Very well organised and spent a full day Kayaking, hiking to hot springs, and swimming. Guide and support team were great and always felt safe in their hands. The trip I was on was slightly different from the one listed. I stayed at Best Western in Boulder City, started the kayaking from the bottom of Hoover Dam and ended at Willow Beach. The scenary was beautiful, we paddled at a slow pace and so could enjoy the views. It was a very hot day and so hats were a must. The dips in the are a great way to cool off and so don't be put off by how cold they say the water is. If you are from the UK then you have likely swam in colder. Overall, the highlight of my holiday.

Touring with Holmes was an absolute delight! His deep knowledge of the desert landscape, coupled with his passion for adventure, made for an unforgettable experience. From navigating the Colorado River to uncovering hidden gems, Holmes ensured every moment was filled with excitement and wonder. His attention to detail and commitment to safety truly set him apart. Highly recommend embarking on a desert adventure with Holmes at the helm!

Thank you for your review! We think Holmes is pretty awesome too! We hope you can join us again soon, maybe try the launch from the dam next time and enjoy some hot springs too!

Adam was a great River Guide! He was knowledgeable about the area and its history, he was great for the folx who needed kayaking instructions, and he was super friendly. We had a fabulous time, and it was a lovely day. The only suggestion we would make, is that at the end of the day, Desert Adventures should consider having a second employee drive the shuttle back. That's exhausting for a guide to do pick-up, kayak for several hours, then drive over 2.5 hours round-trip to return following to hotels.

Thank you for your review, and recommendation! On longer tours we have separate driver for support, but each trip can vary. We love that you are looking out for our team! We hope you can come back again soon!
