My Soccer team from Georgia had a Kayak tour on April 16th and had a wonderful time. Antonio was fantastic at explaining the history and natural aspects of the area. It really made our tour outstanding! Mike and Antonio worked well as a team. Antonio also promoted some of your other adventures and we will be back next year to... More

We had a wonderful kayak trip on lake mead. We rented just the kind of kayak we wanted from Desert Adventures in Boulder City, a sit on top for lots of floating and not much current and had a gorgeous afternoon paddling and floating and hanging out on the islands in the lake. I am the one who finds and... More

Be prepared for a memorable day on the water. Everything was on schedule-the hotel pickup, arriving at the Desert Adventures headquarters, arriving to the Hoover Dam via van w/ the kayaks in tow and finally, the drop into the Colorado River. 11.7 miles on the river which also includes hikes into the hot springs and caves. An opportunity to see... More

My wife & I paddled down the Colorado River in Black rock canyon with these folks. The trip was incredible. The scenery spectacular, the guide was wonderful, and all of the staff goes out of their way to make this an unbelievable trip. I highly recommend this trip. If I lived closer I would make this trip again and again.... More

My name is Ian Wills and my fiancee, Andrea Chapman, and I took a day long kayak tour of Black Canyon (Grand Canyon) in late July. Our tour guide was Regina and she was absolutely amazing. She made us feel like we were pros and kept the mood and attitude up even though we were beginning kayakers headed 12 miles... More

We were staying in Las Vegas for a long weekend and didn't want to gamble that much so we decided to look for nearby adventures. Although my husband isn't a lover of kayaking, he even loved this trip down the Colorado River. We were picked up at our hotel, driven to the river right below the Hoover dam. Everything was... More

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... More

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... More

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... More
