If you have ever wanted to do something in Vegas that is fun outside of hanging on the Strip and gambling, Venture Out Vegas is a great place to start. My husband and I along with two of our friends were joined by just two more people for a group of six for two guides, Blair and Daniel. We saw other tour groups with 10+ people but these guys try to keep the groups small even moreso during this time due to COVID-19.
The weather was hot, 110 degrees but the water was cold so it was so nice being out in the water. They take their safety seriously, kept their nose and mouth covered when we first met and got fitted for lifevests, and reminded us continuously throughout the tour to re-apply sunscreen and drink water. The tour normally includes lunch and roundtrip transfer to your hotel but these were not included due to COVID-19, this was fine for us so we just packed some sandwiches, and had a rental car to park at the area no problem.
Be sure to NOT WEAR COTTON like I did (I didnt read the FAQs on the website like I should have LOL), bring sunscreen, water (although Blair and Daniel had both on hand in plenty), snacks, water shoes, and lip balm. (Go-Pro is optional but highly recommended for awesome shots)
The emerald cave is absolutely beautiful, there are plenty of spots to stop and swim (which we did), and Blair and Daniel know all the hidden spots that other tour groups dont stop by or know about. Youll also see some wildlife, learn about some of the history, and get a good arm workout.
When you meet these two youll see right away they were very down-to-earth and honestly just good, hardworking guys. And if all of the above didnt sell me, our kayak flipped over due to some waves from speedboats going by and I had a hard time breathing in the water from cold water shock (and Im a swimmer mind-you) and I started hyperventilating. Blair and Daniel kept the group calm, together, and helped me get to shore and warmed up (to regulate my breathing) all within minutes.
There is a reason this business is 5 stars all the way. Although this tour is a little pricier than others, its worth every penny due to the professionalism, smaller group, exclusivity, and level of safety.
