“Beautiful experience rafting down the Colorado River. Esteban picked us up from our hotel on the strip and shared his knowledge of the area and was a lot of fun. Paul our raft tour guide was very informative pointing out different things along the Colorado river and the Hoover Dam. The tour was scenic, stopping in different areas to get out to explore a bit or dip in the river which I enjoyed. The lunch was great.

“It was a little confusing to know where we were supposed to meet for the kayak. There were several other kayak rental places there. The text message said to look for the truck with the business name on it and there wasn’t one we had to ask a couple of guys who the rental place was because they were using a U-Haul truck. Once we got everything figured out and met up with them, everything went so smoothly. They talked us through everything and one of the guys even paddled up a few times just to check on everybody to see if we were all OK while we were out…”
