    Book this tour was super easy. Once we made our payment we were emailed instructions on where to…read moremeet. My husband and I went on this tour on a Sunday. We were told that the raft could hold about 32 people, but we were lucky because on tour we had a total of 17, which was nice. We were also given a bag with snacks and a bottle of water, which was great to snack on during the tour. We met our driver at the Hoover Dam lodge. There was a lot of parking available, which made it easy. Our driver was super friendly and very informative. He took us to the raft to meet our tour guide. Our tour guide wasn't welcoming to my husband and I, but as other guests loaded onto the raft, his attitude changed. As we started the tour we stayed at the same spot for 30 minutes. Our guide passed out pictures in sheet protectors and began sharing about the history of the Hoover dam. Throughout the tour, our guide was testing us about our history. We didn't know much of it, that's why we attended the tour to learn. The best part of the tour was us getting out of the raft and landing on a piece of land to touch the water and skip rocks and take more photos. It was nice to see a few mini waterfalls and even a hot spring! I did wished we went deeper into the dam, but I guess that would've been for the longer tour. Also, I wish we could've swam in the lake, but it was very chilly. It was a great experience, however, the initial encounter with our guide was uncomfortable. We learned a lot and the views were amazing.

    This was such a fun excursion. We are locals and have people visiting us from out of town. We have…read morenot done this before, but were curious about the tour - we had previous only been the top of the dam. We had a beautiful 60° day. Kyle was a fantastic guide. Really nice guy and very knowledgeable about the area. Our driver Micheal was also fantastic and helped get us oriented to the dam as we took the drive from the meet up point to the boat. Would highly recommend this tour, especially if you need to get away from the craziness of the strip for an afternoon. We did the hour and a half tour, but I think we will come back for the three hour.

    My husband and I did the full-day Black Canyon kayak tour with Desert Adventures and I seriously…read morecan't recommend it enough. I grew up in Vegas and have been on this river a ton by boat, and I've also hiked to both Gold Strike and Arizona Hot Springs. Those hikes are super rewarding but honestly brutal. This experience was completely different in the best way. Being able to get out of the river and be steps away from hot springs was amazing, and the views from the water are hands down the best. We met the team bright and early at 5:30am for launch, and everything was super smooth. They shuttled us, got us fitted for life jackets, handled waivers, and gave a quick safety rundown. Launch timing is strict because of the park service, but they made it feel easy and not stressful at all. Definitely be on time, though, because due to this strict timing, they will leave without you. The kayaks were such a game-changer. They were longer touring kayaks with foot-controlled rudders, dry storage, and actual back support. Super comfortable for me and somehow also worked great for my 6'2" husband (he had a larger boat). Since it was just the two of us, our guide Holmes customized the whole day to our pace. He took us to hidden spots I had never seen before, even as a local, and helped us avoid crowds. We did some hiking, rock scrambling, used ropes at Boy Scout Canyon, and explored hot springs that you can only get to from the river. It felt adventurous but still very safe, and he gave great tips the whole time. He also knew so much about the area. History of the Hoover Dam, plants, wildlife, etc. I learned a ton - even as someone who felt familiar with the area. This is exactly why I'm glad we didn't just rent kayaks. Having a guide made it feel like a next-level experience. We got to relax more while he handled the route and found the best spots. We got lucky with perfect early April weather. No wind, super glassy water, and we could see fish deep in the water. The 12 miles honestly felt way easier than expected, especially with how well Holmes guided us through the current so we could just float and chill a lot of the time. They also packed a great lunch, snacks, and plenty of water. You really just need a sun shirt, hat, sunglasses, swimsuit, water shoes, and sunscreen. They take care of the rest. Even though we leaned a little more adventurous, I could totally see this being doable for beginners, too. You don't need to be super athletic to enjoy it. Pickup and cleanup were easy and seamless. They handled everything while I grabbed a snack and relaxed, which honestly made it feel even more special. This was such a cool experience, and I would 100% do it again. Already recommending it to friends, and I would definitely consider doing the overnight version next time.

They provided a large trailer with ample shelves and space to put are gear onto. A safety speech was also given. This company has special authorization to enter the Hoover Dam property and take people down to launch from the entrance of the Hoover Dam. They instructed you to move quickly as there was a time limit for getting everyone/everything Into the water and away from the area. The next day, they were prompt with their pick up and helped us load our gear back onto the trailer. I would definitely use this company again and recommend them to others.

    Booking was easy and efficient--you select your day, time of the tour, number of people and type of…read morekayak for each person (single or tandem). You also provide each persons height and weight when you sign them up. I booked 2 single kayak tours for this Saturday at 9:00am. The push off location is located off of Willow Beach, at exit 14 on Henderson. If you're a local and driving yourself to Willow Beach, it's $99 for each person. They also have an option for downtown hotel pickup at either the Aria or Excalibur for $147 per person. After purchasing tickets online, I was sent an email confirming all the details for the Saturday tour. Please use the restroom before pushing off, which are located south of the beach landing area. Follow the sidewalk for about 7 minutes past the gazebos and the waterline to a small building before the marina. Meet time was 8:45 am and we were able to find our guide, Griffin, who gave us life jackets and an assigned kayak. He also provided everyone with a bottle of water and a dry bag for any valuables (I gave him my key fob because I don't pack any bags for the tour). The kayaks do have compartments with a secure lid to put a small bag in for phone, keys, sunscreen, etc...but it's suggested to back light. Hats, sunscreen and sunglasses were recommended as the sun will bake you on the lake. Lifejackets must be worn on the lake; if you don't and are caught it's a HEFTY fine. Griffin gave a safety briefing and laid out how the tour would go. Our group was 9 people plus our guide. Griffin also noted that if it gets too much for some kayakers to keep going, he's always willing to tow them. So don't worry, you'll make it back alive. The first leg of the tour is 2 miles north up the Colorado River and Griffin provided historical information about the area, spotted wildlife and provided information about them, and you eventually end the 1st part of the tour at Emerald Cove. If you don't know about this, look it up on Instagram and Google. The cove does "sparkle" when the sun hits it just right around 1-2 pm, and lasts about 40 minutes. Once you hit the cove, people do line up in their kayaks to get a picture of themselves. BEWARE If you are dying to have the sparkly photo, prepared to wait in the line for hour(s) just to get in there, and you might possibly miss it because of the amount of people wanting that shot. Launching out when we did at 9:00 am, we waited 10 minutes to get in (3 people ahead of us). By the time we left the cove, we saw around 45-50 kayakers heading down the river to this destination. So, do the math in your head. Our group piled into the cove (backwards) and he divulged the history and current pop culture of the cave. When our time was up in the cave, Griffin provided everyone with photo opportunities of their smaller groups. He took photos of every family unit individually for them and said he would send the photos to the phone number of the person that booked the trip. The second leg of the tour begins by heading back (south) in the direction we came. On the way back, we crossed the lake and headed to a beach for a break and snacks. Once out of our kayak, Griffin supplied the entire group with granola bars, chips, and extra water bottles, and we were allowed to swim and relax for about 15-20 minutes. Griffin also brought extra sunscreen for reapplication for the group. The kids were busy finding crawfish in the sand and had a lot of fun on the beach. Some of the adults and kids did get into the water for a "cold plunge" to cool off, as it was starting to get hot at this time. The water in the lake is 52-54 degrees, so it is cold, but I highly recommend just getting in and doing it because it WILL cool you off for the second leg of the 2 mile trip to home base. After snacks, rehydration, and cleaning up trash, we were back in our kayaks and launched off for the remainder of the trip. Griffin again provided historical background of the lake, canyon, and how it connected with the Hoover Dam, which was SUPER interesting. On the way back, our group also spotted 2 bald eagles. They were very hard to find at first but Griffin was extremely patient and helped everyone identify them. By the time we were 3 miles into the trip heading back to home base, the lake was packed with paddles boarders and kayakers. It had to have been around 11-11:30 pm. At around 12:15pm, we finally made it back to the landing beach where we started, pulled our kayaks onto the beach with assistance and handed over our life vests. Griffin thanked everyone for coming and gave out additional water bottles to anyone that wanted them for the car ride home. Griffin was absolutely professional, informative, funny, patient, and took time to answer questions, engage with all of the families and made sure our experience was amazing. Tips are customary and recommended for these tips of excursions, so please be thoughtful. I highly recommend River Dogz and Griffin as your tour guide.

Our guide, Michelle was incredible (ask for her if you can!)--she knew everything about the history, plants, and wildlife, and made the tour so much fun.

Overall, such a great experience-- my friends after seeing the pictures are ready to start booking the first of the year. We are excited if you are thinking about doing this ---- absolutely do it.

Carlton was our Captain & got there a little bit earlier to watch the required boat video when renting a boat. It must be watched everytime even if you've seen it before. Has important rules & info. when out on the lake. We paid $650 to rent a pontoon boat that fits no more than 10 people. Dogs are counted as 1 person per dog. The marina provides life jackets that they will fit you for to get the correct size & must be worn while in the boat. No glass is allowed. You can bring your cooler and there is a small store that sells lake essentials from sunscreen, rope, floats, drinks, alcohol, snacks, ice cream, water shoes, flip flops, towels, etc. Things are a little pricy but it's OK if you forgot something important @ home. There are bathrooms with real flushing toilets at the docks with some lockers upon entering that you would bring your own lock to lock your belongings in. Free of charge. They also have wheel chairs & wheel barrels for you to lug all your items to your boat....free. Staff has always been nice & friendly. They all seem to really enjoy their job. We always make sure to bring a big trash bag to collect our garbage while out on the boat & there are dumpsters/trashcans to drop off on your way out. Please DON'T litter. We have always been able to find nice spots to park the boat @ for the day & hang in the water around our boat. We usually go out about 45-60 minutes away from the docks. Keep track on how long it takes you to get to your chosen spot so you can plan on having enough time to get back by the required time. Gas is included in the rental price & staff fills the boats back up so you don't have to worry about taking the boat to do that prior to returning. This marina isn't far from Henderson area. I live near St Rose Seina hospital & per GPS takes about 30 minutes to get there. I've only been out once this Summer & I'm so sad that was probably it for this Summer. It's such a nice & relaxing day. Don't forget your sunscreen as it's a "hot" toasty day hanging in the lake all day. The pontoon boats do have a partial cover to sit under to get some shade. Grab your friends/family for a nice, relaxing day on the lake! Be careful, be smart when it comes to hanging out in the lake & boating. Have fun! Thank you for this privilege!!
