Beautiful day for the activity. Kurt was a wonderful instructor and guide, great conversations, funny person, and made us all feel welcomed and cared for. He took and shared the photos he took of all of us and the videos he took beneath the surface! He made the trip fun and educational for all of us that attended and made this one to remember. Thank you so much for having us and introducing my partner and I to a new activity.!

Krisdianna...you chose a beautiful day to be on the river. It is so serene during the winter months with less crowds and water like glass. Kurt is very dedicated to providing a top notch experience for all his guests. Thank you for leaving such a kind review.

Wife and I took this kayak tour with Evolution Expedition on the Colorado River and loved it. Our guide Ryan did a great job from orientation, safety, sharing knowledge of the canyon, local flora, and keeping us on pace to experience all we could without feeling rushed. Highly recommend this tour!

Ryan is a phenomenal guide that loves sharing his passion with his guests. There is a lot to see in the canyon and we are so happy you had the opportunity to explore with us.

Booked the excursion while on a trip to Vegas. I have to say, unlike the impression I got from the pictures, the actual Emerald Cove was smaller than what I imagined, and we had to wait to get in (could only stay in the cove for a few minutes). Even though this was the case, it was still a great trip. The views while kayaking more than made up for it. Our guide was friendly, patient, and very knowledgeable. If your an active visitor, and you have never experienced this before, I would recommend giving this a try!!!

Steve we are so happy to hear you enjoyed your paddle through the canyon with your guide. We do out very best to let our guests know the cave is not something you paddle through but rather a spot to back your kayak into and get some amazing photos. Unfortunately there are many other groups also trying to see the cave so we must be respectful to them and not spend too much time inside the Emerald Cave. We appreciate you leaving us your honest feedback, come back and see us soon! -Evolution Expeditions Team
