Easy sign up process and they take the time to answer all of your questions. Very reasonably priced also. They met us exactly where they said and actually called me on my cell because I was 5 minutes late. They explained everything we needed to know including safety, how to navigate and best stops to make. When we went down the Colorado we hit some incredible head winds the second half of the trip which really slowed us down...but it was still fun and quite the adventure. When we finished, they were there waiting for us with cold water and frozen Otter Pops (kids like that a lot). I strongly recommend.

This is a full day rafting trip, early start and mid afternoon finish. Our guide Steve (and Brian) were excellent. Your guide will take you down the Colorado river, regular stops and make sure that you spot some local wildlife. Lunch, snacks and transfer all included. Smooth water rafting (most of the time). Suitable for beginners, double kayaks available. Whether you've done this sort of thing before or not, DO THIS TRIP!

I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to Desert Adventures for a wonderful experience! We did a 1 day Black Canyon kayak trip during our stay in Las Vegas. I felt it was the best day of the whole trip! I could have stayed days out on the river and not returned to Vegas at all! Steve picked us up at our hotel and was extremely friendly and answered all of our questions...no matter how obsure they were. The day ran smoothly and we were out on the water in no time. It was nice blend of kayaking and light hiking. Tim was our guide out on the river and was very knowledgable and helpful throughout the whole day. The lunches that were provided were fantastic and Desert Adventures went above and beyond any and all expectations I had for the day. The next time we are out in the Vegas area I plan on booking another trip with Desert Adventures...but this time it will be an overnight trip! If you are looking for something fun that doesn't require a casino and prefer being outdoors...then this is the trip for you! Thank you again to Desert Adventure for all that you did for us!

Sincerely,

3 of us (females, ages 26-32) planned a week long trip to visit Vegas and decided we wanted to get off the Strip a bit and site-see. I hopped on TripAdvisor to do some searching and read some fantastic reviews about the Kayaking through Desert Adventures. I must say...it wasn't what I expected. It was even better. There are truly no words to describe the amount of peace and beauty that you encounter. While it was an early morning to get up, I'd do it again in a heart beat and get up even earlier if it meant having more time out there. We did the full day excursion and I must warn you - it is one of THE most physically challenging and exhausting things I have ever done. Two out of the three of us are athletes. We go to the gym daily, play on quite a few competitive volleyball and softball teams, etc. We're young, non-smokers who are in shape. Not gonna lie...there were times where I didn't think we were gonna make it. I don't think that's quite the norm b/c of all days we did go out, they said it was one of the windiest days they've had in a long time. So, they drop you off at the bottom of the Hoover Dam and you already are paddling UP stream...that combine with the wind made it VERY tough. We had choppy waters and wind blowing us backwards. Luckily, it was a self-guided tour so we could stop when we wanted to and rest, but some times it made it even harder to get back out there. Unfortunately, due to the extra time we had to put in paddling so hard, we didn't make it to all the stops they give you on the map. But the ones we did, WOW. Truly amazing. I encourage anyone and everyone with stamina to do this and to take a camera, wrap it up in a water box and take as many pictures as you can. And for those who have never kayaked...well this was all of our first times and we made it. They will kinda just give you a map and drop you off and say see you in 8 hours...but you know that going into it. Don't be scared of getting lost or anything...it's impossible as it's just a straight shot. I can't say enough good things about this tour. But if you think you're not up to the physical challenge, I'd say opt for the 4 hour tour instead...it's more relaxing from what I understand. Oh, and prepare to SLEEP. We made it back to the hotel around 6pm and didn't wake up until 7am the next morning. I kid you not...we were WIPED out and missed an entire night out on the town. Good thing we were there for 8 days!
