet or cold, and was so knowledgeable about the area that he could answer any question any of us had. We also learned so much from him as he pointed out history and information about the geology and ecology of the area. One perk of traveling with Luke is that he brought his Go-Pro camera, took video and pictures throughout the whole trip, and sent them to us. The photos he took are phenomenal. We would highly recommend Desert Adventures for any trip they provide, and are planning to come back next year to do the three day two night camping trip.

We were picked up and dropped off at our hotel. This made it convenient as we didn't have to deal with driving in the traffic congestion. We launched at the base of Hoover dam, we were the only ones on this tour so it made it even more personable. Gabe our guide was very knowledgeable in local fauna, geology, and history. We made 4 stops one was st a mine with a hot spring the interior was really neat with the mineral deposits. The second and 3rd stops were at hots springs with short easy walks at each of our stops. We didn't bath in the hot springs as the air temp was mid 40s. We were the only ones on the river for the first 9 miles till we almost reach our final destination. We highly recommend doing the tour with Dessert Adventureas they were very responsive to our needs, thanks Gabe for a great time.
