This trip was awesome! One of the highlights of our trip to Vegas. I've been to Vegas many times, and didn't know kayaking on the Colorado was a thing you could do. If you are active and like outdoor activities then this is a must do! Our guide was Faith. She picked us up in a van at the Bellagio. She was knowledgeable about the area, personable, and friendly. Pro tip: go on a Sunday or Monday. Motorized watercraft are not allowed on the river on these days (we got lucky).
Great Kayak tour with our guide Calvin! Long drive to WIllow Beach at Lake Mead but definitely well worth the experience! Perfect weather, crystal clear emerald and blue water, but rather chilly water - 51 degrees! Calvin was very professional, friendly and informative about the area and Hoover Dam.
Booked a kayaking guided trip to Emerald Cave for myself and a few friends. We were throughly impressed with the smooth training and organization of the Evolution Expedition team! Our guide, Chris, was funny and charismatic the entire 4 mile trip. He was informing us of all the wonderful history of the area, as well as the local wildlife. We spotted a bald eagle even! Definitely recommend water shoes or cheap tennis shoes for this!
An easy 5 out of 5 stars! This excursion was one of the best parts of my "first time in Vegas" adventure! The others would be Cirque du Soleil "O" and the Sphere. This was a wonderful getaway from the hustle and bustle of the strip, the heat and all the concrete. If you can request your guide, ask for Faith. She was easily an 8 out of 5! She reached out to us and told us exactly where to meet her to be picked up. Then she gave us lots of cool tidbits as she drove us to their headquarters. There we had a chance to use the restroom and it was also where I had a chance to purchase a waterproof (which also floats - very important!) enclosure for my cellphone. From there we proceeded to our launch point. We met up with a few more people who drove there themselves to the launch point. Together there were 6 kayaks in our group led by Faith. The weather was perfect. The water temperature was around 50 so it was quite chilly. But with the heat, it was welcoming. The kayaks were cool because they had a rudder at the back controlled by foot pedals making it much easier to steer. Faith led us on a paddle up towards the Hoover Dam stopping a couple times for a break and lunch. Our excursion doesn't take us all the way to the Hoover Dam. We kayaked about 2 miles up the Colorado River and then back. The scenery driving to the launch point is rather dismal with nothing green, just brown desert. But on the Colorado river, it was amazing! I will cherish the views and the pictures forever! One of the highlights of the excursion is the "Emerald Cave". Hate to disappoint, but it's not much of a cave (a little bit of false advertising if you ask me) but rather a large hole in the side of a mountain. BUT we did get to see the phosphorous algae at the bottom that gives it it's famous emerald glow. Faith said it's most prominent around 3 in the afternoon when the sunlight hits it just the right angle and it was not 3 o'clock when we were there but we still got to see it a little. Then Faith said to paddle straight across the river to the other side for a surprise. Apparently the way the rock is shaped at that area enables sound to echo up to a mile away. We all shouted "Hello" and we could hear the echo a fraction of a second behind us. You have to experience it to appreciate it. Before the excursion you get to pick out a sandwich lunch which we had at one of our stops. It was September and it was still hot enough where (Faith said) if you leave your chocolate chip cookie in the sun for a few minutes, it will taste freshly baked! She wasn't lying. After lunch we did a very short hike to an elevated spot where the view was breath taking! We also got to see some sheep, a rattlesnake (which is always in same spot) and a bald eagle (very far away) up in the rock face. We had "water guns" in our kayaks and we got to shoot each other with that freezing water. In the heat, it felt good. We saw other groups also kayaking and paddle boarding, but there were no motorized crafts on the water that day because it was Monday (also on Sundays). We were lucky because it would've broken up the peaceful quiet of the trip on the river. Unless you kayak or paddle every day, you'll feel it in your upper body the next few days because you do kayak for a couple miles. After returning to the launch point, Faith brought us to a welcome center type area where you can buy souvenirs and then it was back in the van back to Vegas. Faith was amazing guide. Knowledgeable and so nice. She's so good at what she does. If we ever go back, I want to go on this same excursion again! I highly recommend this company and ask for Faith!
Such an awesome tour! My LV friend had a student from Japan and he wanted to go kayaking so my friend booked via TripAdvisor. Faith is the best guide! She called and gave us detailed instructions on parking and meeting. Faith adjusted our kayaks and gave us instructions. I've always been an outdoorsy person and have kayaked before, but these kayaks they had, had petals to steer left and right! So much easier than traditional kayaks! As we paddled through the river, Faith pointed out wildlife that we, ourselves, would probably not have spotted. She also had plenty of interesting facts and information during our trek. The cave was underwhelming. It was a small cave and it didn't "glow" it's pretty colors. This only happened when the sun hits it just right, it was still amazing to see and get to go through nature. But.... The opposite side of the cave is another cave that if you yelled, it would echo through the whole canyon, now that was spectacular! I would do this tour again and do their other tours!
We are home and adjusted after what can only be called a trip of a lifetime and the highlight was this Kayak trip launching from the Hoover Dam on 4/16 with Faith as our tour guide. Our family of 4, 2 teens and 2 over 50, wanted an adventure and got one. From the amazing feeling of being on the Colorado River and sitting in a kayak while the Hoover Dam soars above you, to the amazing hot springs, the wildlife and the challenge. It was 12 miles down river and on our trip, the wind was not our friend. But Faith made it amazing. She is not only knowledgeable of everything along the river but gave us tips on battling the wind (stay close to the canyon). She took photos of us, taught us about the wildlife and the foliage and engaged everyone of us. Including the teens, if you have some, you know how hard that is! She had us tap into our inner self and listen to the canyon and waters, find strength when the wind was hard, saved a hat or two, let us enjoy the hot springs and a dip by me in the cold Colorado, and encouraged my kids to have a water gun fight at the end. This was a huge huge hit with them. Overall if I could give more stars then 5 I would. Thank you Faith and Evolution, this was an amazing adventure and has encouraged us to kayak more at home and become our own local experts! We highly recommend this trip and especially Faith to everyone.
I loved this trip! Beforehand, I had so many concerns. Am I too old (66), it's too hot (110), I'm a beginner, I'm bringing my grandson! Believe me all of my concerns were quickly put to rest. With Chris's instruction and vote of confidence, we were soon leading the pack! The water is smooth and cooling. There are plenty of breaks. The crew is friendly and well organized. I recommendation wearing suv protective clothing and a hat. It was a beautiful day!
First time ever kayaking & had such an amazing experience ! Starting off with Marnie who booked us, she made sure all my questions were answered and was extremely sweet! We got there a bit late but Ashley, Anthony and Charlie immediately introduced themselves & made us all feel so comfortable getting strapped in and explaining everything clearly. During the ride, they made sure we were good the entire time & even towed my friend and I when we were running a bit behind lol and made us feel safe when the wind picked up! Thank you guys for today, this was one for the books and definitely coming back !
I booked a random kayaking tour through Groupon. It was around $80-$90 per person for estimate 3 hours tour. It was like 90 degrees plus outside at 9am. Our tour group was about like 15-20 people. The moment you on the water, it got so much cooler and the breeze was so nice. They also provided bottle of ice water and snack during the tour, which was awesome and very thoughtful. staff: friendly, polite and helpful, some are funny too. Definitely recommend t hi s company when you go to Lakemead for water activities.
This is a well run organization with knowledgeable and friendly guides. They have excellent equipment and supply you with water to drink. Our guide Skylar was engaging and full of facts about the nature in which we were immersed as well as history, both local and as related to the Hoover Dam. We were treated to a mini hike which included snacks, water, and an elevated view for some amazing pictures as we paddled to the emerald cave! Not settings aside the time to go on and expedition with this outfit while you visiting the are is truly a missed opportunity!
I cannot thank Burton, our tour guide, enough! He made this trip so memorable and filled with so much knowledge of the river and the area itself! I selected this tour guide because all the other ones did not allow my active 4 year old to join. Evolution Expeditions had her size life jacket and her little patter to help out. We were given plenty of complimentary snacks and drinks, including Capri sun for the little one! Burton was well equipped for our tour. I highly recommend this company and support our local tour guides!

Had an amazing time on the river. Very professional, made everyone feel safe and relaxed. I highly recommend Evolution to anyone in the Vegas area. I will go back for a day on the river every time I am in Vegas. Thank you so much Evolution. read more

my family and I started with a hike with Thomas. He was exceptional! He had so much patience with us and our silly questions. We actually had deep conversations and I hope he enjoys his trip coming up! He was so sweet and carried my mom's backpack and was so patient with her when she needed it because she was scared of heights. He even offered to carry her!! Candace was our kayak host and she was absolutely phenomenal! Not only will I have such amazing memories and inside jokes, but it was one of the best days ever. She knows how to make each trip personable AND keep it professional at the same time! She is a breath of fresh air! Highly reccomend Thomas and Candace! Couldn't have asked for better guides or people to kayak with. Truly a once in a lifetime experience and I wish you both the best! You guys are GEMS! It was a 3 mile hike and 8 mile kayak and I was extremely worried! But my family and I did it! The Hot Springs was amazing and I couldn't even go to the hottest one lol. It ranged from 106 degrees to 111 degrees on the day we went and I stayed in the 108 degrees the whole time lol. The emerald cave does not have emeralds but the color of the water is beautiful and it is a great experience to experience with your group. It is very homely in there! I loved the historical sites along the way like the cable car and the pathway the man walked when he was evaluating the lake. There isn't one thing I didnt love about this trip! HIGHLY RECCOMEND!!!! read more

Amazing experience! Views were incredible and the tour was well organized. Anthony was our guide, and he did a fantastic job. We did the "Kayak Hoover Dam with Hot Springs from Las Vegas" tour, which was 12 miles - definitely a workout, but totally worth it for us. Something to consider when you book if anyone in your group would not be able to handle such a long trip, the company offers shorter ones. The river is very calm, and Anthony provided great instruction, so even the person in our group who had not kayaked before was able to catch on quickly and have a great time. The tour company also provides all water and food, and there was plenty for everyone. Would highly recommend! read more

My wife and I booked the 7 hour Hike Hot Spring Kayak tour as part of our 4 day Vegas vacation at the end of March 2019. This was by far the highlight of our trip. We were on the fence about doing this tour package or the 7 hour Hoover dam but we're very glad we selected the one we did. The tour we took not only included a 8 mile kayak trip down the Colorado river, but also a 3 mile hike through Arizona's White Rock Canyon. Both the hike and kayak are doable for anyone in decent shape. Most of the hike is rolling hills and it seemed a bit more downhill making our way to the river. And since you start the tour with the hike, it's early in the morning when the weather is still cool. If you're looking to do one of the longer tours, the Hike Hot Springs and HooverDam are going to both be awesome choices. You get to experience alot of the same stuff e.g. emerald cave, hot springs. The big difference I believe is that with one, you start off right at the Hoover Dam so you get that view and you paddle for 12 miles. The other (and the one we did), you start off 3 miles from the river in White Rock Canyon and hike down to the kayaks where you paddle for 8 miles. We're glad we went with the hike as we felt it was a more immersive experience. Plus it was nice to break up the trip with a hike and not just do paddling the whole time. Our tour guide Laura was fantastic. She was so knowledgeable and such a great guide. You could tell she really enjoyed her work and being able to share her passion for the outdoors with us. (Note: Guys, if you have the means, please tip your guides.) In summary, Evolution Expeditions (and our guide Laura and guide in training Miranda) provided an amazing lifelong memory of our Vegas getaway. Doing a tour like this is a great break from the typical things one does when visiting Sin City. It's also a great way to burn off some of that buffet you had the night before! read more

What a great day led by great guides. Anthony and Elina! I had a friend in town and decided to try out Evolution Expeditions for an Emarld Cave trip because they came highly recommended by co workers at the hospital! Our staff will be using this trip as a bonding and relief time out post covid so I tried it out and it was definitely worth it! No experience kayaking needed, take your time and enjoy the beautiful scenery, fresh air and friendly helpful staff! read more

Highly recommend this adventure! Booked the 4 mile Kayak tour to Emerald Cave. Our tour guides were "T" and Ray. They were very knowledgeable about the area and experienced Kayakers that helped us have a great time. We had 3 kids with us and 2 of them were on one person kayaks (both kids were 15 yrs old). They were patient with them and helped guide them to the cave. read more

Just finished the full day, 12 mile kayak from the Hoover dam to willow beach. What an awesome day! Michelle was great and we were so lucky to basically be on a private tour with her. We stopped at a couple hot springs, the sauna cave, the river surveyors home and a great beach for lunch. The water was cold, crisp and perfect under the afternoon sun. We skipped the emerald cove (line was long and we had already seen so much!) and saw a bunch of baby big horned sheep. Definitely recommend this adventure if you're up for the 7 hours on the water. We loved it! read more
I did a kayaking trip with Evolution Expeditions in September 2008. It was a super day. Since they have their home in Summerlin, their first stop for pick up is at Red Rock Resort. I drove there and parked in the garage. They arrived right on time, and one person from the hotel went with me as the van took us to the Hacienda Hotel where the groups get their paperwork in order with the government person. This is necessary because of the heightened security at the dam. From the Hacienda, we were driven to the launch area just south of Hoover Dam along the Colorado. It was a wonderful morning with lots of sun and little wind. There are several stops as you make your way from hoover Dam to Willow Beach in Arizona--an 11 mile trip. The first stop is at Sauna Cave, a long test boring done before the dam was constructed. There is very warm water that steams up camera lenses quickly, and for some people, claustrophobia may be a problem. Sauna Cave is only a 1/2 mile or so down the river. The next stop is lower Goldstrike Canyon. There are several hot springs in the canyon and a few warm waterfalls. There is one area where the water temperatures are about 110 degrees. Goldstrike is only a few hundred yards south of Sauna Cave. From here, you kayak 3+ miles to the Arizona Hot Springs, which is about 4 miles from the beginning of the trip. Here you get a chance to climb up a new ladder that goes to the hot springs beyond this waterfall. Since I got careless before arriving here, my camera got wet when I tipped my kayak getting out and I have no photos from here on except the ones when I hiked to the Hot Springs. After the springs, you travel 3 more miles and then stop for a lunch break. After the lunch break, the trip continues downstream where you can see Emerald Cave and then the river gauging system before finishing the last two miles to Willow Beach. The Evolution van will be waiting. You just get out, go get a soda or snack, and they load the kayaks onto the trailer. Then they drive you back to your hotel. This was a super day. It is a great way to spend a day enjoying the scenery near Las Vegas. From the look of the photos already posted, I went the wrong day. (Big sigh!) :) read more

I booked a kayaking tour to emerald cave for my husbands birthday and it was beautiful. My only regret was booking the 7:30am due to the fact once you are in the cave you can't see the beautiful green water that you see in photos. It's recommended to go in the afternoon. Candace our tour guide was amazing and funny. She showed us how to kayak and made sure she interacted with all the participants. Overall great experience! read more

We celebrated our 1 year anniversary kayaking on the water and it was a beautiful sight. The drive was about 45 min outside of vegas, nice easy drive. We pull up to the location which was super easy to find. We connect with the team and they are great from start to finish. They are friendly and crack pretty fun jokes too. I also love that they share historical information about the area too and you walk away with neat random facts that are fun to share. So the activity is pretty neat and most body types and ages can do this activity. Our group ranged from 20s-60s and managed with ease. We took tons of great photos and enjoyed every bit of the adventure. Totally worth it and a perfect activity for special occasions, a nice relaxing day or group activity. Little tips- -Make sure whatever shoes you bring, that they can get wet -They provided snacks but doesn't hurt to bring small things (fruit, snack bars etc) - water proof phone case (they gave us ziplocs too) -don't bring a lot of stuff with you. Not much storage area - take pics. Especially black and white. read more

My family had a great time kayaking in the Colorado River with our guide, Jonathan! He made the trip fun and educational, and I can confidently say that I left with more knowledge about reptiles than with which I came. Definitely made the experience a memorable one. Hope to see him again next time. Thanks again for the good time!! read more

We spent a weekend in Vegas and wanted a break from The Strip. Evolution Expeditions provides a few hiking trails and kayaking trips. With only about 4 hours to spend in the morning, we opted for the Emerald Cove tour. BREATHTAKING! Spectacular scenery with a later start, Evolution Expeditions provides just what we needed to reset the mind and body. The Kayak Emerald Cave tour paddles onto the Colorado River at 11:00am starting at Willow Beach, Arizona. If you are looking for a relaxing and peaceful kayak trip, book on a Sunday or Monday, the river is reserved for non motorized vehicles and is much calmer and relaxing. A shuttle service was also provided from Vegas, and it was super convenient. Our tour guide was Michelle, and she was so intelligent and caring during our trip. I will book again! read more

I live here and had two friends visiting and decided to do a kayak tour. I selected to self drive at the meet up point which is about an hour away from where I live and about half way there you lose service and once you arrive, it's pretty hard to find where they were but with a little driving around and spotting the many kayaks, it didn't take us long to figure it out. The kayak tour to emerald cave was absolutely gorgeous. Weather was well in the 100's but the water was perfect and cold that it balanced out the heat. Our tour guides (can't remember their names) were great and was there to help when you need it. There was always one at the front leading and one at the back to stay behind for the ones who were a bit slow (me!) Would definitely recommend this trip to anyone looking for something to do outside of the strip. Las Vegas has so much potential outside of the strip, and they also provide a shuttle too! read more

THEIR ENTHUSIASM WAS CONTAGIOUS (Warning: Young adults from Central Florida in for vacation) They picked us up from our Strip hotel in a large, comfy van and drove us the one hour to Willow Beach Marina. Our group was abnormally large for them so I don't know if their team normally consists of ~5 guys. But these young guys seemed to genuinely enjoy escaping to the water. They enthusiastically took photos of our group during the course of the trip- individual photos too!- and would happily give photo tips for the landscape. ALL-INCLUSIVE TOUR Hubs and I are already kayak nerds so we barely listened to their one-on-one instruction, however several in our group had water fears and a guide stuck to them patiently. We were provided kayaks (with the ability to use your feet to steer!), life vests, snacks, water... just bring additional snacks if you need. We stayed on the water a couple hours. TOUR WAS A BIT DIFFICULT TO HEAR The times we entered the shallow cave or entered the short hike, it was easy to hear the guides. However there were a handful of times they were trying to point out sights to us along the river- because of the wind it was a bit difficult to understand... and we were often the closest to them! The tour is what makes this different than just a more expensive kayak freely sailing around- so I hope those further back understood. read more

My first time kayaking couldn't have been with a better tour guiding company. Laura was our guide and incredibly knowledgable and patient with me as a beginner. She took us on a four mile kayak and ensured we found all the right overlooks for a great photo. We checked out the beautiful emerald caves and the gauger station, which looks still completely in tact (so cool). In addition, she checked on my group of 4, ensuring everyone was okay and had enough water. It was generous and great guest service. Very pleased, very impressed. read more
This was definitely one of the highlights of our Vegas trip. We took the excursion back in November 2018 so this review is a little late. However the memories and feelings of how wonderful this trip was are still fresh on our mind. We decided on the 3 hour Emerald Cave tour since it'd had been a few years since we'd kayaked. We were glad we did at the end, cus wow! It took some endurance to propel ourselves 2 miles down and then 2 miles back up. The current was moving a bit so we were able to rest if we got tired, but it still took some sweat. it was a warm 74 degrees and the water was around 53 degrees. This was the perfect combo because whenever I got a little hot I could just dip my hands in the water to cool off. Water and snacks were provided and greatly appreciated. Candace was our guide and a great host. She was personable and friendly from the moment she picked us up until she dropped us back at the hotel. I enjoyed learning about the area and she was very knowledgeable during our mini hikes up the trails about flora and also animals we could see during different times of the year. On our ride back she actual took a small detour so that we could stop at a local park where bighorn sheep like to hang out since we didn't get to see any during the kayak trip. I loved that EE provided a stress-free tour. We didn't have to worry about transportation, snacks or equipment. We were able to just show up and have fun. If we're ever in Vegas again, we will definitely use them. read more

We took a 4 hour kayak trip to emerald cave with Johnathan and Anthony (? I'm so bad at names hope I remembered!) and they were absolutely amazing. They were well informed on the environment, they told great stories and made us feel safe and comfortable. Anthony even took my phone and captured some great pics and videos, which is always nice cuz we didn't have to ask and feel like a burden! We had an amazing day and don't think we could have picked a better company to hit the water with. Thank you guys so much for making our anniversary so special read more

Our church youth group went kayaking to the Emerald Cove as an activity. We had about 20 people. We had such a great experience! John and Michelle were awesome guides. They were knowledgeable and very helpful. I loved that they had snacks and water for the entire group. They had single and tandem kayaks. The 3 hour trip was the perfect amount of time. I would definitely recommend this!!! read more

Nothing but great things said about this company. I would give this company a 1000/1000 if I could. The service was beyond superb. I was honestly expecting this kayaking/hiking expedition to be just par, but my girlfriend and I had one of the best vacations because of this 1 day trip we took with this company. She had made reservations a week prior to our Vegas trip. Not many people see Vegas as an adventurous and outdoorsy place because Nevada is known for Vegas and Vegas is known for their gambling, strippers, shows, hotels, food, etc. Just the thought of getting picked up at the front of the hotel at 4am on a Sunday plus a 12 mile tandem kayak down the Colorado River seemed mentally exhausting, but towards the end of the day, my girlfriend and I did not want the day to end! It was that much fun! Trust me, once you dip yourself into the extremely cold water of the Colorado River, you will be 100% completely wide awake, if that doesn't work, I don't know what will. The weather could not have been any more beautiful than the Sunday of June 1st. The sun was out with a slight breeze and it did not affect the toughness of kayaking throughout the day. I highly recommend this to anyone and everyone! Our guide Adam was awesome, couldn't ask for a funnier or more socialable guide. He was very knowledgeable in the history of Colorado River, he knew all the secret hot springs, the waterfalls, caves, and took us to a few areas to go diving, which was a unique treat. He was just an awesome guide and took amazing photos. If you are to book with this tour company, make sure you ask for Adam. He has plenty of his life stories to share and you will be laughing you're a$$ off throughout the trip. Rod is another tour guide whom had driven us to the kayak scene, but is a normal guide on half days, he provides great conversation and takes great pictures. You can't go wrong with either guide! We were extremely fortunate to see a herd of Rams coming down to the river to drink water during the 12 mile kayak at 3 separate incidences. It was absolutely beautiful and breathtaking, luckily Adam had taught us ahead of time on how to approach the Rams without scaring them off. We came about 10 feet close to them and took some close up photos....again, it was a great experience. My girlfriend and I had enjoyed each and every minute of this trip from 5am - 2pm. We had taken tons of pictures, had great conversation, and enjoyed the spectacular and breathtaking views. Never really saw Nevada that way given that Sin City is the first thing that pops to people's minds when they hear the state, Nevada. My views of Nevada have completely changed and I would definitely love to come back and do this tour. Shout out to Rod and Adam. You guys ROCK! read more
We took the all day kayak trip from thr Hoover Dam and couldnt have imagined how much fun it would be. From being picked up, a clear overview of the rudder system, and a synopsis of the day; it was super streamlined. Once we got on the water and got paddling we were in awe of how beauriful the river is. The blues and greens against the brown of the canyon was so spectacular. Laura was our guide and in addition to leading the way, we learned so much about the river, the building of the Hoover Dam, camping options, wildlife, you name it. Laura was THE BEST and we had a great time laughing and talking all day. It wasnt an impersonal guide, rather the experience was like hanging out with a friend... while paddling 12 miles in the Grand Canyon!! The was NO shortage of water, snacks, food. Lunch was delicious and there was more than enough. She was super attentive to remind us to drink water, reapply sunscreen. another Kudos goes out to Celeste , who was part of our pickup/drop off. I have a torn rotator cuff and I wasnt supposed to be kayaking at all. But Im a bad patient and I was hell bent in doing this. In my head, my brace was sufficient to pull it off. Celeste strongly encouraged me to not have a single kayak, but for us to have a tandem. She stressed thT the last 2 miles were tough and the day we went was super windy. And boy was it. It was a good thing I didnt have my own. The wind that day was fierce and I wouldn't have lasted 12 miles.Thank you Celeste!! Im also in SO much trouble with my physical therapist now. I soooo should have followed doctors orders because my shoulder is sore, but it was totally worth it. Such a fun day! read more

Loved our Emerald Cave trip (while celebrating our 23rd wedding anniversary)!! The staff was very helpful, knowledgeable, and fun. From the office staff who arranged the trip, to confirmation and our pick up/drop off. Celeste and Sienna (our guides) were so friendly and knowledgeable - So much fun!! We will definitely book more trips with them and suggest you do also!! read more
Updating my review after the kayak hoover dam tour a few days ago. Another wonderful experience with Evolution Expeditions. Everyone we encountered at Evolution Expeditions was extremely nice, helpful, and funny. Adam did a wonderful job as our tour guide. I highly recommend the Kayak Hoover Dam tour to everyone. What an amazing day! Yes, we kayaked ~12 mi in 108-degree weather but it was so worth it. It's an all day tour and probably our best day on the trip. The scenery was breathtaking. Sauna cave, hot springs, emerald cave were some of the amazing places we got to stop at. They also feed you yummy lunch, snacks, and water throughout the day. Our day started at around 5:30 am; don't let that intimidate you, the experience is well worth it. I plan on taking a tour with EE every time I go to Vegas because staying on the Strip just does not compare. read more
