We had the absolute best time on our tour with Faith!!! It was already the best day and then this happened!! I became a fiancée in one of the most beautiful spots I have ever seen! Emerald Cave Express was the best! Can’t wait to go back for our engagement anniversary and do the sunset trip!! We love you Faith! Thank you again!

First time on Lake Mead for a sunset tour. Our guide was Ryan Hannah, I might be his Mom, however I was very anxious going at night. It’s funny how the roles change ya know, he assuring me Mom it’s ok, he’s giving me snacks of gold fish and a juice box. Oh my. Awesome experience. Peaceful!! Thanks so much Evolution Expeditions.

The sunset kayak tour was beautiful! Roy was very kind and attentive, ensuring our family of nine had a good time. We learned a lot about Lake Mead and the Hoover Dam. Once we arrived at our destination, about one mile from the launch, we had spectacular views all around. We enjoyed a nice sandwich and roasted smores over a fire—it was delightful! The kayak trip back as the sun was going down was magical, with all the kayaks lit up to help guide us in the dark. I recommend this for all families with children ages three and up!

Five of us close friends signed up for the night paddle on Lake Mead with Dylan. 100/5 stars. The paddle was easy and relaxing, and swapping stories by the campfire with s’mores was so fun. After dark, we paddled back. The view of the stars and the quiet calmness of the lake was amazing. Dylan was funny, chill, and very knowledgeable about the area. HIGHLY recommend!

Ray and Faith were remarkably informative of local knowledge regarding Las Vegas and surrounding areas, especially climate concerns. Our time was so awesome! We did a sunset kayak tour, and our guides provided a safe and profound experience! Dinner, fire, smores, laughs, peace, all complete with a kayak lit paddle back. We left like they were part of the family! Breathtaking.

We did the Lake Mead sunset paddle on 01/17/24. Our guide was Steven and he was awesome!! really made sure that our safety was his priority as well as making sure the entire experience was memorable for us. We did not have to worry about a single thing except showing up which he even made sure to call ahead of time and give us proper directions on where to meet him. Steven brought along sandwiches with drinks and snacks, gave us some time to enjoy the view and our food while he set up our campfire and allowed us to make smoress which he had brought the supplies for as well! Very relaxing and fun experience, as I mentioned we felt completely safe having Steven as our tour guide and he made sure we had a lot of fun as well. Steven also took pictures of us along the experience and had them sent over to us that night, which was great! Looking forward to booking the kayak experience to emerald cave soon as well!
