Reviews for Hoover Dam Kayak Tour: Black Canyon & Emerald Cave, Las Vegas

This was an amazing tour! This was my first time kayaking and it was very doable. Our tour guide, Anthony, was awesome - informative and helpful. It was windy so the trip back against the wind was interesting. I'd recommend getting in the water when you stop at the beach on the way back.

Such a great experience and a must do when in the Vegas area. Juston was our amazing guide - equal parts dad jokes and local knowledge. Highly recommend LV SUP and Kayak and Juston!

Professional and kind staff. Unfortunately, the winds prevented my kayak trip, but being from Buffalo, NY I’m all too familiar with weather controlling the fun. BUT, I’d rather have a company more concerned with safety than $$. Cannot wait for my next trip back so I can (fingers crossed) get out there, but again, I so very much appreciate the staff’s courtesy and respect for safety! Top notch in my book!

I recommend anyone visiting Las Vegas to take this kayak tour to Emerald Cave. It's very nice outdoor activity with beautiful scenery. Kwame was our tour guide and transfer driver. He was very thorough, thoughtful and took care all of us. Very knowledgeable, professional, prompt, patient and took good photos too. Book his tour and you'll have a great kayak event!

Kayaking to Emerald Cave was the highlight of Vegas trip. The water was calm when we headed out but was little rough from boats and the wind. There wasx2 groups in front of our group so we wait 36 minutes to enter the cave. Our guide Anthony was great, shared information and facts about the river and it's past history. Anthony was nice, super friendly and funny.

10/10 Highly Recommend Jonny! Jonny was hands down the best tour guide we had during our entire vacation. We went on several different tours at different locations and he stood out above all of them. From the start he was incredibly friendly, fun, and knowledgeable, which made the Emerald Cave kayak tour one of the highlights of our trip. What really set Jonny apart was how he took the time to get to know everyone and made sure we all felt comfortable and included. He was also very thoughtful throughout the tour, reminding us to apply sunscreen, drink water, and keeping a great pace so we never felt rushed. You can tell he genuinely cares about making sure everyone has an amazing experience. Jonny went above and beyond and truly made the tour unforgettable. We would absolutely recommend booking the Emerald Cave kayak tour, especially if you get Jonny as your guide!

Zen and Austin were great today! Good energy, safe trip in the shuttle and the river.

Kwame was great lead. Nice views.

Johnny B was a great guide

So glad we booked the Emerald Cave tour. Although the cave itself is not very deep it does make for a great photo opportunity due to the natural way the light hits the water and makes it glow green. Despite a rough start due to some conflicting pick up time text messages and some unexpected traffic caused by some car accidents which are out of the guides control, the day ended up great. Good weather, clear skies, cool water, soft current and beautiful views all along the route. A little wait in line to get into the cave and great photo opportunities all day. Cory was awesome. Super chill and made sure everyone (we were a group of 12) was comfortable and enjoying their time. On the drive home the vans A/C had a hard time keeping up so it was a little uncomfortable but again, something out of Cory's control but the tour operator may want to recharge the system. Definitely recommend tour if you're in town.

Amazing service! Would recommend to anyone looking for a fun adventure.

Justin was fun, funny, and knowledgeable about the things we saw in the river...great time would totally do again!

Loved this trip was so much fun! These guys really helped us to make the trip happen, carrying all of our boats helping us load and launch them. Would definitely recommend!

Anthony W was a great tour guide! It was a fun day excursion from Las Vegas and would highly recommend.

Anthony did a great job getting us to and from the tour- and the tour was AWESOME! The experience is seriously about the journey- it was wonderful to be out on the water surrounded by such beauty!

Triston was a great guide. The day was awesome even though we battle some strong winds. It was easy to book and enjoyed the day!

Triston was an amazing guide. He was on time very thorough and knowledgeable absolutely loved our day trip today! Thank you Triston for making it so fun

Anthony was great! The experience was really fun and there were a lot of great facts shared!

Anthony for President!! 🙌 We had the BEST time! Anthony was super knowledgeable without ever overdoing it—just the perfect vibe. This was for a girlfriend’s birthday trip and honestly, we couldn’t have asked for more. We got so lucky too… the river was like glass, no wind at all, and no line at Emerald Cave. Absolute perfection. Thank you so much for such an amazing experience!!

Scheduled a kayak for a self rental and everything went smooth and easy. Very clear on the meat up locations and expectations. Reasonable price compared to the marina. The rental time felt like plenty for our day of exploring.
