The tour group personnel had a medical emergency prior to the start of the tour. This caused a two hour delay (understandable). The tour group replaced their injured member, then rushed us through the tour. There was little instruction, improper gear was issued to my kids (causing injuries, and a displeasure with the activity), and no breaks (a break with snacks and a short hike was part of package). The lack of breaks caused discomfort for the older members of my group who needed to stand up and stretch out their back. Improper gear and lack of breaks made what should have been a wonderful experience into a lackluster time on the water. The tour itself is beautiful, the guides knowledge of the area was excellent. The medical emergency was unfortunate and the delay understandable. The problem was what occurred after. We just felt like cattle being herded upstream. The tour ended only 45 mins later than planned which means our 4 hour planed trip lasted 2 hours and 45 mins. It wasn't a question of daylight either. I would book another trip but this one felt like work and was not enjoyable.

Hi Bobby, Thank you for your comments, we appreciate your feedback. Thank you for being flexible in the face of a true emergency with one of our staff. We did the best we could to replace them and get you on your tour. While I am sure there was an expedient nature to getting your group out as it was running so late we did not want to make your tour feel rushed or like herded cattle. This tour is, however, a 3 hour tour, not a 4 hour tour and definitely not one of our most leisurely ones. At any rate, I will be sure to follow up with your guides to find out about the improper gear that you have reported as we take great care in providing well fitted gear and snacks for our guests. I invite you to call and talk to me personally (Joyce 702-293-5026) about any additional concerns. Guest satisfaction is of highest priority. Again, thank you for your feedback.

The whole experience was amazing. Our tour guide was very helpful and super pleasant to be with. He even took us on a mini hike and we got to see some beautiful views.

My wife, 15-year old and 14-year old boys, and myself loved it! We had not kayaked before, and had not planned on it either. We were worried about the cooler temperatures, what to wear, and my wife was worried about getting in and out of the kayak. However, it all worked out great! We received a call the day before to confirm the agenda for the next day. Then Kevin, our guide, called us that morning when he was on the way to pick us up. Kevin was great, pointing out things along the way and providing details on the area, on the way to and from the river. He really kept things interesting on the drive! Heading out, we only grabbed some ganola bars for breakfast, but Kevin pointed out there was a burrito shop next to their business, so we grabbed breakfast there instead. The breakfast burritos were huge, and wonderful to eat too! There were several couples there too, who were also in there forties to fifties like us, and two of them reserved the two person kayaks. Instead, I reserved one-person kayaks for everyone, which I started to question once we got there. To paint the picture, let's just say that my wife has lost a bit of fitness over the past several years after having our youngest son at age 40. However, Kevin made her feel comfortable, coached and encouraged her through the entire trip, and she was so happy she did! And the boys loved it too!
