What people are saying about Lake Mead National Recreation Area

Amazing experience!!! I had a great time on the Colorado River even though I’m a beginner kayaker. Breathtaking nature, crystal clear water, interesting wildlife. Our guide led the group safely and took care of each participant very individually. I loved this tour in and out and would do it again. Highly recommended!!

It was the greatest experience I ever had! Scenery was amazing and our guide Benjamin was great! They served us with snacks as bananas, granola bars plenty of water and kayaks were top notch.

From start to finish it was awesome. Very knowledgeable and polite guide. Scenery is amazing. Worth every single penny. Must do while you are in Vegas!
