From Vegas to Grand Canyon to Sedona this kayaking trip wa the highlight and it was on my birthday so appreciate how awesome it was! Communication prior was excellent. We really appreciated how efficient the process was in getting on the water. WOW. You could give a lesson to so many other outfits who spend so much time lining up, taking attendance, giving a briefing and then lining up again. We were given the info we needed and on our way. Faith's knowledge of the area from wildlife to floral & fauna to history (my favorite was about Wilhelm). She had good knowledge, was personable and kept us moving and safe. So much fun. Definitely recommend!

What an amazing day on the river! Ryan was the best guide! He was so knowledgeable about the tour, the sights, the history and the ecological aspects. He was incredibly prepared for the day too. 5 out of 5! Definitely recommend Ryan and this outfitter!

My friends and I recently went on the Emerald Cave Express Kayak Tour from Las Vegas, and it was an unforgettable experience! From start to finish, everything was perfectly organized, and the breathtaking scenery was worth every moment.Our coach was the highlight of the trip—super knowledgeable, patient, and incredibly enthusiastic. They made sure everyone felt safe and confident, whether it was their first time kayaking or they were seasoned paddlers. Their passion for nature and the history of the area really shone through, and they shared so many fascinating stories along the way.The kayaking itself was fantastic! The waters were calm, the views were stunning, and exploring the emerald cave was magical. It was a peaceful escape from the buzz of Vegas, and we even got some great photo opportunities thanks to our coach's expert tips!If you’re looking for a blend of adventure, relaxation, and natural beauty, this tour is a must-do. We can’t recommend it enough, especially with such an amazing coach guiding the way!

We had such a beautiful experience and a fun time on this tour they handled everything seamlessly and their equipment was top-notch. We really enjoyed our guide faith tell the news so much about the area, even down to little tiny details he would never know without going onto tour with them. She brought Drinks and snacks and Picked us right up from our hotel. The Canyon tour was amazing and they had so many other packages were very excited to come back and try another we definitely recommend

What a great time we had yesterday kayaking up and down the Colorado River/Black Canyon with our very informative guides Faith and Ryan. They were very cautious with our group at first, but realized we all were experienced kayakers, so they were able to spend more time informing us about the environment, ecosystem and fish hatchery located on the river. We took a small walking tour and learned alot about the native plants, rocks and minerals, along with some of the invasive species too. The people at Evolution Expedition Kayaking were so wonderful to work with. We thought the tour may get canceled and they communicated with us every step of the way. The weather wasn't perfect, but all we had to deal with was some wind and the day turned out perfect. If your ever in Vegas and need to get outside, I would strongly recommend Evolution Expedition, they are a class act and we plan on going back again next year! Thanks Ryan and Faith for such a great adventure.

What to expect questions answered sincerely, timely and via phone or email. The kayak was high quality which made a big difference, you could see groups with other excursions struggling with their rental like kayaks. Our guide "Sal" was excellent from perspectives of helpful, playful and joyful 😊. So glad I chose Evolution Expeditions and experienced the Colorado River, Emerald Cave and Black Canyon.

This was a great experience from beginning to end. We were very well catered to and entertained. Faith was on time, very professional, friendly and conversational. She and Aaron made us feel like old friends they wanted to show a good time in their home town. I loved being picked up, having all equipment provided, informed about the history and shown the beautiful surroundings we never would have experienced if not taken with them. The food, extra water and snacks were such a bonus! They even brought extra sunscreen. Totally first class experience. We definitely would tell our friends to go and take another tour with this company.

The kayaking trip was very fun for me and my family. It was one of the best experiences of our Las Vegas vacation. Our tour guide Ryan was very helpful in teaching us how to kayak and gave us very insightful descriptions on the Emerald Cave.
