Great tour. Never felt rushed or herded. Our priority was to have a good experience as a family and they delivered. The tour time we selected with them avoided the crowds (which we could see). We were alone on long stretches of river and even in the Emerald Cave. We had great light and ample time to take pictures. If however you are willing to queue outside the cave (it isn't that big) a long time in hopes of capturing the perfect picture then this may not be the right operator for you. We would like to rerun and paddle up to the damn and would select Kayak Lake Mead without hesitation.

Had the best time on the Emerald Cave Kayak Tour with Ian. He was extremely personable and patient with us, made sure we were comfortable with everything we were doing, and had a wealth of knowledge about the area. We never felt rushed and got to fully enjoy the tour from kayaking to swimming in the river and even a short walk to a historic site. Would highly recommend Ian and Kayak Lake Mead for an unforgettable experience.

We had so much fun with Ian. He is very knowledgeable of the area. Knows his history and plants and animals and things of interest that made our trip very fun. Ian has a very quiet demeanor, and the trip was so enjoyable and so peaceful that we can’t wait to book with him again. The group was small. Other groups around us I could hear them and it sounded like they were herding cats. Our group was small. We had so much fun. We ended up going to lunch and to the park afterwards with the other couple that was in our group. I highly recommend Ian and can’t wait to book with him again. Thank you, Ian, for such a wonderful day!

2026-07-27T02:40:54.836Z

Ian was an amazing guide. Very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. He has the best boats and I like the small group policy. It was perfect for our family. I highly recommend booking a tour with the crew at Kayak Lake Mead.

2026-07-25T04:13:41.216Z

What can I say other than an amazing time Mr Ian and his team run a really good wholesome fun show here, they make it a point for everyone to feel inclusive and are very knowledgeable just about anything if you have the time definitely check them out

2026-07-23T03:33:16.254Z

Archer was a wonderful guide! Very informative and friendly. We enjoyed our time with her. We loved the experience!

2026-07-19T20:43:55.679Z

Had a great time this morning Ian is an expert guide and super friendly guy. Very knowledgeable about the wildlife and plants. Great conversation the whole trip.

The moonlight Kayak trip is amazing. It is quiet and peaceful with only you and the water. I kept falling behind due to stopping to enjoy the stillness. Ian was great. We stopped at a beach, had a small fire and sat and talked. The paddle back was in total darkness except for the kayak beacon lights on the rear of the kayaks & headlamps so you know where everyone is. We met Sam and his dog Herbie on the beach, chill guy and water loving dog. Plus, you don't have the sun beating on you for 3 hours. DO THIS TRIP!

2026-07-08T19:15:31.798Z

Our guides were awesome! Very patient and knowledgeable. Our family had a wonderful time and it was a great experience. We went for the morning time so that it was not as hot, was windy on the return, but our guides went above and beyond to help us push through.

2026-07-05T22:56:06.127Z

A great morning kayak trip. Ian is the best guide.

2026-07-05T02:07:10.698Z

Amazing company with amazing people!

2026-07-04T21:19:19.189Z

10 out of 10 experience! From start to finish, it was fun, relaxing, and rewarding. Ian was our tour guide and we had the best time with him. Not only was he informative, he was humorous and caring. As Las Vegas locals, we look forward to getting out of the madness of the concrete jungle and this was exactly what we needed. If you are going with a partner, best friend, or family member, I highly recommend the double kayak to work in tandem together. Thank you, Ian! We’ll definitely be back!

2026-07-04T18:46:16.643Z

Archer, our guide made the whole trip amazing. Right from the start she was informative and helpful getting us going and made the whole experience amazing!!!! Perfect pre trip instruction, and communication from start to finish. We will be going back, the kayak’s were in excellent condition and shape all equipment was clean and ready for us! Ready to do the 12 mile one next !

2026-07-02T20:33:53.313Z

Sam was an excellent guide on our kayak tour! It was a great experience. The kayaks were very nice and all the equipment was in great condition. Our next adventure in the area will definitely be booked with Kayak Lake Mead and I would absolutely recommend using these guys if you want a good adventure with a friendly, knowledgeable guide.

2026-07-01T19:16:57.810Z

Our clan of 15 including grandkids from age 7-15 thoroughly enjoyed this trip! While we did mant fun activities in our 10 day stay in Nevada, Arizona, and Utah, the consensus was is that this was the favorite!! Ian an the other guides, Archer and Sam were very helpful and kind. Just loved the whole experience. Don’t hesitate to sign up for this adventure!!

Our kayaking experience was absolutely amazing! It was my first time kayaking, and I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was. We had a double kayak, which was incredibly easy to maneuver, making the experience even more enjoyable.Our guide, Archer, was fantastic! She was extremely knowledgeable about the area, kept great conversations going throughout the trip, and made the entire experience fun and relaxing. She also took incredible photos of us along the way and conveniently shared them afterward through a Google Drive link. As an added bonus, she even provided snacks during the trip!The kayaks themselves were beautiful, very spacious, and had plenty of storage for our belongings. The route along the river was absolutely breathtaking, with stunning scenery around every bend.Ian, the person in charge of the booking, was very kind. He sent us clear instructions on where to meet as well as warn us about there being no cell service down at the marina, but I, admittedly and regrettably ignored. Please make sure you have transportation to an fro. Don't make the same mistake I did (which Ian and Archer were considerate enough to help resolve).I couldn't have asked for a better first kayaking experience. I highly recommend this company, and if you get Archer as your guide, you're in for an unforgettable adventure!

We chose this activity from Australia and we are so happy we did this. We had the best time. Ian was great as a tour guide. He shared knowledge and was able to answer our questions without hesitation. The views were stunning.

2026-06-28T18:00:42.073Z

Really fun experience. Ian was an A+ guide. There are other guide groups operating from the launch point but Kayak Lake Mead clearly provided the nicest kayaks and guided by far the smallest groups.

2026-06-27T19:59:22.890Z

Great experience awesome guides. Highly recommend.

2026-06-26T14:52:00.381Z

The kayaks were really nice, much better than standard issue kayaks you typically get on thsse tours. Our tour guide was laid back and let is go on our own pace and adapted the tour to what we wanted to do. Really recommend this tour!

2026-06-26T01:26:58.128Z

Ian and Easter were awesome kayak instructors, their equipment was well maintained. Highly recommend this specific kayak small business, the classes were small and well organized with lots of surprise activities.

2026-06-24T03:46:45.419Z

awesome time...Sam the guide was great...we were all beginners and this was still so worth it!!!

2026-06-23T19:40:29.803Z

Absolutely beautiful experience. Loved our guide..she took her time, didn't press conversation but was very informative & personable. 10/10! The quick break with a short walk & pictures were a nice surprise 🌟

Unforgettable Kayaking Experience with Kayak Lake Mead – A Must-Do Adventure!"If you're looking for an unforgettable experience that goes beyond the bright lights of the Las Vegas Strip, Kayak Lake Mead is the way to go. You’ll be pleasantly surprised by the magic of Black Canyon—how it completely takes you in. It’s the kind of adventure that feels like the medicine you didn’t even know you needed. From the soaring eagles to the bighorn sheep grazing along the cliffs, the beauty of the area is fully engulfing and awe-inspiring.I’ve had the amazing experience of being around the incredible people at Kayak Lake Mead, and they’ve been an incredible blessing in my adventures. Whether it’s putting in at Hoover Dam for a solo trip down to Willow Beach or planning an excursion with friends, they always go above and beyond.Recently, my friend Allison flew in from Texas for a 12-mile kayaking trip—something she had never done before. IAN, with his top-notch truck and trailer setup, made everything effortless. He did a fabulous job ensuring Allison had the perfect life vest fit, putting safety first. He even provided us with a dry bag and extra dry clothes, which were a lifesaver given the chilly weather and cold water temperatures. His generosity and attention to detail made all the difference.IAN also let us use one of his kayaks, which was absolutely instrumental in making this adventure happen. I've known IAN for some time now, and he is truly an amazing person—trustworthy, hardworking, and incredibly knowledgeable about the area. His skills and genuine passion for the outdoors make him someone you definitely want around for an adventure like this.So, if you're considering kayaking and you're in the Las Vegas area, do yourself a favor—reach out to Kayak Lake Mead. It’s an experience that’s far more rewarding than spending all your time at the casinos. Take a break, immerse yourself in the natural beauty of the region, and discover the playground of outdoor activities waiting for you.This experience has been truly life-changing for me, and I know it can be for you too. There are some really special people around here, and IAN is definitely one of them. Highly recommend!Blessings Friends

They offer an early morning kayaking experience, which means you can avoid the crowd and have the Colorado River to yourself instead of the circus that happens later when all the other tours are happening simultaneously.

2026-06-22T16:40:48.118Z

Great day on the water! Archer was a very good guide and made the trip very enjoyable. I definitely recommend the morning trip.

2026-06-21T22:29:40.322Z

Absolutely amazing! Our guide, Archer, was so knowledgeable. I enjoyed her telling me and my family the history of the Hoover dam, the different birds and cactus on the trip. I went w/ my wife and 5 year old. Was an amazing father’s day! Can’t recommend this enough. Thanks again archer!
