The best experience

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Our kayaking trip to Emerald Cave on the Colorado River was one of the highlights of our Las Vegas vacation, and Michelle at River Dogz made it absolutely unforgettable! Michelle was incredibly knowledgeable and shared so much fascinating information throughout the tour—from the history of the river and the surrounding area to Las Vegas water conservation efforts, local wildlife, birds, and even stories about the city’s mob history. We learned so much while enjoying some of the most beautiful scenery we’ve ever seen. Beyond her knowledge, Michelle was patient, kind, encouraging, and genuinely a joy to be around. She made everyone feel comfortable, whether they were experienced kayakers or first-timers. Her passion for the area and for creating a great experience truly shines through. If you’re considering a trip to Emerald Cave, I cannot recommend Michelle and River Dogz enough. The views were breathtaking, the experience was relaxing and fun, and Michelle made the entire adventure one we’ll never forget. Thank you for such an amazing day! 🛶💙🌵☀️

Angry Rocks Meets Serene Beauty

Jessica was enthusiastic, and knowledgeable and I had a serene and educational adventure. It was hard to believe that beyond the volcanic rock loaming such a cool crisp paradise lie. A great way to experience the extremes this environment has to offer.

Response from the operator: What a beautiful description, thank you! We’re so glad you enjoyed the mix of serenity, scenery, and education on your paddle. Jessica will love hearing your words, she’s passionate about sharing the magic of this desert-meets-river landscape. We’d love to have you back anytime!

Best part of our Vegas trip!

Best day out of our whole Vegas trip! River Dogz made the whole day smooth so that we could just enjoy the river and Emerald Cave. Our tour group seemed to have a mix of beginner and experienced kayakers and this tour was enjoyable for us all. The river was perfect for a hot June day (with lots of sunscreen slathered on), and provided a good chance for a fun workout, peaceful scenery, and cool wildlife sightings. Emerald Cave was small but beautiful, and the two-mile paddle out to the cave was fun and beautiful all on its own. Our guide Derrik was great, super friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful, and he was really good at watching out for everyone and encouraging the group when the wind picked up and paddling got tough. He got some great pictures of our group and the scenery and shared them all, so even though I forgot my phone, I didn't end up needing to take photos myself. We'd definitely do this again next time we're in Vegas! Some tips to consider: 1. Definitely book a River Dogz tour. It's worth it to have a guide along the river and to have a company coordinating all the details and travel (having equipment, plenty of water, and snacks all ready for us, and being able to nap on the ride home after a long day in the sun was very much needed); 2. There is a very well stocked store at the marina that has anything you didn't already pack (sunscreen, water shoes, hats, sunglasses, towels, etc.) 3. Even with sunscreen the sun still got us a bit, so next time I'd pack a larger brim hat with a neck tie (it does get super windy at points) and a long sleeve shirt even on a sunny day; 4. Even inside the kayak it got pretty wet, and since we were allowed to leave belongings in the van if needed, next time I'd probably pack a set of dry clothes to change into for the ride home.

Response from the operator: Wow—thank you for such an amazing and thoughtful review Beatriz! We’re thrilled to hear the tour was the highlight of your Vegas trip! Derrick is a rockstar and we’re so glad he helped make your experience smooth, fun, and memorable—especially when the wind picked up. Sounds like you really made the most of the day, from the peaceful paddle to the wildlife and stunning views. We also really appreciate all the helpful tips you shared—those kinds of insights are so valuable for future guests. Can’t wait to have you back on the river next time you’re in town!

Green grotto glory

The scenery and whole experience was awesome. The green grotto was beautiful and so worth paddling for. Prestan was a very knowledgeable informative and enthusiastic guide.
